Lean?

[gerard]

What's everyone's lean like on the bindings?

[SnoChick]

Just a bit of forward lean (2nd notch, I think) for pipe and freeride (except powder days, then it's neutral). Neutral for park.

[burnpianoxisland]

Yeah I ride with a lil forward lean, just two notches on the front and 3 in the back.

[bobdea]

when freeriding I crank em
spinning allot I have them a little less but still more than most people
powder I use like the second notch in the front and have the rear cranked

on on the race stick(hardboots) I have the rear boot way forward and the front I have usually in the middle
in soft snow I put the boots in freeflex with the dial to the side so it stops at the third hole when I lean back

[no7ah]

Don't have a lean but i'm dropping $1330 on gear this summer

[bobdea]

YOU GOT lean!
if you have bindings!

[no7ah]

i mean i don't set it to anything

[RideLsDh]

I ride 9* in my front leg and 6* in the back riding pipe and 0* on both when in the park.

[SpottyFish]

I crank it usually, I like forward lean.

I have mine at 18 degrees, I believe.

[DPancoast]

i have no idea

[thedude]

i dunno what the degree measurement is on burton bindings set up, but i have both set to the 4th notch setting for everything. from the park to rippign down a black diamond to jibbing, always 4th

[Proximate Platypus]

Mine are always leaned forward 2 or 3 notches. It helps.

you can't mean that, kelly? seems really high.

i'm just a few notches forward. front and back.

[kelly]

It's not THAT high... a few notches go pretty far - on my bindings each notch is like 6 degrees I think.

[palidon11]

forward lean equals awesomeness

[DPancoast]

Ok Im like way lost in this thread. What is the benefit of lean? And second...Im not sure if I can adjust it?

[Proximate Platypus]

Forward lean makes you bend your knees more, so you can pop better, turn/carve better... But I've heard it's not so good for rails.
On the back of your highback there should be a little lever (the green thing in the picture) which is actually a screw... pull the lever down, and then unscrew it until the thing behind it is loose. If you move that thing down, your highbacks will have more lean, and if you move it up, they will have less. Then, tighten the screw, pull the lever back up, and go shredding...!

D- you may not be able to adjust it. not all bindings have adjustable highbacks. but, like with everything else about riding, it's a matter of personal preference. if yours are adjustable, just try different settings and see if you can notice the diff.

[DPancoast]

Alright thanks guys. I think my bindings are adjustable. I don't have my bindings in front of me so I'll have to see when I get home. But yeah, I'll check it out.

[FJB_Timeless]

I have mine on just the first notch.. I think around 6 degrees.... It's made a huge difference.. quicker from edge to edge... a little more leverage... And it's not too much for me to where my quads are burning all the time!

[SimonInAustralia]

As far forward as I can handle without too much pain.

Interesting Post.... I've never messed with the lean, but I'll try 2 notches up and see how that goes.
