[old school question]

Why do they say that a narrow stance is old school? I use a stance width of 16.5 and I saw they now suggest wider . what is the advantage of a 19" or higher stance with hard boots. I find it easier to turn fast and keep my knees together with a narrow stance.

In "How to set up your board" he states:

"Don't be afraid to go wide; the days of 16" or 17" stances for average height riders are long gone."

Sounds good to me. How do we procede. I emailed you some of my info

I don't know? I love the board but I can't use it in the trees and bumps. I can't turn it quick enough. I'm afraid if I sell it I won't be able to get another this season. What do you think its worth?

I recently bought this board. It is the best carving board I have ever owned after 15 years of snowboarding. I just wish I had a board that was a bit shorter like 167 or 172.

Does anyone have a shorter Donek Axis or similar that they might like to trade. The 182 has unbelievable stability and hold.
