Positioning the feet on a snowboard

Post by mirekd » Tuesday 19 April 2011, 8:16

Hi
Most popular snowboards (SL/GS) has an offset of 1.5-4 cm.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to correct the offset by moving the binding forward?
2. Can it be beneficial to the setting other than those recommended (basic) by the manufacturer?

Currently I have to learn the board Burton Ultra Prime 168 (11.92 m radius, waist width 201, setback 1.5 cm).

What will be the result of displacement binding (front only) to the front, for example, about 2.5 cm?
Is will be easier or more difficult ride on a board?

Can I know the general opinion on this board?

I greet,

Ps. Questions apply only to boards with offset. The decision to buy Swoard has already been taken.
