We're going to tighten it to the extent of where it doesn't tighten any more. This is your toe strap. It may seem that your; just doesn't fit directly on your toe, but it may fit up here. So, whatever feels most comfortable to you. You can just tighten that down. Tighten it down pretty firm.

So, pull your snowboard pant down and you'll be on your way."
