What is the Advantages/Disadvantages of a short vs wide stance?

One big benifit of a wider stance is Balance, the wider your stance the more balence to will have. However to wide and you will be uncomfortable, so go the widest stance that still feels comfortable and natural.

wide stance dude.. as wide as u can posssible go.. helps yor riding you will rider better, easier to pop, land, ride in general and you make a better style for yourself (you look better)

wide birth

the wider the stance the slower your rotations become so keep that in mind. but in general a wide stance really helps wen you load and pop as well as giving you a stable landing platform. im fairly average or slightly above average height n i ride bindings n with my stance i have it set on the widest on the board but narrowest on the boot so its just a bit wider then widest strap setting on normal boards.

just go jump off a chair or table and land with ur feet spread.. that distance is the distance ur stance should be. take note of how ducked ur feet are aswel.

Go wider. But if you have bad knees and ankles as i do, you might wanna be careful on how wide you go.
