binding angles
In an effort to get some posts....
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. |

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

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. Sean //hasn't clocked 20 days in one year yet// |

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. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org.uk/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow.

: 52 front, 47 rear on my Coiler AM. 40 front, 35 rear on my Tanker. Neil 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.. |
