It's not a huge problem, and with more experience, one is obviously better prepared to cope with greater variations. Sometimes I set my bindings up wrong when I arrive at the mountains, and generally I can tell straight away that something's not right. Although I can continue riding with the wrong settings, it feels wrong and uncomfortable. Riding switch OTOH is weird; theoretically I know what to do, but I don't have the so-called muscle-memory to do it on anything other than greens or easy blues. Actually, it's been so long that I'm not sure I can do it at all ATM. It takes a concerted effort to crack riding switch, especially to be relaxed at speed and/or on steeps. If it's an important thing for you to crack, then you just need to spend more time at it. I wouldn't necessarily change the bindings to do so though. Image setting your board up with -3/-15 and then riding normally, it's going to be very strange. So better to get the muscle memory working on the normal stance settings. If you really want, just go for a completely symmetric stance. |
