So what angles do you guys ride?

I'm in soft boots and this year bumped it up 3 degrees to 24/12
with highbacks rotated as much as it goes.

I'm probably +15, -12 or so. I couldn't get enough forward lean out of my
highbacks, so I made a wedge of plywood, painted, then coated thinly with
urethane caulk for friction, to put under the bindings, that gives me an extra
1/4" under the heels. That enable me to get more bend to my knees, allowing
better bump absorbtion on fast turns, especially on heel turns.

I usually run +15, -6. Yesterday I went boarding and decided to try
something new. I was doing a double diamond run most of the day, and
it was windy, so I wanted to be able to crouch more. I set them to
+30,+15, just to see how that worked. It made toeside turns a cinch,
and I could carve like I never imagined, but it made heelside turns
pretty awkward.

I started riding in the early 90s with pretty high angles (~ +24
front, +15 back) and have slowly wound them back and back until I now
ride duck foot with around +6 and -3

I used to have +27/+9 I think, but after a while went to +27/-3 which I
used for 3 or 4 years. These days I'm on +15/-15, which I've been using
since 2004.

I actually don't like much forward lean and have my bindings at the
minimum settings.

Rather sad this year, it looks like I won't be clocking 20 days for the
first time since '98.

I wish my knees would allow for +15/-15, but I'm forward on both, +21, +6.

I know my technique is not the greatest which probably contributes to the
knee issues with a -15 rear, AND it just feels a bit awkard.

Forward on both doesn't seem to create as much pressure on the inside rear
knee.

Well it's not really about whether the angle is positive or negative, but
mainly the difference between the 2 feet. For me a difference between the
feet of 30 degrees feels best. I could just as easily ride with +30/0 but
I like the adaptability.

You clearly prefer a 15 degree difference, so you should be able to ride
with +9/-6, if you're happy looking around further when you heel side
carve. It's not for everyone though.

ha hardbooter!

have to say I'm surprised at the large number of guys
riding a duck stance.

someone else mentioned the difference between front back
and I have to agree, anything more than about 10-12 makes
my rear knee ache.

I'm considering moving back to 21/9 today after twising
a knee when my tail got caught doing some moguls last week..
nothing like burying it vertically in a few feet of snow
as the rest of your body rotates..

to go a lot more fakie sind then.
