Determine Your Angles

The angles of your bindings differ depending on both personal preference as well as the type of riding you'll be doing.

Freestyle riders generally use angles between 10 and 30 degrees for their front binding
and 0 to negative 30 degrees for their back binding.

Alpine snowboarders (those that use race boards) often have more extreme angles,
from 50 to 70 degrees on both the front and back bindings.
