FWIW, my orthopaedic/sports medicine doctor (I had some knee related issues a year or so back) warned me that they see a lot of snowboarding related injuries from riding duck footed. I'm not saying it'll happen to everyone, but just be aware that it could be a more injury prone stance. I'm just starting but am steering myself more towards freeride and >= 0 degress on the back foot just to play it safe.On the plus side, he did confirm that it's all better than skiing in term of potential for knee related injuries. :-)Daniel
