Forward Lean - Snowboarding Forum

This maybe a dumb question. But what is the forward lean adjustment for on my bindings? Basically, when would I adjust it forward or backward?

I'm no expert, but the most basic answer might be the more/quicker heelside response you want, the more forward lean you'd dial in. Powder/freeriders usually use more of it because, among other things, it allows heelside turns with much less effort. Park riders might want less to zero forward lean for a looser/more tweakable shred
