Posted: Aug 27, 2008 12:33 pm Post subject: What is the best placement for the boots on the board? |
|
|
I ride goofy foot. My back boot (left leg) is pretty much straight across, aka perpendicular to the board. However, I placed the front boot (right leg) at a little bit of an angle to where it points toward the front of the board just a bit. Does this make any sense? ha
Any suggestions as to the best possible placement for the boots? I would say that I am an intermediate rider.. Thanks! |

| If you ride switch a lot or if you do spin tricks, a little duck-foot is really helpful. I have my bindings at equal angles and I like it much better for spins and all around riding than my old foot placement (almost the same as yours). If you don't know what duck-foot is, its where your toes are closer to the nose and tail than your heels are. Just ride whatever feels comfortable. |

| All the way out (if it feels right to you) and angle them however feels comfortable. |

| I've been told to jump in the air and just see how you come down. Wherever your feet are, are how the bindings should be. |
