Lifter and or Risers
Posted: Thu May 04, 2006 5:54 pm
Hi all!
I am a new member here, but have been reading the forum for some time. I am a snowboarder and will be making my boards this summer. I also read Grafsnowboards and between the two the amount of info is staggering.
Anyway I was looking at risers and lifters that skiers use on there ski's and was wondering how they are attached and how the bindings are attached to the lifters/risers. Are ski bindings screwed into the ski, or do they use inserts like snowboards? Since I will be making my own boards I have been thinking about making my own bindings. Some of the Olympic hardbooters were using a different type of binding that appears to have Risers/Lifters on the edges of the board instead of mounting to the center 4cm of the board.
I guess I need help understanding how the method of attachment allows the board to flex properly. Thanks in advance...
