A fellow hardbooter? I feel like the base size on snowboards benefits even more from good tuning than a lot of narrow race skis. And, obviously, you only have 1 edge instead of two, so the load on the edge is bigger.
apropos of this discussion, my main board probably never gets a serious tune now that I live in the rockies. back in VT, it was critical daily maintenance due to the amount of ice you actually encountered.
- jcgrillo 2y agoYeah current setup is Tanker 201, Upz RC11s, and F2 race bindings. I also have an F2 GS board with these awesome big rubber riser plates and F2 bindings as well but I don't ride it very often as I can carve the Tanker much tighter and slower, which as you know is important on narrow, icy east coast trails
- abakker 2y agoHaha, another PSR/Eric Brammer student maybe? I'm also on a tanker 200, F2 race TIs and an older pair of Deelux Track 325s. I keep waiting for a good deal on an f2 silberfeil or a not very aggressive Donek Axis to come up for sale.
- jcgrillo 2y agoNo I'm not familiar with those two, I'm self-taught mostly from reading stuff online and watching racers practice. I skied for 8 years or so before snowboarding (I believe I started around 2001?) so carving the board has always been kind of natural for me once I got past the whole two feet stuck down thing.
