Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok,
I'm heading out to Austria a couple of days before Christmas, and I'm looking at getting some riser plates for my board. I've got size 11 1/2 boots on a 250mm wide board, so I end up with about an 3/4 inch overhang on shallow duck angles (roughly +10, -10).
Basically, I'm wonderin if anyone has any experience with either the Palmer power link, Burton Elevators or Volkl plates. Also, if anybody thinks it is worth investing in higher end plates?
Thanks in advance.

sometimes you don't need them if you got "chunkier" bindings. I've never used them as flow bindings lift my toes up sufficiently, can't recall anyone here having used them before..........
I take it that it is 3/4" on both the toes and heel side??

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

sorry, that should be three qarters of an inch on the toe side only. My boot is lifted up quite a lot on the hell side, so shouldn't be a problem. To be honest, the toe side is quite elevated as well (Burton Cartels with "gas pedals"). I'm not so sure, so I might buy some cheap ones and not use them for the first day in Austria. If I have problems with toe drag, I can just stick them on the board for the rest of the time.

surely your bindings should be so that "overhang" is even from heel & toe.................? Then there would be no problem either side?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sorry, I'll make myself clear. THere is overhang on the back, but the way the binding is designed, the boot is elevated alot at the back. Probably pretty equal on both sides Anyway, I'm just going to order some cheap risers and see if they make a difference
