Educate me on carving hardboot snowboarding

[rideit]

I think this is a better thread. It would just get lost in the noise there.

As to all these carving videos, those laid out carves you see hardbooters (and now even softbooters doing), while maybe sort of cool looking, is simply over turning. It's not hard to do and it's actually pointless from a racing perspective.

^^^This.

Remember it can take up to a month of snowboarding to get sponsored...so stick with it kids.

I'd venture to say if snowboard giant slalom was in the olympics still

Oh, you mean the parallel giant slalom that's in the Olympics in a few weeks?

a talented rider on a soft boot set up could win gold.

Totally! And if ski GS was still in the Olympics a talented skier on nordic gear could win gold.

Also, buy a 29er

Seems like a good place...I have a pair of 26.5 Raichle 225's for sale. Good condition (not mint).
Make an offer?

Bump for alpine snowboarding. This has been a season on the east coast to carve without hard boots. Great snow to learn and progress on, so forgiving

Orange? Get the red one!

[willywhit]

I think that was the older version 19 centimeters wide? Right?

You are correct on the 19cm wide. I don’t recall an orange top sheet model but then again I don’t recall when they stopped importing them to the US.

Since you're in aspen, I got at for such in vail ,and of season, half price. Scored Cateks for cheap and traded them for bombers. Hot set up back then. My throttle had dual tech , some kind of rubber dampening tech. That board ripped, for the era anyway
Had the blue 173, Shannon melheuse,too.wider. heavy
