Baller gsm_peter Posted August 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2015 What are the advantages to rotate the back binding? Is it common? Is it recommended at lower ski levels? I have never done that before but tried it yesterday. Radar Vector FF hole pattern requires to move both the toe out and heel out on the other side. I would have preferred to start with heel centered and only toe out.. It seems like it is more comfortable for he knee and also improve the off side position a bit. (I picked up 2 boies last run final pass even when it was a bit choppy..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted August 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2015 I did that on my SL ski back in the back when. I was having trouble with a sore back foot/ankle, especially when I got squashed down on the ski at times. Of course, since I was jumping, I was abusing my body in other ways. It did make a difference, and the pain went away. Doing this may make your onside turns tighter/better, at the expense of your offside turns. Note that the iconic Warren Witherell did this with his rear binding. Probably after he got off his squareback slalom ski, that he reportedly ran 24 off with. (34mph, long endgates).

Administrators Horton Posted August 11, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2015 For me is it is just comfortable.

Baller OldboyII Posted August 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2015 Apologies for asking in your thread. Just want to save space in forum. My experiments with rear boot ended with rear foot knee ache. May be some rotation of rear boot may help? What is most common (or logical) way of rotation - "toe out" or "heel out"?

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted August 11, 2015 Supporting Member Share Posted August 11, 2015 Rotate little toe toward edge of ski. Do it even more with hard shells. I recommend for all ski levels for performance and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted August 11, 2015 Supporting Member Share Posted August 11, 2015 For me personally, I actually move my heel a little more than my toe, such that my rear boot's center-of-mass ends up just barely toward my big toe. I do not necessarily recommend that to others, but in general I do feel that the rear heel position is more important than the rear toe position.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted August 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2015 As Than said - mostly its about comfort. If you aren't comfortable on your ski, then your not going to ski at your max potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
