What angles should i set my snowboard bindings at?

Question

front and back foot

Answer 1

What type of riding do you do?  If you're more about cruising around the mountian (speed), you may want to consider more aggressive angles (like 15 Front/-5 back), or if you're more of a pipe rider or ride switch a lot you may want to consider duck stance (15/15).  Really, you want whatever feels best for you.

Answer 2

The most commonly used setup that I have seen and I happen to use myself is +15/-15.  It suits most people well.  IF you feel your stance is too open you can drop it back to +12/-12.  Everyone is different: play around with your stance to find out what suites you.  Don't forget that changing the stance width will change the feel of your stance.

Answer 3

put on the most slippery socks you own and go for a run on your linoleum, tile, or hardwood and slide.  This will let you know what angles you are comfortable with while going sideways and if you are goofy or regular.  After you have figured this out, don't forget to bring a snowboard tool with to the hill to dial that s^%t in.  Hope this helps.

Answer 4

When i bought my new bindings for my board.  The guy at the shop did it for me.  He said that personally like 12 and 12 both facing outward.  He said that he has tryed a couple different setups but this is his favorite.  I have been rideing that at that angle for about a season now and i have no problem with it.  It all comes down to personal taste.  There is no right or wrong.  So mess around with them and them found out what you persoanlly like. 12 and 12 might be a good starting point if you are completly out of ideas.  Some people i ride with like 13 outward on their leading foot and 0 on their following foot.  See that is a little less creative.  I love my setup but he loves his setup!!!!

Hope i could help..
