anywhere around shoulder width apart, weight centred for the most part. if you're not huge into rails yet, i bet you're probably falling back or leaning forward and catching edge... so file edges down a lot and try keeping your weight centred and don't be afraid of catching.

who has ever caught their edges, i havn't. Wider stance means more stable, i keep low, gives nice style too i think
