Riding with lots of forward lean means that you have very bent legs. When riding pow, and lean over your back leg, you bend you back leg more than your front. This mimics the postion of one's leg when you ride with lots of forward lean. This is to say that the same muscle groups are used, and thus these muscles are used to the sensation that is created riding in pow with the weight over your back foot. I don't wish to pantronise but does my explanation make more sense now? I thought i had implioed this last time, my apologies.

I should further point out that the reasons i specified were for why i ride that set up on piste. Then the explanation i have just given should make more sense.

any questions?

If I read you correctly, you're only eliminating leg burn by making those muscles stronger in the first place and raising your 'leg burn' threshold. What I'm talking about is not having to put strain on your back leg at all. The energy that you would have spent on leaning back is then used in smoother turns, stronger slashes, etc

Greenrome, if you visit the oakley site you can find a sort of simulation of how each lens make you see the colors, contrast, etc...

I appreciate that, what i am suggesting is an option for anyone that does not posses a powder board, that wants to overcome leg burn.

I like instructors - personally never had a bad one - best investment you can make in MHO.

Thanks Coldcat

i was a bit fazed by all the technical stuff...

i am going to buy a board in niseko that i can also use in future in oz and nz, i suppose i should just get a normal, maybe freeride, board?

don't be scared by a freestyle board - they can be a lot of fun, plus they ride fine all over the mountain

thanks
