One thing I've found is that my bindings by themself do not allow enough
forward lean. This limits how much I can bend my knees on toeside to
absorb bumps. Therefore the bumps tend to throw me around a lot. On my old
board, I made a pair of wedge shaped risers to give me a couple degrees
more of forward lean, which pretty much solved the problem. I just got a
new board which doesn't yet have the risers installed, and have found I
have much more of a problem turning toeside again. I am just finishing a
new riser set for that board.

The riser is just a piece of 3/4" plywood cut carefully with a handsaw
into a wedge of about 1/4" at the front and 1/2" at the back. I then cut
the pieces to match the bottom of the binding, and cut a hole for the
binding plate. Next, I primed the wood, and then coated the whole thing
with polyurethane caulk using an old credit card to give it a rubbery grip
surface, and bought longer screws for mounting the bindings through it.

Innovative work, Bob. Norm Abrams would be proud! That sounds like a great
idea. I may have to run a piece through the bandsaw and see how it feels.

What type of bindings do you currently use?

Does anyone have any experience with the K2 of Flow models with the
highbacks that 'flip' down? Or should I stick with conventional?

Thanks for the reply,
