Binding Setup

[modifiede30]

A while back I had found a good reference source for binding setup - stance, being the one that was always the hardest for me to figure out. Once I got the stance, I usually set the binding cant/angles to what was most comfortable given the need to avoid overhanging the edges.

Anyone have a reference? I read through the carver's almanac and it was close but not what I had found previously.

Any help finding any additional reference points would be helpful.

I forget where the thread is on bomber, because I know I've seen it. I use this one: http://www.extremecarving.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1025 you have to do a little "interpreting" but the principles are all there. Hopefully someone can find the bomber thread.

Personally, my comfortable stance can change based on a number of factors, including snow conditions, any cross training (or lack of training) I did in the off season, liners packing out, board size/sidecut/flexibility, the slope I'm riding, how hard I'm charging - lots of different things. Since I take my bindings off the board when I wax, my stance and angles are never "exactly" the same when I put them back on. One thing I've learned is that living room comfort is not always an indicator of slope comfort.

lack of commas can create confusion!

For stance width some people use:

shoulder width

inseam x .607 (Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man)

distance from knee cap to floor
