What do you guys have your bindings set to and what would be good for park.

I debating wether to go 0 on the back foot or go into duck with negatives. Any thoughts? I know some pro riders do duck stance and its supposedly easier to grind with that.

depends on what level you are riding at...if you want to land switch more its alot easier if your in the negatives, and it does help for balance on the rails, its usually personal preference, i have 21, -21.

the standard park stance is usually around +15,-15. if you're just starting to ride duck you may want +15,-10 until you get a little more used to it.

i got 18 -15 on the angles and 24 inches wide. personally i would rock your stance at least a little duck from the start so you get used to it cause you would prob switch eventually

i have 18 on the front, -9 in the back. 22"wide (yeah i have a wide stance for a girl)

pretty comfortable with it, and i can ride switch alright.
my advice: do what feels comfortable. if you do decide to duck your stance, don't duck it too much, because 1.that's bad style and 2. probably very uncomfortable and very bad for your legs. super wide stances are a silly trend, go for shoulder width stance.

I rock 17 in the front, -7 in the back. I find a non ducked stance really hard to jib and spin with

its about a medium flex, its butterable and what not but can still hold an edge. i havent rode to many other park boards so im not sure what to compare it to.

agendas are sick park boards. they are ride's second softest boards, which makes them perfect for almost any size jump and flexy enough for every park rail and most handrails.
