The AXE III which is intended as a GS board is not wedged as steep as the AXE I & II. For GS you want to be able to lay into your turns without the board overturning.

Sounds like you guys are on the right track. Front leads quick -- back steady follows. If you want to go for even more reaction when you can afford it -- get a set of Tracker MidTracks for the quickest turning tight slalom setup.
