I'm a newbie

so go start some lessons? or pay someones lift ticket for the day so they can teach you. i did that and i got a good session in that day and super fun!

try skateboarding because most people are the same for snowboarding too

Switch riding will come, you just gotta work at it.  The only way to get better is by practicing.  When I first started trying to improve my switch riding, I found that my weight distribution was terrible and all on my back foot.  It was like I was dragging the snowboard with the back foot, and whenever going toe side it wouldn't work and I would catch.  I then focused on keeping my weight distribution the same as I did in my regular stance to prevent rear leg stearing and to just get proper turns.  In order to get a lot better at it, I found that for me, forcing myself to do it on steep terrain and in the trees was the best way to progress at it.  The steep lines would get me comfortable going fast switch and keeping a good edgehold as well as carve turns, while trees got me quicker in and out of turns riding switch.  Same goes with jumps, just work on doing take offs switch and landings switch.  Personally, I have a very hard time with takeoffs switch whereas landings are easier.  Just practice it and it will come to you.  I'm not at the same level switch as I am regular quite, but I probably will get there soon, given that I practice.

Originally posted by CLoSeR I wouldn't recommend riding with 0 angle front and back, its not a natural position for squatting which is what you do alot of snowboarding. When I started I had +15 front, -9 on the back. Its ok to have 0 degree angle on the back binding, but not the front.

Well. You can do whatever you want, but the reason why people don't ride 0 and 0 is because it's typically harder on your knees. You're not situated in a position that's naturally conducive to turning, so you'll end up having to exert more force in a weird way to ride that way. To each their own, but if anything starts to hurt, try something different.

doesn't matter what your angle is, if your a goofy, then l guess your a goofy, nothing wrong with that . just go play it out and see what you like 

Thanks a lot guys, @cucubing, I'm reading the post right now, thanks.

@heisenbise, that's what I was asking, if I can be goofy with my right foot at 0-degree angle and not duck style.

@marumm, I used to skate along time ago, but I don't have that problem because my right foot was not tied to the board, here my problem is that my right foot in front in duck style feels funny and after long time starts to hurts, but in regular my right foot is at 0-degree, no problem and my left foot doesn't have that issue. I know, I'm kind of strange haha but that's the behavior of my foots.

I'll try with goofy with my right foot at 0-degree, thanks a lot and will read the other post right now. Thanks

Do you skate at all?  I'm guessing no, but most people snowboard the same way they skate.

Try what cucubing said only stand one step up  from the bottom of a staircase facing down  and try it.

Hi guys, I'm a newbie in snowboarding, I started this year and I have a question for you that enjoy this sport for years. I use my bindings as regular because nobody told me anything when I started. When I took a class an instructor saw me a lot of time with my right leg in the front, so he told me that I was goofy and must try that. I went and try goofy but for some reason I can't have my right leg pointing a little to the front, I'm comfortable with my right leg perpendicular to the board, so my question here is, is there a right way to set up the bindings with the front leg perpendicular and this front leg be the right one? I'm kind of confuse here because I'm new and I don't have a lot of people to ask about it, until now because of you and this forum. Thanks a lot and sorry about my English.
