Snowboarding Bindings

I had mine in the duck stance and after a while of riding my feet,ankles,and calfs really started to hurt. Then i switched them to both goin straight and no prob. How do you guys have them?

I’m regular footed and I ride a 21 inch stance with my front foot at 27 degrees and my rear at -6 degrees.

I have this bow-legged style of riding and the duck stance helps as it allows for my knees to bend more comfortably. I like the big angle on the front foot as it helps me really drive my turns, is quicker edge to edge and leads into spinning easier, I think. Even with this angle I can ride switch very, very well. In fact, when I’m riding switch if you didn’t look at my board or feet you’d think I was goofy foot.

In the twenty years I’ve been riding I have ridden a lot of different stances. From the one stance choice of 14 inches on my first board (a Barfoot 151 twin tip Freestyle) to the 27 inch 0-0 stance of my old Avalanche 147 Road Trip to the 11 inch 64-68 (yep, I rode a bigger angle on my back foot, call me crazy) of my race boards. I think I’ve ridden almost every stance option out there.

Good question.

   I ride regular, and I like my front foot to be almost straight like at -3 or -5, then I like my back foot at -10 or -12.
