Mountainboard setup for carving style
A little ski-hill near my inlaws in VA rents mountainboards and opens their lifts in the summer. I've ridden their rentals a few times and had enough fun that I'm thinking of buying myself a (better) board of my own.
The boards I've rented, and all the ones I've seen on sites that sell them are all setup with bindings mounted for duck stance. I like a "carve" stance with my rear foot pointing slightly forward. Plenty of people setup snowboards like that. Does anybody ride a mountainboard that way?
On the rentals, I always feel like my rear foot is going to slip off the board on a hard toeside carve. Does anybody ever use any kind of heel-cup on a MB to keep that from happening?
Last question: Does anybody setup their front and rear trucks differently to improve turning performance/control?
