New Angles on Board

I tried a new setup lately. Instead of degree angles of 0 and 24, I went with 0 and 15. That is, I decreased the forward lean of my front foot by one-third.

Why? I was told it would make riding switch easier. I’m not sure about that. It took me a while to get used to the new arrangement–and that was just in riding forward. I did not spend much time riding switch.

Body size, riding ability, and experience vary greatly across riders, so there’s probably no such thing as the “perfect” stance for all. But some experimentation from time to time might be useful.
