steven Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 being fairly new here, and to new gear after a 15 year hardboot hiatus, I was wonder about what stances people run. I have always used a high angle, narrow-stance tuck knee kind of thing on both soft and hard setups since I started in early 90's. I currently am about 18.5-19 on my softboot setups, and 17.75 on my hardboot setup, which is a Coiler nirvana energy 169 and td3's (standard) at 57/48. I plan on adding more hardboot setups to my quiver down the road once I figure out what works for me and what I like. What stance widths do some of you run, and what do you see beneficial about narrower or wider stances? thx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.a Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 The real question is a narrower or wider stance from what reference. http://www.alpinecarving.com/binding_setup.html I averaged the mid kneepoint distance with the .607 inseam and played around with that to arrive at my own 'golden number'.

H2O Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Height (cm) x 0,275 I am 174 cm and my stance is 47,5-48 cm Bindings .... front and rear FLAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertAlexander Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 6'-1" , long legs sort of, 175cm board, 20.5" to 21" stance, 3 deg front toe lift, 3 deg rear heal lift, Zero (flat) inward/outward. Can go to 16"/17" stance, Zero front angle/ 3 deg rear angle, 3deg toe/3deg heel, Zero inward/outward, on a skwal , and that is completely different, but stick with it and you get used to it and enjoy it.

steven Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) thx for the info Jim and others. Good info on other thread as well. I am enjoying tweaking my stance out on the slopes and noticing even very small changes. Would you consider heel/toe lift that is set at the same angle as my bindings/stance, cant?

SunSurfer Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Lift tilts a binding around its' short axis. Cant tilts a binding around its' long axis. If the slope of the disc and the long axis of the binding plate on your TD3s are aligned only lift is produced. If the slope of the disc and the long axis of the binding plate are at 90 degrees to each other only canting is produced. In between a wide range of combinations of both cant and lift are produced.

Erik J Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I like a wider stance for fore/aft weighting and a stable feeling base under me. It allows my lanky ass to stay low comfortably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
