Evan Byrne said:*Cough, i do have legs, one of them is healing from a fracture.
i can and will post a video next week, my comp is being fixed so i can
unload video. From what i can tell the longer plates would be harder
to ballance on, one very helpfull ballance techiquie is so tilt the
platforms forward, and i dont know how well you could do that with
longer platforms. *
I BC and that is not at all true. I tired long plates at Toque and the
only way I can describe it is as if I was standing in a bucket, that was
on wheels. My feet felt so secure on them. I could go with no problem at
all and I was just starting to get into it at that point. With long
plates you can balance heel to toe, meaning you can switch your weight
back and forth instead of moving your whole body over the wheel to shift
your weight back and forth. Its like whats easier standing perpindicular
on the wide side of a 2 x 4 or the skinny side?
MERCYME, you made my sig, congratulations. I've been here for a year and
thats been one of my goals. Hop up a picnic table, grind a big rail, and
make a sig-line.
