I've been reading through the tutorials and archives and I have a question that didn't really seem to be answered:
I've set up my board and on the carpet in my living room when I am strapped in, It feels like 75-80% of my weight is on my front leg. I get quad burn just standing there after a couple of minutes. I'm a pretty competitive cyclist and I lift weights on a regular basis (I am in the Army so PT is important to me). Is this the way my weight is supposed to be distributed? I've read a couple of posts that suggest that you want to have more weight on the front leg than the rear. Is this right?
Moreover, I think what is exacerbating the problem is that I am pretty bow-legged (I'm also an Armored Cav guy so it worked out well). I have a 0* cant disk in front and a 3* cant disk in back. I was reading a thread about dealing with bow-leggedness and it suggests flipping the cant disk so that my outside edge on the back foot is lower than my inside edge. Would that help with the weight distribution problem I stated earlier?
