EC on Soft Setup??

Post by BrianShaw » Saturday 11 December 2004, 21:02

Does anyone here snowboard with the EC style on a soft setup? I would love to see pictures if you have any.

New stick is a Donek WD169 with Catek Freeride Pro's.
Old stick is a Coiler AM177 with Catek Olympic's.

Thanks,
Brian

Ah, I knew I'd seen this somewhere...

No, there's no way you're going to be able to do fully push-pull turns fully laid and continuous (EC) with a softy setup.

Now you could let the EC style influence your style (I believe positively), but that's about it.

For the record, I would consider you choice of Donek Wide + Catek Freerides being a good carvy option, though I still wouldn't rull out a wider AM alpine (your 19cm Coiler is pretty narrow) + softies as I mentioned over at the Catek forum.
