|
|
So I've been snowboarding three times now... First time was during last March. I picked it up really quickly. Anyways I'm trying to figure out the best way to set my bindings. I'd like to have them set in a way thats suitable for both regular and switch. At the moment their set with the front one ducked out at around 15 degrees and the back binding ducked towards the rear about 5 degrees. They're both set a bit back on the board for regular. I like to do a lot of free riding but just recently when I went last I spent most of my time at the terrain parks. Any suggestions? |

It sounds like you have it set fine, the only suggestion I'd have is to play around with the settings. Try ducking it more, ducking it less and then remember the greatest rider of all time rides at 21 and 6 (not ducked). In short it's all personal preference. _________________

Check out this site - it has everything you need to know about setting your stance:

BTW, your set-up looks fine to me. I ride +21/-9 @ 21.5.
