the Wildman wants his stance so wide he should split his pants. So he's looking for grom pants that go way dowwwnnn looowwww. And a bigger board to get the wider stance.

What degrees front and rear? I've finally decided on a stance that works for me.

I hit everything, med jumps to rails to deep POW
Ride Hazok 156 (all mountain)
Stance 22"
Fairly ballanced, I move it back about 1" if I know i'm doing a day in deep pow.
Front 18deg / rear 12deg

One of the most important questions should have been how many have bothered to rotate the high backs so they are closer to parallel with the heel side edge, and even more importantly how many have adjusted the high back forward lean so it stays in contact with your boot when your knees are well bent as they should be in a heel side turn, more than 50% of riders haven't and it certainly shows in their riding style.

1: only minor tweaking now
2: like a bit of everything but mostly freeride
3: 2x directional
4: around 22 inches give or take smalls
5: board 1 is centered , board 2 is offset 2 inches back
6:bindings are centered
7: anywhere from +18 to -6 depends on what i am riding , plus one notch of forward lean
8: and for Paul , my highbacks are rotated

I ride a bit of everything
centered on the board
23.5" wide
front+18 rear -15
rotate the high backs on the missions
don't use any forward lean as my healside turn is strong enough
shift out the toe ramps on the bindings so as to have great toe edge pressure
de-tune the tip and tail on all my boards to stop that edge grab feel in spins

How much do you tweak your stance?
?

What riding style?
Park and all mountain...about 50/50

What sort of board (twin/directional)?
Twin

How far apart?
Somewhere around 22"

How far from tip/tail?
Centered

Binding Plate Micro Adjustment (toe/heel edge)?
Can't remember the specific adjustment...but it's so my boots are centered. I also shift out the toe ramps a notch to support my boot. Like Chris Y said it give easier/more toe edge pressure.

What degrees front and rear?
+15/-12
