I love it. Heelside turn becomes very smooth.

I recommend shaving 3mm off the cant disk.

Disadvantages include weight, really fiddly for those with boot size 25 or less (I'm size 24 and it's really hard to centre the boot to the binding), cost.

Thank you guys for the input, I'm definitely giving this some serious thought... With the increased lateral flex afforded by the SideWinder make it easier to execute fully laid EC?
