Wider is better IMO. If you're comfortable riding that wide then I wouldn't worry about it. I usually ride 1 hole in on each side, but it differs from person to person.

| I'm 6'0" 175 and I keep my bindings all the way out. Most people I know keep theirs all the way out. Leave it like you have it. |

They do look a little wide to me but if it's comfortable for you then go for it.
I do however think that it is important that your knees are over your toes when you bend them. This is the way the structure of your body has the best support. So if you're going to use a wide stance you may need to duck your bindings more.

Thank you all for your comments. I do feel that I am standing a bit too wide.
I think I am going to go one hole less. |

stop letting go with your front hand when you jump. keep that front hand on the handle, and you'll find yourself in a lot better control, at least until you learn how to lean on the line for front hand grabs, like nose, melan, or methods.

Yes, you are right!!! I was trying to see why some times I let go of the wrong hand I get out of control... I am goin to try keeping my hands as long as possible on the handle. Thanks for your advise!!!!  |
