Tree & powder board
Get a Malolo. 4-5 cm shorter than your usual deck. Same length if
you're talking more open (as opposed to tighter trees). It's a

HELP with my new FLOW-NXT bindings!!
Make sure the boot is centered on the baseplate & the bindings are
centered edge-to-edge on the board. Performance should be at least as
good, if not better, than the Cinch.

Bindings don't stay on
Burton on the brain. They curve all their ratchet bases - work best
when located up near the big toe.
Over little toe - my mistake!

Driver-X boots, C-60 bindings & the Custom-X. Won't be the best in
