After eight year bump I don't feel bad about a 10 month bump!
What I'm interested in is two primary questions:
1) what's the order of operations?
Set ramp angle, then forward lean, and finally delta (via boot sole grinding or binding shims.)
2) I read a post by Bud Heishman addressing question number one above, where I think he reccomended setting ramp angle first based upon one range of dorsiflexion and having some achilles tension at rest. Ski "... can't remember the website that is no longer in existence quoted early in the thread or elsewhere..." I think talked about setting ramp angle for "dynamic tension" which makes sense from a physiologic perspective. A slight stretch and activation of the golgi tendon apparatus would turn on proprioceptive neural activity and Preload muscles for action.
So how does one determine the appropriate ramp angle? Just to clarify, forward lean and delta can be set later. That is to say all three do different things but still affect center of mass I'm the saggital plane.
Unfortunately, I broke my boots last spring and am working through a new pair if boots. I have a 295 bsl and 130 flex boots so I'm sensitive to the fore aft balance thing. I don't race and therefore don't need crazy forward lean angles.
I just started working with a new to me boot fitter in our new locale.
Fuch epicski.
