 |
|
i set my binding the way i wanted them so they were most comfertable. but them when i do a 180 so i ride switch its hard to ride b/c the binding are all twisted, this make it hard to ride goofy. should i just set them in th middle.

| what do you mean the bindings are all twisted, they should be the same way, just with a different foot foward....did you put them in the exact same position for each bindings, or are they each in a different position or something? thats all i can think of for why it is "twisted" when your riding switch |

| ya i figured that, i knew that they werent acually twisted, but thats weird, it just may feel wrong and uncompfortable becuase your not used to it, it may not be the bindings, but be the way your standing and stuff, i dont know, i know when i try and edge swtch and stuff, i bend over, and look funny, and it feels uncompfortable, but i knows its because im not good at it yet, and just need practice switch, thats the only logical reason i can think, of, sorry if i was no help |

Be careful with duck footed - it's stressful on the knees - once you mastered the 180's give up the duck

go ducked a little (5-10 degrees) but set all the way out it will help a ton for control on landing, leverage, spins, and grabs. atleast it has for me.

| Mine are ducked with my back foot just 1-2 degrees less then my front but I have my bindings as wide as they go. And I am not very tall or heavy, 5'10 145lbs. It is just more comforable for me because that is the way I snowboard. |

| I ride with the same degree on both bindings, so i can ride switch just as good. I also ride with a wider stance. |
