Getting your Bindings Dialed

January 23rd, 2009

Bindings can be often overlooked, yet provide features which many people dont end up using because they never knew they were there to begin with. We want to show you a few ways you can increase your comfort and performance

Its true you can adjust your bindings while off the board but a lot of the times its so much easier to just leave them on the snowboard. Ok put your heel into the binding, faster up the angle strap over the boot. The center of the strap should align with the center of the boot. If the padding is too far one way or the other undo the strap, remove it from the heel cup and refit it by using a different hole on the strap to reattach.

Check to see if your boots have a Gas Pedal or an Adjustable toe ramp, you will want to make sure it is right under your toe.

Now adjust the toe strap much like the ankle one. You want it to be centered over your foot but snug over your toes. A lot of bindings have what is known as a Capstrap which pulls the boots down but also back. Make sure the cap centers over the toe and fits over your boot.

Lastly adjust the fit of your highbacks for increased edge response. The highbacks should be flush against the back of the boot and parallel with the board edge
