Snowboard binding setup
Hey,
I've just bought my first snowboard and a pair of bindings, I need to obviously attach these to each other. Any one point me to a website or offer advice to the various ways of doing this. i.e. how far from the tip should the front boot be etc etc. Cheers Tony |

You could try this: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~daan/snow/stance.html oooh looks handy. Gonna use that for my stance on my new board. The stance on my current board is still about what they set it in the shop (only changed the angle of my back-foot) |

The stance on my current board is still about what they set it in the shop (only changed the angle of my back-foot) In my second season I started to sort of "listen" to symptoms on the slopes and I managed to work out a good set-up just by feel. Some things were more obvious; pain in calf muscle solved by allowing back of bindings to go back more. Weight distribution is a key one. My board's a bit long so I simply moved my stance forward and it felt fine. You gradually get a feel for the physics of a board almost by instinct. Enjoy! |

All boards have a centered stance that is usually marked o the board. Start with that and go from there. yeah, there's also a 4x2 bolt pattern (one for each binding) on most every board. if you start by placing the binding in the middle four holes on each, you will be centered over the board. eventually he may want to move his feet slightly back or farther apart, depending on the type of riding. also I tend to let beginners know, if you set the front foot to about 15 degrees and rear foot to 5-10 degrees (whatever is comfortable), then that's a good starting point. good luck to OP bri -- * enjoying the karma * remove LKJSDFJSD from address to email |

Bear in mind everyone's different though. I ride a board technicallya bit too long for me, and with very slightly ducked stance, but it suits me fine and I ride it with ease. So you might find a few tweaks either side of the theoretical norm works for you. Tom I'd say that's the no. 1 thing to remember. In fact I'd go further than a few tweaks. In the group I go boarding with we all have completely different setups. One of my mates rides a symmetric duck stance, another almost alpine. We all do pretty much the same things but it's just what is most comfortable and gives you most control. I hate it when kids tell me they have this or that angle because that's how their particular snowboarding idol does it. Jay. |
