hi. thanks for reading this! i have been struggling with getting my 360s down and can't seem to finish the rotation. i have a capita horrorscope 147. i am a male and i weight 142lbs. and am 5'5".
when i tried on my friends board (girl) who rides a capita SMF 143, i can get the full rotation in.
can any of you experts help me with this? i am worried that because i don't have the height, i can't get enough rotation from my legs on a 147.
Could be the board weight more than size. Also check your stance. If you're rocking a 24" stance then you're going to have a hard time getting it around.
Actually, 22 is still wide for someone of your height.
Basically, the wide stance has a purpose, and it's not style: it helps you staying centered on your board.
I don't think you will suffer from a 22" stance for buttering. It could even help you get more off-centered.
As stated a wide stance isn't something you do to butter. It's what you setup when you can't stay centered. Also at your height you are BEGGING for a knee injury that wide. Take it down a notch. 22 is too wide. Go with 21 and see how that works for you on the snow.
