All mountain (donek Ax.167) Setup

[Ernie00]

I want to take out the Ax tomorrow and I was setting up the binding on it. Just realized after 5 years of Harbooting I never used an all mountain. So what kind if Angles / stance do people run usually ?

Thanks

A good rule of thumb on angles is to avoid overhang. What I mean is set up your binding/boots so the toes and heels are over the edges. On my fcII I run somewhere around 55to 60 and when I had an Axis it was 50 to 55. Also I would establish a regular stance width 19.5 to 21.5 or so, I set up centered on the board just my .02

I usually ride about 10-12 degrees difference between the feet, and go as low an angle as the board allows to avoid toe/heel drag. with a lower angle on an allmountain there's a little more adjustment ability responding to offpiste variability.Take a pocket driver and make onslope adjustments to dail in your comfort zone:biggthump

Agreed. I normally ride 65/55 and ride my Axxess 55/45.

I run 45/40 on my AM, similar waist to the Axxess. I run size 27.5 Raichles and don't understand why everyone goes so steep on these boards.

I normally ride 65-60 on my freecarve board and when I tried an AM board last year, my angle were something like 50-45 (I don't remember) and I found out I really had to change my carving technique to get it to carve. I didn't like that and sold it, but you may like it (lots of people do). I don't know how it would work with higher angles and underhang though.

55/50 with a bit of underhang or 50/45 on 4WD and similar boards, with 25.5 to 26.5 boots.

Agreed. All of my boards have different waist width; therefore, I run different bindings angles on each of the boards. I run the lowest angle I can without having any overhang. Maximum pressure on the edge is a good thing! ;)

Got the thing out today .. fun board to ride! Really happy with it. Went 54-48 and 21.5 stance. I was surprised on the hold it had on ice.

It works great for me! I teach on a freeride board with a 25.2 waist with 21 1/2" stance and 50f 50r angles.The dial-in comes by shifting the rear binding more toward the toe edge and the front binding more toward the heel edge by about a centimeter.I found that the root of some lower leg problems I was having was all the leverage it took to overcome the high amount of underhang I had combined with lower angles.I jump alot and do some funky ground tricks onto and off of the tail and the years of doing that have caught up with me a bit.The higher angles and the shift of front toward heel and rear toward toe,combined with angles that are now more forward has seemingly aleviated the extreme lateral pressure I was putting on my knees.I discovered this fix (for me anyway)while demoing(word?)narrow carving boards at OES last year.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.
