Is the turning radius really important?

The turning radius is an important parameter of the snowboard. I often see the forum talking about: “How can the snowboard radius be so big? Will it not turn around?” “So-and-such is a small area around the globe. The waist is more than 80 radius but like the small spin, it is flexible enough. It is better to choose a small swivel plate than to choose it.” “So-and-so is a double radius, big and small bends are convenient.” “How big a radius of this women's board is 1 meter 5? Not good, it's going to be awkward to slide.”

In fact, I would like to discuss, is the turning radius really important? We all want to have flexible boards. In this case, the smaller the radius, the better. Why does the company still have to make big-radius boards? If the wide board can be turned as easily as a small swivel with a small radius, isn't it perfect? Not to mention wild snow, even if the general pit and snow conditions to cope with it is stronger than the narrow, so simple question, why do we have to make small swing 67?

The first question is why the snowboard is so big?

The radius of the turn is only related to the ratio of the measurements of the snowboard. A small radius requires a relatively large head and tail, and a relatively narrow waist. This is only relative. In other words, if you want to make a wide waistline and you have a small radius at the same time, there is no problem at all. Just widen your measurements and you're OK. But what is the result of this? The widening of the head and tail to a certain extent has increased the possibility of fighting between the two boards. Skiers who engage in skiing have to walk on both legs and are inconvenient. Therefore, heads and tails cannot be widened without restriction.

On the other hand, is this really necessary?

The wide range of wild snowboarding is to improve the adaptability of deep snow/soft snow. The turning radius only has an effect on the radius of the carbene bending/moving edge. Is it necessary to go all day in deep snow? If you want to pick up the snow, or even twist it, ok, then what radius do you love to turn to what radius, the radius of the board's turn and you do not matter. Really suitable for the wild snowboard blade, which is the sky powder snow, this time even if the radius of 20 meters, it will only make you run up more fun, right?

The second question, the small radius of the whole area, can we get a small rotary board?

Waist width of 75 + or even 80 + full-area board, to make a small radius of 11-13 meters, in recent years, manufacturers are most willing to do things. Because the whole area requires both running in deep snow and running on snowy roads, Carbene performance is still very important, and a small turning radius is very useful.

However, it is impossible to expect such a board to slide up and be as agile and flexible as a small swivel plate with a waist width of 67mm. The wider the board, the greater the moment that the standing edge is at the same angle, that is, the more energy you will use to change the blade back and forth, the slower it will change. This is not a problem that can be solved simply by reducing the radius. It is because of this that all the sports boards, regardless of the big swings and small turns, are very narrow, so as to ensure the most efficient gliding on hard snowy roads.

For each person, it is impossible to keep slipping snow and snow. It is hoped that there will be a perfect combination, and the whole region will cater to this kind of mentality. Unfortunately, these two aspects of performance, It is the relationship between this and the other. It cannot be a perfect balance. When you choose, you can only choose the right waistline and make a compromise according to your need of ski slopes and snow.

The third question is whether the double radii is really big or small. Is the double radius better than the single radius?

The so-called double-radius design is nothing more than a small radius from the end of the board to the waist of the board, and a large radius from the board's waist to the end of the board; small radius into the bend, and a large radius out of the bend. Because the small radius when entering the bend has a great influence on the flexibility, the out-of-turn can change the radius through the snow. In other words, this type of board has a wide board head, narrow board waist, narrow board tail, and a Y-shaped configuration (conversely, the traditional single radius, head width, narrow waist, and tail width are the X configuration. This division is very vivid).

In fact, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. X configuration board, the end of the board is relatively strenuous snow, but Cabernet will be very stable, the equivalent of your board "force" your carbine; and Y-shaped board, the end of the board to reduce the width of the snow is easy; but you want When you complete a carbene bend, you will also have a tendency to snow at the end of the board. Some people who are used to walking with a single radius board will feel slightly dragged when changing to a double radius. The radius cannot be simply said to be better or better than a single radius, depending on the habits of individuals. However, the dual-radius/Y-shaped board has indeed become more and more popular in recent years. Not only does the all-round board (comparison of large radius and small radius) favor this configuration, but it is also true in all regions. The reason for this is that the snow conditions that are dealt with by the entire region are more complicated, and the tails are made narrower. It is easier and more flexible to adapt to snow and twist.

The fourth question is how big is the radius of the women's board?

The last time there was a mm post selection board in the forum, a lot of male snow friends commented that this board radius is too big, only about 1 meter 5 board, how can there be a radius of 13,14 meters? Magnified to 1 meter 7 is not turned into a large swivel plate, which allows people to control the small mm? In fact, this size is common in women's boards. On the one hand, because the size of the women's board is one step shorter than that of the men's board, the flexibility is not bad even if the radius is not too small. On the other hand, the skiing habits are different for men and women: Does a girl really go skiing on Carbide Ben all day long? The first board of many female snowboarders is even a park board with a radius of 20 meters. It is just a good look or light purchase, and it slides very well. There is no problem with the big back and small back. The reason is very simple. People do not play with Cabin. , Ignore the radius that you value very much. On the other hand, as we have discussed before, if we want to make the radius small, we have to have a wide head and tail, and if it is wide, it will be very tired. If the slippery person is simply a small number of Dokas, it would be worse. It's more comfortable to make the radius bigger.

The above is my point of view. Before the snow season, it is suitable for researching equipment. Everyone in the wall is going to talk about it.
