I was searching for a thread that listed what people are riding. Board stats, binding set up and a small rider profile. I figure with enough feedback, someone new to the sport, or someone looking to change things up will have a place to see what works for others. So here it goes.

DONEK Blade 180(medium flex), 14m sidecut, 23.5 waist
Bomber TD2's with 0 cant/lift, yellow(soft) rings and the Bomber suspension system.
21.5" stance, 0 setback(centered), 52 degrees front and back.
Head Stratos Pro's, size 28.
I'm 6'3", 190lbs, riding since 1988.

I rode a 20" stance about 1/2" back last season. First day out this year, it immediatly felt like my feet were too close. After seeing the stance ratio on extremecarving.com, I found a set up that I cant imagine changing. To find this, take your height in inches, and divide by 3.5. In my case, 75"/3.5=21.42. I tried 21.5, and love it. It looks really wide, but it works for me.

Equipment:
Donek FC II 175 Olympic
Catek OS 2 SI (Short Plate)
Head Stratos Pro 26's
I will be adding a BTS to the Stratos as soon as it arrives :)

Setup:
16" Stance, centered, 68deg/65deg front/rear, no lift, 2deg medial canting to offset geometry of head Stratos Pros (they seem to lean out somewhat laterally).

I believe my stance is unusually narrow, but it works for me.

Me:
5'9" ~175 lbs riding about 18 years, in plates for about ten of those. I ride fairly aggressively.

Pogo Overdose 162, softer flex
Bomber TD2s with 3 degree cant plates (canted outward, lifted inward) and purple (medium) elastomers
Deeluxe Track 325s

binding angle: 66 degrees front, 63 degrees back

I'm 5' 8", 160 pounds, ride aggressively (amplified by caffeine and hard rock) and have been riding for 6 years or so, hardbooting for my third.

Old:
Lib Tech Inner-Course Asym, Burton Variflex binders, whatever angles I could get :eplus2:

Newer:
Madd 170, TD2, Purple rings, 3 deg front, 6 deg rear inward cants, 65/65 angles, centered stance...(Haven't measured it - I'd guess about 20")

Newest:
Coiler 176 EX, TD2, yellow rings, flat front, 3 deg rear cant, 60 deg front, 57 deg rear, starting out centered stance, but I haven't ridden it yet so that may change.

Boots: Head Stratos Pro (Black) 27.5

Personal: 6', 220lbs, riding for 26 years, hardboots on and off for 19, a little less agressive than I used to be, but I still go pretty fast :D
