When I rode this weekend about 2 out 3 W2W jumps the tail of my board would slide out in to a butter slide, when I landed the jump I felt like was going to ride away like normal then the board would want to slide out. I have never had this problem before. I just got new bindings rode them 2 times both times I didn't feel real comfy on the board is it possible that my bindings are positioned to far forward, I tried to put them in the same position as my old ones. My take off's felt normal I was getting good height and I was landing but I didn't feel like I had and control riding away.

You are probably landing too flat- try to land more on an edge, it will help the board to lock in.

Yes try to land on edge more and after a few times you will get used to your new bindings and start ripping again.

also make sure that you have your boots on your board correctly

blind5, I guess thats what I'm asking I feel I'm riding to front foot heavy so I thought about shifting both bingings back 1 notch because I really don't want to change my width, but I wasn't sure about doing that because when I ride switch I figured I'd be in the same boat.
