I do not like spoilers. I find it better to re-centre with the pull back prior to transition. Isn't it better to have a full range of movement fore and aft that you can use rather than being forward all the time?

JB I can understand why you might use spoilers but I do wonder about people with normal femur length ratio.

Yes for most normal sized people too much forward lean is problematic. Harald has been saying this for years this is why he dislikes certain boot brands that have historically had too much forward lean. Still for people with very long femurs in relation to their calf length, spoilers and heel lifts help a lot.

The need for spoilers depends on the skier. I like to use them when running SL gates.
