Hi all,
A little about my history with skiboards:
Started out learning how to snowboard and hated it, but still wanted to be on the slopes. Saw a YouTube video of Dave Lynam a few years ago and wanted to try skiboards. I'm pretty athletic and usually very balanced and coordinated so I opted for the RVL8 110 cm Condors with RVL8 Receptor non release bindings. To be honest, I felt like the Condors were too big and I had a hard time getting around on the mountain when not bombing down the hill. While shuttling myself to the ski lifts I kept crossing them and tripping over myself. The ski boots were wicked uncomfortable too, so I only went a few times per winter. Then life showed up and I had to pay college loans, so I sold them and opted to sit by the fire and drink sherry with people of refinement. Actually, it was PBR with some bum friends, but you get the idea.
I'm in a position now where I'd like to get back into the sport, so I just picked up the RVL8 101 KTPs which are a few inches shorter, but I'm at a loss as to what I should do about bindings. The modified snowboard bindings sound like heaven, but I'd like a few opinions before I go ahead and buy them. Or should I stick with ski bindings? If anybody has any pros/cons or personal experiences with them, I'd love to hear them.
Or if you have any other thoughts about my experiences in the past and want to help in the future, let me know too. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance for the responses!
