Can any bindings go on any board?
The discs on normal Burton bindings are made to accommodate this, and therefore Burton disc bindings (non EST) from any year are the ideal match for any board with a 3-D Pattern. This means that those Burton disc bindings you picked up from a few years back will still work with any new Burton 3-D board.
Where should your bindings be?
If you want to set up your snowboard bindings correctly, your stance on a snowboard should be about shoulder width, with approximately 15 degrees of angle on your front binding and around 0 degrees in the back. Experiment and find what’s most comfortable for you, in the end it’s individual preference.
What flex should my bindings be?
The flex of your snowboard bindings should be appropriate to your ability level and the terrain you ride. It should also match the flex in your boots. Flex levels of bindings vary based on your skill level and preferred terrain. Most riders choose soft to medium flex, while racers choose stiff flex.
How far should boots hang over bindings?
1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of boot overhang for both toe and heel is ideal, and will not create problematic toe or heel drag. Remember that boots typically add 1/2 at both the toe and heel to your foot measurement from above, due to padding, insulation and the outer boot materials.
How far apart should my bindings be?
A good starting point is to set your bindings at about the same distance as your shoulder width. Measure yourself from one shoulder to the other (or get a friend to help) and that will give you a starting width. You’ll want to try it out on the hill and see how it feels.
Are stiffer snowboards better?
Generally, stiffer boards offer increased edge grip and faster response at high speeds. This makes them the favourite of riders looking to change grooves or big powder lines.
Do snowboards get more flexible over time?
The more you ride, the more flexible the board becomes. Longer, firmer boards are less flexible than shorter boards because they are for heavier people, but you can break them in just the same and end up with similar flexibility as a shorter board if you board enough. Buy a softer board.
