Default why hardboots?

On 22 Mar 2004 00:18:14 -0800, Arvin Chang said (and I quote):
How do you compute over/underhang? I'm riding a Mondo 25.5 Oxygen
Protons, which actually have soles that are a couple of mm longer than
my 26 Raichle 224s.


I don't really *compute* it. I just click my boots into the bindings,
and then hold the board perpendicular to the ground, and then try to put
a ruler at 90 deg to the edge.

How much does a wide board make
a difference? Like is a 19 cm board much quick edge to edge than a 21
cm board?


I don't think the edge-to-edge issue is that important. Better to
figure out the stance angles you like, and then get a board the right
width for them. Alternatively, if you want to ride powder you have to
figure that into it.
