Ya might want to duck the bindings out some

should i just put them at no angle?

I looks to me, that yours point straight out to the side of the board?

In that picture, I'd have the toes point more to 7 & 11 oclock (like duck feet)

If they're already ducked out, then you're set

See how I've got mine ducked out?

Jump up (no board, just do it now in your house) - as high as you can......when you land, take a look at your feet position - now put your bindings like that.

is ducked out better for riding than it is just to ride straight

mine is straight and i have no problem.

beasoldierprstn, normally its all preference, but most just prefer ducked out because its a more comfortable position and offer more stability for them. If you like it at no angle then dont fix it if it aint broke.

i ride with my back foot straight out and my front foot a little bit duck...

aloharodeo · Posted: Aug 06, 2004 8:57 pm Post subject:

it's really best to duck them equally, that way it's the same when you ride switch.

HyPeDwAkE · Posted: Aug 06, 2004 9:02 pm Post subject:

I can ride switch though... I have weird feet... I ride left foot forward and there is something wrong with my right ankle that I can stay really balanced... It all works out while I'm a beginner, it'll have to change later but I am just getting used to it right now...
