Snowboarding wuestion?

Question

i have a burton punch 140 and i am 5 feet tall and 85 lbs. i am a beginner-intermediate rider. about how wide should i set my stance to?

Answer 1

There is a formula I read about that said to measure with measuring tape from your knee to the edge of your heel and then measure from shoulder to shoulder across your chest (so basically from where your shoulder meets your arm to the other) and calculate the two measurements to get the average length and that is your stance width. Tedious I know, but it is a good reference point and then adjust from there to where is the most comfortable.

Answer 2

agreed with gabitron.  it's all about what you feel comfortable with. you'll find what you like as you use it more and more.

Answer 3

I say Whatever feels more comfortable

Answer 4

theres really nothing that says what to set it too, its all about prefrance, i have mine at like 25 and -25 degrees and almost as wide as my stance can go, but just try a few and see what you like, having the same angles both feet helps for when you ride switch especially, and having to wide or too small of a stance will make ollies harder so find a perfect in between distance, and then just place your feet down and see what angles you like

Answer 5

jump off something 2 ft or more high and set your stance how you land.
