Palmer Platinum Le Snowboard ?
Question:Does anyone think that these ae really worth the money they sell for $ 1,900 ( £1,100) which is double the price of most other top end boards. Im sure that they are very good but can any board really be worth that much?. People on this site often say Burton are too expensive but surely Palmer are worst then they are?.
Answers:
For your average everyday rider.no, they aren't worth it. But the Platinum LE is worth every penny if you race boardercross, which is what that board is for. It is one of the lightest, most damp boards I have ever ridden and the response and edge hold is amazing. It's definitely not the board for the casual weekend warrior type and it's a bit too expensive to really risk freeriding with but for a racer, it's the best thing going right now.
When people say that companies like Burton are too expensive you have to take a look at who is saying that. I ride pretty much everyday and I need a board that performs well in all conditions. To me, a board that costs $800 to $1000 is totally worth it. I can easily tell the difference between a $500 Burton Custom and a $900 T6 and I tell you, the difference is huge. That's not to say the Custom or any other board that is less expensive is bad but they just aren't as good as some of the higher priced boards. That said, just because a board is expensive doesn't mean it's right for everyone. The T6 that I ride is probably too much board for the average rider, it just wouldn't be fun to ride. And on the flip side, the $1000 Burton Vapor doesn't ride the way I like. I prefer the Custom to the Vapor.
When buying a board, look at the board and not the price tag. Yes, there are expensive boards out there but there is a reason for it and it's not just a company wanting to charge more money for them. The Platinum LE, for example, is hand built and uses carbon fiber in place of fiber glass, this process costs more money and takes more time than it does for an average board.
Can general public beside flat foot Ice Skate, in need any aching?
Answers:
i know some girls with flat foot who skate fine... the only point youre gonna want to do is get proper insoles for your skates to produce things more comfortable for you! you can also try heat molding you skate to your foot, which could help rather... i dont know how serious you plan on being but perchance take a trip to your local skate shop and see what they can do for you... but unambiguously insole= key...perfect luck!
Absolutely, ice skates don't grant the use of the arch, its all surrounded by the ankles and knees. the way the skates are molded keep the base of the foot stable and not flexible approaching shoes or sneakers
If you are feeling cramp, see if you are grabbing beside your toes, this coul dbe the problem. Grabbing with your toes in actual fact doesn't help your stability...
I have flat foot and I skate. sometimes my foot cramps but it doesnt hurt too bad.
so, simply yes, you can.
Definitely. My friend has flat foot too and he skates.
it will hurt for a while
