Stance - Regular or Goofy

Stance - Width and Angles

Width: Either get tech with a tape measure, or just eyeball it to find out what looks and feels best. You may need to experiment to find the stance that works best for your style of riding. If you have no idea how wide/narrow of a stance to ride, try going slightly wider than shoulder width and modify from there.

Angles: Just like your stance width, the angles of your bindings are all about personal preference and comfort. If you aren't sure, try the angles below and modify from there.

Remember, your stance is something that you can set up in 5 minutes but it may take you 5 years to perfect. There is no right or wrong, so experiment with it and find what works best for you.

Tip: When setting up your board make sure the ratchets are facing the tip and tail. Don't put your bindings on backwards.

Angles: Just like your stance width, the angles of your bindings are all about personal preference and comfort. If you aren't sure, try the angles below and modify from there.

Mounting Your Bindings

1. Remove the disk cover screw.
2. Slide the disk cover out and place to the side.
3. Place the disk into the center of the binding at your desired stance angles.
4. Align the disk with the board's inserts that you plan on using.
5. If mounting to a 4x2 or 4x4 pattern, use the 4 large Power Washers and 8 screws.If mounting to the Channel use the 4 standard washers and 4 screws.
6. Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, hand thread each screw with a washer into place.
7. Start with one full turn on each screw, then contin- ue tightening one full turn each while alternating screw to screw until all screws are equally tight.
8. Slide the disk cover to your desired setting and rethread the screw to secure.

Tech Tip

If you're having a hard time getting your screws to reach the inserts, begin by threading one screw with no washer. This will pull the binding closer to the top sheet and allow you to easily thread the remaining screws and washers. Once you have threaded the remaining screws, take out the first screw and reth- read with a washer.
