Should bindings be centered on snowboard?
A park rider typically sets their bindings up perfectly centered on the board, so they can ride either direction equally as well. They also tend to angle their feet the same amount so that riding switch feels the same.
How far apart should your snowboard bindings be?

Should I center my bindings?
Centering your bindings from edge to edge evenly balances your feet and body on your board, providing stability and warding off toe and heel drag.
Should I narrow my snowboard stance?
Stance Width If your stance is too wide it will be more difficult to manoeuvre the board. Imagine yourself on a snowboard with your feet really wide – it’s going to be really difficult to make any kind of sharp turn. If your stance is too narrow it is going to give the board a really loose, unstable feel.
What snowboard stance is best for Park?
Duck stance
Duck stance is ideal for park riding, but it isn’t required. If your knees or calves don’t feel comfortable in the duck stance, a flat or slightly forward stance will work. Keep a snowboard tool in your pocket whenever you’re riding so you can make binding adjustments on the fly.
