xsport652 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I know there are some on this forum that like me are still riding a soft boot/binding set up. What are the soft carvers on here riding and what is your stance. Right now I am on a K2 Recon Riser 161 board Salomon F24 boots Ride CAD bindings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Prior ATV 161 Vans Fargo Burton Cartels w/burton risers (angles: ~36/30 +/- a few degrees on each foot) stance: is around ~21-22 inches. the bindings need upgrading, although i doubt i'll be touching my softboot setup at all this up coming season. you should also try using the search function, there are a number of softboot threads.

Mike T Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Donek Wide 161 Salomon SP6 bindings Salomon Malamutes 19.25" stance width, 24/15 angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtslalom Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 This season I will be on a 168 Ride Timeless. Back binding angle 45 deg and the front 43 deg. My stance is about 21" on center. Coming from a purely hard boot back ground (with exception to the first 2 - 3 years riding) it is very hard to get away from steep angles. Last year I rode a K2 FatBob with about the same angles. Most people thought I was riding hard bindings because of such steep angles for soft bindings. I would not go to far beyond the 45 deg mark because you will be flexing more against the side of your boot than toe to heel. You might as well be in hard boots then.
