Thank you. So happy to hear! Well I like the whys and how’s I find it really important. I think if you understand you’re more likely to implement and remember.
Sure; in fact I got one now😅 so I usually set up my board in a goofy riding orientation but when I ride I realize I comfortably ride down slope as a regular. So my question is does board orientation really matter?
@@macarioswilliam219 haha that happens - and again, better late than never. Believe it or not I just heard from 2 people that discovered that after years of riding, and only realized once they decided to learn riding switch. Anyway, if you feel your natural stance is regular that set up as regular. that will affect your bindings positions and location on the board. If your board is true twin (ie identical on both tips) then it doesn't matter, but if it's directional than it has a front and back which will mean your front foot, whichever it is, has to be on the front side of the board. As for the bindings, after a lot of research I found that you don't want your total binding angle to pass 27. So although many ride +15-15, it's considered somewhat bad for your knees. As you progress you will find different angles for different boards or different riding (all mountain, vs park etc). I ride +15-12 at the park, so close to perfect duck stance, and freestyle on mountain i ride +18-9. For carving i go posi-posi at +39+27 which is a completely different world. So you see, you need to know which is your front foot to you can adjust your bindings accordingly. I suggest, if you go regular, start with +15 front foot (so now that would be your left) and -12 for the back foot, and then try different things once you got your turns solid. I will mention that since you rode goofy until now, that's great!!! continue and practice your switch riding, in which you can do regardless if your angles are +15-12 or +18-9 or whatever. Phew, does that make sense?
@@ITSDELIRIUM I love my SO, been on it for 2 years and would never go back to straps. it's fast, convenient, and saves me lots of time. I literally don't stop for a sec. Last season i was in Colorado in fairly deep powder (snowed 3 ft there especially for me :) and it was delightful. Zero issues - it's highly responsive which is important for me as I love speed and carving low. What is your concern with trees?

You really explain everything so well. I've watched so many bigger channels and you by far explain the whys and hows best, most people skip that part.
Thank you. So happy to hear!

Years later found the video and helped me a lot I go down the slope with greater confidence thanks for laid out instructions
Absolutely! Better late than never 😂 keep going, and feel free to reach out with questions
