How to set up your snowboard - Snowboard Beginner

Learn how to set up your own snowboard. The great thing about snowboard bindings is that you can easily mount them by yourself, and change the bindings or their position as often as you like. Here is everything you need to know to mount a pair of bindings onto a snowboard. Estimated time: 15 minutes.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. 1. Determine Your Stance - Snowboard bindings have virtually unlimited stance options, and how you position them on the board depends on whether you are regular- or goofy-footed, what angles you like and how wide you want to set your feet apart.
2. 2. Check out the binding insert pattern on your particular snowboard. Determine which inserts most closely match your desired stance width (see picture 1). Choose inserts in the center of the row for general use; for powder
3. 3. shift both bindings back one row of holes to give the board more nose for floatation.
4. 4.Put a center disc inside each baseplate and turn it to the angle you want for each foot.
5. 5.# Usually the angle measurements are printed on the binding or the center disc.
   # Notice how the center disc has little rows of holes? This is so you can center your foot across the snowboard. Put a boot into each binding and slide the binding forward or back until the boot is centered across the board. Hold the binding in place, take the boot out and determine which hole in the row (e.g. second, middle, last) you are going to use.
   Line up the holes in the disc with the insert holes on the board.
6. 6. Grab a screw and a washer (they came with your bindings) and one-by-one hand thread the screws into the insert holes.
7. 7. Tighten all the screws down with a screwdriver .
   You can now adjust the amount of forward lean the highback provides; make sure you have a little bit, at least 10 - 15 degrees.
8. 8.Put your boots on and strap in. The straps should come together easily, and you should be able to tighten them down so your boot is snug. If you can't do these two things, make the straps longer or shorter, as necessary.
9. 9.Attach your leash -- it's required to ride the chair lift
10. 10.Jump around and pretend you're snowboarding!
