Snowboarding Bindings

Burton men’s snowboard bindings are designed specifically for men, with a longer foot on the base plate, a deeper heel cup and a wider boot area. Buy Burton bindings specifically for men’s snowboarding boots, which will have a taller high back, with advice from an experienced snowboarder in this free video on Burton Snowboarding Equipment.

Early March 2009

Los Badicales join forces with Powder Mountain Catskiing (http://powdermountaincatskiing.com ) once more for 3 days of unforgettable powder.
Not far from Whistler Blackcomb, BC, Canada in the Coast Mountain backcountry.

Big thanks to all of the PMC crew including Gordon, Don, and Ken; Our guides Nick, Jeff, and Simon; Our drivers Bailey, Pete, and Steve, and Mike the photographer. Also thanks to Miss Powder Mountain, Kate.

All of the footage was shot using my VIO POV helmet cam.

Sorry for the overexposed part around 3:30…I suppose the sun was too bright for the camera to capture a clear image.

The song is “God moving over the face of the waters” by Moby.

We’re already counting down until next season!

Looking for recommendations for snowboard boots and bindings! I’ve heard a lot about the k2 cinch system, but don’t really like the price NOT interested in step-ins, I’d rather stick with the regular ones. Any particular brands to recommend?

Also, for boots, I am an intermediate rider, but not sure if I really like the super flexible boots or not. I always feel like my foot is ready to slide out! Any recommendations for middle of the road between soft and stiff?

It’s not just for burton. Ask your question in forum, lots of knowledgable people will answer.

I’m buying new boots and bindings. In your opinion who makes the best boots and bindings? Also I’m kindof worried whether I should stick to the same companyfor both the boots and bindings or if it’s ok to use boots from one company and bindings from another? Thanks for the help!

When it comes to buying boots you should try and compromise between style and comfort. Last season I spent 3 months teaching and was pleased with the burton boots I had chosen, but they weren’t the ones I wanted. Different companies have different fits, burton and thirtytwos tend to be quite a wide boot, but salomon tend to be narrower. If you have a narrow foot and really like a burton boot try to go for something more suitable for your foot, otherwise you could be in pain from poor fitted boots and therefore not ride and improve as well as you could. If you ask at your local shop they should have a good idea of the fits and always be sure to get something that feels snug so that you can wear them in, other than getting something that’s comfy and then once you’ve worn them in find that your heel lifts in your boot.

On the issue of the boot/bindings combo. It shouldn’t be too much hassle if you switch brands if you go for something similar eg Burton boots with Ride bindings. That said I has burton boots with Salomon bindings and board and after a bit of playing around got them to feel how I wanted them. Depends on how much you are willing to play around with them to get them just how you want them.

At the end of the day, the boots are the most important bit of kit you own, if those aren’t good and comfy then you could have the best board and bindings and be an awful rider. If you really hate them you could always get some really baggy pants to cover the boots up. Trust me on this one.

i have a flow merc snowboard that i got with 5150 bindings any good?

That’s a decent beginner set-up.

All 5150 bindings are pretty basic. They’re cheap but they’ll get you down the hill alright. If your going to upgrade, I’d upgrade these before your board, though.

The Flow Merc is Flow’s entry level all-mountain board. Pretty durable and a medium-soft flex. Not bad if you’re just starting out, but I wouldn’t ride it more than your first season (at most two seasons), because your skills will quickly progress beyond this board.

Flow is better known for their bindings. People either love them or hate them, though. As long as you get the mid or upper range bindings (M- series or NXT series), they’re great. Burton and K2 also make good bindings if you’re looking to upgrade.

I saw unique binding holes in the board and it looked strange. So im not sure if any other brand would fit.

I know that the reverse is true (other boards with Burton bindings), and it wouldn’t make sense for Burton bindings to fit on other boards that other standard bindings fit on, as well as Burton Boards (if Burton was to make specialty), but for other bindings not to fit on their boards. But you’re right, I’ve seen some wild binding holes on a couple of Burtons too.
Right now I’m riding a K2 with Citizen bindings and I don’t think they had to do anything funky with my board. But if the case is that the board doesn’t have enough holes for your bindings, or there is some other huge issue, you might have to get what are called base plates. I’d say if you already have your bindings, take them in with you when you get your new board, and show them, and they’ll explain it to you then.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help, seeing as I’m making this based off of assumption, but I did talk to a couple of my buddies about that and I googled it.

Okay, I’m thinking about snowboarding. Do I have to wear goggles AND my glasses at the same time? ‘Cause I don’t have contacts or anything. Please help!

I had this same problem when I started snowboarding. I did manage to find goggles that fit over my glasses, and most people wear smaller glasses today anyway, so that shouldn’t be a problem in the least. The problem lies in fogging.

To prevent your glasses from fogging up inside your goggles, and they will, get either a defogging cloth and wipe them just before you start up the chairlift, or get the spray solution. Both work, but you may have to do it more than once per day.

Two years ago I finally got contacts. It’s just so much easier for me during the snowboarding season. If you decide to do that, be sure to tell the optometrist that you want them for being outdoors in winter. He/she will go over options with you to prevent your contacts and/or eyes from drying out.

BUDGET IS £250(372 $) could maybe push 400 $ (NEED ALL GEAR)

should i shop online or find a store
i live in london so if you know anywhere around there please say.
need a freestyle board bindings and boots.

It shouldn’t matter where you get one. You should get an older model rather than new because they’re much cheaper. You could go to ebay for something used, or a ski shop clearance section to find the old models. Here’s a link to a catalogue of clearance items:

If they don’t ship overseas just look for a similar site in your area. Also, being 14 you’ll do a lot of growing in the next couple years so use this guide & get one a little bigger than it recommends
