hello,
i am trying to figure out what to tweak, to get perfect balance while
jumping. For some reason when i jump (im goofy) my rear foot starts
coming
to the front making me land out of balance with the board not
straight,
but tilted sideways a little.

i've been boarding for 9 years and feel comfortable getting down any
slope, but i feel the need to always carve.. whenever i ride flat
forward,
seems like my rear foot tries to go forward putting me off balance.
this
becomes a lot more obvious when i hit a jump. seems like my body is
trying
to straighten it self to face forward instead of sideways...

i am thinking maybe its my bindings angle.. currently they're at a
small
outward angle \ * / .. evenly distributed at about 10 on the little
dial.

You should always feel comfortable where you're feet are angled with
your bindings, if you've been riding for 9 years it'll feel weird if
you change the angles.
You will be turning in the air because of your upper body position. If
you rotate your shoulders forward your lower body will follow (natural
law of body physics). Try to keep them still when jumping and your
legs will stay still too. Better yet, bend your knees up to your
chest, grab tindy and you wont be landing 90 to scorpion in no time.
If that still gives you trouble get a lesson, instructors know best.
I've been riding 15+ years and I still get lessons to iron out the
kinks check out http://snowboardlesson.blogspot.com for more tips
