Diggin in MN Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I was searching for a thread that listed what people are riding. Board stats, binding set up and a small rider profile. I figure with enough feedback, someone new to the sport, or someone looking to change things up will have a place to see what works for others. So here it goes. DONEK Blade 180(medium flex), 14m sidecut, 23.5 waist Bomber TD2's with 0 cant/lift, yellow(soft) rings and the Bomber suspension system. 21.5" stance, 0 setback(centered), 52 degrees front and back. Head Stratos Pro's, size 28. I'm 6'3", 190lbs, riding since 1988. I rode a 20" stance about 1/2" back last season. First day out this year, it immediatly felt like my feet were too close. After seeing the stance ratio on extremecarving.com, I found a set up that I cant imagine changing. To find this, take your height in inches, and divide by 3.5. In my case, 75"/3.5=21.42. I tried 21.5, and love it. It looks really wide, but it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queequeg Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Equipment: Donek FC II 175 Olympic Catek OS 2 SI (Short Plate) Head Stratos Pro 26's I will be adding a BTS to the Stratos as soon as it arrives :) Setup: 16" Stance, centered, 68deg/65deg front/rear, no lift, 2deg medial canting to offset geometry of head Stratos Pros (they seem to lean out somewhat laterally). I believe my stance is unusually narrow, but it works for me. Me: 5'9" ~175 lbs riding about 18 years, in plates for about ten of those. I ride fairly aggressively.
