I have 15 front and 0 back. Mucho nice for powder.

Actually, someone told me once that a 0 on my Rossignol bindings is actually about a 3 compared to most other brands.

I think I'm gonna bring my front foot in a bit pretty soon. Don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe 12.

I am +15 in the front 6 in the back. I set my front bindings back 1 notch on my powder board for a better float in powder.

Burton Fish160! Enough said!

But on the real, for all you non-Fish riders...you want more nose and less tail when riding powder, so set your stance back and keep the same stance width. Try it out and see how your legs feel. Then you can play with the width. You can try a little narrower or wider by moving your front binding around, but always keep more nose. If all that dosn't work, buy a longer board or a Fish. But for most you should have any problems riding a 156 in powder, depending on you size, with your stance all the way in the back seat.

As far as angles go I don't really change mine for powder or park. But I ride about 15-18f and from 0-6r. I have no problems riding switch at these angles or riding powder. It's more about what feels good for you, and your riding style, with angles. So I guess if you are mainly a park rider and you ride someting like 15/-15 then yes, you may want to change your back leg to 0-6 deg.

yeah, i usually go 15 to 18 up front with about 3 less in back, of course for the swizzle.

for the p0w, I'll either set it back a notch or two, or get ready for a fatty cramp in my right quad. (i'm regular footed)

what boards are you guys riding and how do you like them? i've got a size 14 foot which basically f*cks me, but the K2 trucker i've been riding for the last 5 years or so has done me right. i'd like to hear a review of the fish lance if you've got time.

i'll be picking up a new board at the end of this season, and i'm wondering what you guys think about a nice board that'll do freestyle (kickers and rails) as well as all mountain (trees, pow, cliffs, rocks) with the preference leaning slightly toward park and manueverability. i'm thinking anywhere between a 163 and 168, and it's gotta be wide. i'm 6'4" and 210 if that helps.

oh yeah, back to the topic... what the hell was it anyways
