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.
