A real pain in the leg - suggestions?
I've been doing a lot of boarding this season and suddenly my left (front)
leg really started to hurt when I go toeside. The faster I go and the more vibration my foot needs to absorb the more it hurts. The part that hurts is the external part of my leg near my ankle that stays covered by the boot. If feels like because the boot is snug when I go toeside and need to contract the muscles in that area these don't have much room to "expand" and get squeezed by the boot making it hurt. Has anyone had any similar problem? My front binding is at 15'. Any suggestions? Thanks Marco |

A real pain in the leg - suggestions?
Could be a number of things but i've had similiar pains (always in my
leading foot) and backing off on my angle has usually helped. E.G. if you're at +15 leading foot now back it off to +5. If its not your stance then it could be your boots, your technique, and a number of other things..Bindings too.. But I usually start with my stance.... Hit a bunny slope and tune in some different settings and see if the strain goes away.. It *appears* to me that the faster you could you don't really have much more vibration on the board (well, I don't). It may be your riding style when you're going faster? Do you ride on edges mostly or is your board set flat when you're crusiing? insert add'l questions here On Wed, 10 Mar 2004 06:23:26 -0800, "Marco Bombardi" wrote: I've been doing a lot of boarding this season and suddenly my left (front) leg really started to hurt when I go toeside.

You'll have to do some research to figure out your problem as it could
be so many..or a combination... questions like: when did it start? what changed? and other troubleshooting questions you could answer may help.. If you're riding down a hill- try to find a position in your bindings that doesn't hurt. Note it and try to determine if you're leaning too far forward or backwards- perhaps your stance is too far apart (or too close). There are soooooooooo many potential factors...

Would you recommend a stance +5 +5 or +5 0 for non ducks ?

can't recommend either way..
I'm -6 +10 goofy ---use to be -6 +21 but was experiencing too much front leg strain with those settings..I learned those settings from tweaking for about two runs..took 15 minutes..I recommend you do the same until you feel tuned in. I don't ride on edges..maybe you choose to do- so these settings may or may not work for you... you seriously gotta get out there with a tool and just tweak and tweak and tweak...
