i think it has something to do with the canting forward and back (like flexing) and also side to side. I know the 1080's come with a wrench and im pretty sure you can adjust some stuff. Ive never really worked with it at all though.

wow, hmmm. those two numbers are the bullshit 'canting' setting on your boots. real canting has to be done by a bootfitter in a store with insoles, wedges, etc... canting, because you probly dont know, is the lean side to side on your boots. it has nothing to do with for and aft movement. jon mounts his skis further forward than center to do his nose grabs. it has nothing to do with his boots. although softer flex does help.

GOSH...... IDIOT!

there are certain boots that you can change your cant angle on the boot and it is the angle at your ankle to the side and not to the front or back but the best way you can find out is by going to a shop that specialize in fitting


any one for another beer
