NO MATTER IF YOU´RE USING STRAPS OR BOOTS, THE NTT, THE VARIO COMBO AND THE DUOTONE BOOT SIMPLY FIT AND OFFER AMAZING COMFORT.
THE STANCE - WHICH POSITION SHOULD I FIT MY BOOTS OR STRAPS IN?
STANCE WIDTH
WIDE STANCE
+ MORE STABILITY IN LANDINGS
+ CAN HOLD MORE POWER
- INCREASED INNER SIDE KNEE INJURY RISK WITH OVERWIDE STANCE
NARROW STANCE
+ GREATER MANEUVERABILITY
+ LESS RESISTANCE IN ROTATIONS
TALLER PEOPLE NEED A WIDER STANCE THAN SHORTER PEOPLE. TO FIND YOUR STANCE WIDTH, JUMP FORWARD AND LAND IN A COMFORTABLE SQUAD POSITION.
PAD POSITION
CENTRED PADS
+ MORE STABILITY IN LANDINGS (WEIGHT LANDS THROUGH CENTRE OF BOARD)
- HARDER TO EDGE HEELSIDE WITH SMALL FEET
CLOSER TO HEELSIDE
+ EASIER TO EDGE ON HEELS FOR UPWIND AND JUMPING
- LESS STABILITY IN LANDINGS (WEIGHT LANDS OFF CENTRE)
- HARDER TO EDGE TOESIDE
IF YOU SUFFER PAIN IN SHINS; MOVE POSITION TOWARDS HEELS FOR EASIER EDGING.
FOOT ANGLE
DUCK FOOTED (WIDE ANGLE)
+ MORE MANEUVERBILITY IN VARIOUS RIDING STYLES (E.G. CARVING AND TOESIDE)
