i know burton boots wont fit well with other brand bindings(learned that the hard way) but will other boots work with burton bindings without wearing?
Salomon boots have a slightly larger heel than most boots and have trouble fitting into some burton binding models. Other than that I think you will be ok.

i want to get some nice Snowboard Goggles. i want them to be the Peripheral googles. that means there is an ultra large lens. and i want the lenses to be double lenses so it doesnt fog up. i dont want them to have the coating i want to have the double lens. and i want the rims the outside to be multicolored because my pants are the burton pixplosion so it has to be colorful.

I had mine in the duck stance and after a while of riding my feet,ankles,and calfs really started to hurt. Then i switched them to both goin straight and no prob. How do you guys have them?
I’m regular footed and I ride a 21 inch stance with my front foot at 27 degrees and my rear at -6 degrees.
I have this bow-legged style of riding and the duck stance helps as it allows for my knees to bend more comfortably. I like the big angle on the front foot as it helps me really drive my turns, is quicker edge to edge and leads into spinning easier, I think. Even with this angle I can ride switch very, very well. In fact, when I’m riding switch if you didn’t look at my board or feet you’d think I was goofy foot.
In the twenty years I’ve been riding I have ridden a lot of different stances. From the one stance choice of 14 inches on my first board (a Barfoot 151 twin tip Freestyle) to the 27 inch 0-0 stance of my old Avalanche 147 Road Trip to the 11 inch 64-68 (yep, I rode a bigger angle on my back foot, call me crazy) of my race boards. I think I’ve ridden almost every stance option out there.
Good question.
I’m getting back into snowboarding this year after 4 years off and I completely forgot my sizes. I weigh 135 lbs, I’m 5′9 and wear a shoe size of 9.5. Can someone please recommend makes and sizes for these 3 crucial elements???? Thanks.
BTW: Reason I’m asking is because I want to save money by getting all my gear off Ebay which as u know doesn’t afford the luxury of me trying items on first. Thanks.
uhhhhhhh what?
I’m pretty sure you would get a 10 size boot, because boots come in only whole sizes (no halves) and u wud rather have it a little big then to tight which might restrict bloodflow to your feet. The bindings should be about a medium. The snowboard, depending on what you want to do, should be between 150-160cm. I am 5′9, 165, and ride a 162cm because I like going fast and carving good. I would reccomend a 154cm. Just remember, you never know what your going to get on ebay, so try to research the product your buying as much as you can. Good luck!
I want to use a snowboard for sandboarding.. I was wondering, would wearing regular shoes (they’re Vans..) still work with the bindings? I dont want to use snowboots, they’re too heavy for the sand
Thanks!
Snowboard bindings will work with your boots as long as the binding size is small enough. You can usually get the straps tight enough to give you some leverage on the board.
I actually tried this last year and used regular shoes. The only problem I had was that there was too much wax on my snowboard so it just stuck to the sand. So my only advice is to get as much wax off your board as possible before goin. Besides that have a blast!!
My old bindings were lquids
Could be a lot of things, You could of put them on backwards you could of changed the width of them or the angles of the bindings compared to how you had your last ones, or the bindings may just be a completely different flex compared to your other ones.
these are the ones i want http://www.spyoptic.com/dimg/thm/t_547_44cc814eb7437c9c5f5c1a93dcaa4173.jpg but i want these lenses with them http://www.spyoptic.com/dimg/thm/t_547_31882f11905b28ef57f2fbfe4829d2d9.jpg
is there a place that sells those lenses or those goggles with those lenses?
Smith Optics lets you pick the lens for their goggles. Check out their site.
I just got a new snowboard today, and I was wondering what a good brand of bindings to get are. I’m looking for a good deal. I wear size 9 boots and I have been snowboarding for 2 years. I would prefer ratchet bindings (I think that is what they are called). I have heard that the snap-in bindings are not reliable.
Not true Marnz, If he got a burton board with the typical 3dhole pattern he can simply buy an adapter plate to have any binding fit it, If he bought a burton binding with the ICS system then he’ll need atleast burton bindings for the ICS adaptor to work, Preferably though he’ll want burtons EST bindings, for the ICS system because they work the best for that system.
So in saying that here are some I’d look at if you don’t have to worry about burtons ICS system.

If you list your riding style I could point out some specific bindings from these brands that’ll work good for that.
I have a Rome Graft and am just wondering if I can put on Burton bindings?
yea of course you can.
theres alternate disks you can buy at most shops and some of the bindings even come with it. my burton cartels came with both disk options.
any burton binding will go onto any board except the burton EST bindings. they can only go on select burton boards.
