After about 5minutes of boardin my feet cramp up so bad its unbearable, I've tried heaps of different stances but can't shake it, Does any one know what causes it, I have LF Ultra's, I'm hoping switching to Alpha'a or Transits will stop my feet cramping!!

your feet will get used to it. Try loosening your bindings too. I have ultra's. They hurt my feet too.

Brad - Sit in a hot tub with the bindings on your feet for about 15-20 minutes. The bindings will mold (somewhat) to your feet. If this doesn't work, heat a big pot of water up to about 150 degrees, drop them in for 5 minutes... then slide in.

I did this with my Super Suctions back in the day and it worked perfectly, didn't stretch them out like I thought it would...and no more foot cramping.

(you might want to pull the boots out of the 150 degree water before you slip your foot in, though!)

you can get cramps from a lack of potassium. Eat a banana, kiwi or vitamin suplement.
