Hi to all the team and forum participants... just registered... just jumped from skiing to alpine snowborading... amazing... but still can't overcome some basic issues... I am 190cm tall and weigh approx 95 kg, feet size 45,5 (11 UK)... my deeluxe lemans boots are huge and I have some major problem in setting my bindings so to avoid toes and heels sticking out the side of my board... by the way I ride a Burton Ultra Prime '68 (width at waist 20,5 cm) with Burton Race Bindings... increasing the angle of the bindings too much causes me increase difficulty in controlling the board... any suggestions...

Hi X-Men,
you can adjust the angles with Burton Race only in steps of 3 degrees unfortunately. Your Ultra Prime width of 21,5cm is wider compared to other raceboard which are often only 18,19cm width. With your large feet i don´t see any chance to avoid steep binding angels because otherwise your feet will tough the snow which needs to be avoided. You should think about a wider board purchase in the future which allows flat angles eg. the Swoard (23cm)
. Maybe someone else has another tip.

Hi X-men,
Does '68 mean 168 cm length. In that case you'll face difficulties in EC. My experience is that with your size that board is too short for you, you might feel that you are about to fall over the nose of the board during riding.
I'm 188 cm, now less than 90 kg but was more heavy last season, size 44 foot, (so a bit smaller than you in every aspects) and I can not really ride a shorter board than 170 cm.
Concerning the angles, this site offers 55 max on the front foot which results in 50-49-48 on the back, depending on the physiology of the rider. That is an opinion (probably right) but I think that with a width of 20,5 cm at suck a short board should allow you to ride something like F63 B57, which is still not too bad for EC. (on my Silberpfeil I use these settings)
Cheers,
István
