I've been riding for a couple seasons and I just recently bought the Yes Greats snowboard with Union Strata bindings. I'm wondering if i should change my stance width, angle and highback angle to better benefit what i ride? I consider myself an all mountain freestyler that likes to have fun as...

Hi guys I'm new to this forum. I recently picked up a 165w team exposure snowboard by Nitro. I have a background in wake boarding so really enjoy a twin feel but this board is a Directional twin... I set up my bindings so that it would have the same tip and tail length. I moved my rear...

Hi All, Pretty new to the forum so just looking for some ideas. I've been riding for quite a while though I'm not on the slopes all the time. I got 3-5 times a year usually. I have noticed that on my last few trips with my board I spend a lot of time on my heel and toe sides. When I used to...

HEy all I’m new to the sport although I have extensive background in skateboarding and surfing. Mostly surfing. I bought my first snowboard and am setting up the binding and know 100% a duck stance is for me. I’m very duck footed but my question is can too much of a duck stance hurt your...

Hi Guys. Firstly, I know there is loads of threads around discussing this topic but everything I read contradicts eachother. SO here goes.. I am reading that..... generally speaking, someone who is left footed would be goofy?? and someone who is right footed would be regular?? Thus, the...

So I'm from Michigan, going to college in Steamboat, CO. In Michigan, park is all there is to do, so I have a Ride Crook. Steamboat gets dumped on, so I'm looking forward to mad pow, brah. I know I should invest in a powder board, but I just can't spend that kind of money. I figure if I set my...

Hey guys, Usually I ride 23" stance width on my Burton Hate, but when I go to my friend's DC PBJ I never know what to ride, the 22"5 or the 23"5. What you guys think? It's better to go bigger half an inch or smaller half an inch? Thanks :wink:

So I got a new board the K2 Brigade 2014 a several months ago and I have been tampering with it to find the most comfortable stance. I haven't got a chance to ride it yet but I am going to this winter. I am aware that this board is set back 19mm and its has a dual progressive sidecut. And I am...

Hey everyone! I've been trying to tweak my binding angles and I haven't been able to get rid of this problem where it feels like my front is drifting left and my back tip is pushing right. Right now the angles are (+)(-) 15. Anyone know what's going on?

Hey, So i am currently riding a 21/-21 duckstance but now after i purchased a new board i saw that most of the big riders and in general all park riders are mostly not going further than 15° on each foot. My stance was recommended to me by a guy from a snowboard shop wich saw how angled out my...

Hello all, I've not been unable to ride for the past 3 years because of an ankle injury and now I'm back on the slopes and I'm not as comfortable as I used to be. 3 years ago, I was able to carve very well. Now, it's a different matter. I'm very comfortable making toeside turns but not...
