Snowboarding Bindings

I believe my boots are centered on my snowboard, yet my toes seem to hang out farther than my heal. Should i move the bindings farther back on the board to compensate?
My heel hangs over like 8/8 of an inch but my toes are like 2 inches over… and this board is even little big for my taste… its already 161cm long and 25.5 cm wide at the waist. I don’t want to get a wider board cause im only 140 lbs.
heel hangs over 1/8 not 8/8 lol

Depends how far they are off the board. If they hang over enough for you to catch an edge as you lean on your toe side while turning or carving, they’re too far and will need to be positioned farther back. If they hang over a cm it’s not a big deal.

I am an intermediate freeride snowboarder. How is this setup?

Snowboard: Rome Blue 151
Boots: Burton Sapphire White 8
Bindings: Burton Stiletto White Medium

Do you think they look good together?

yea they look really good together and it appears those bindings use toe-caps which i use as a requirement when boarding. they help soooo much. thats a hot board too for a girl

I purchased men’s snowboarding boots last year instead of women’s and this year I’m buying a board and bindings. Do I need to get men’s bindings to fit the boots or will men’s boots fit women’s bindings???

no problem mixing gear. You don’t need to get men’s bindings, nor do you need to stay within a particular brand. Just make sure that they fit together comfortably. In particular make sure that the boot fits the binding without being too loose or too tight in it. You don’t want to have to wedge it in. Also, make sure that the high backs are comfortable on the boots when you lean back.

Hi,

I have just recently purchased a Burton Andy Warhol 156 Custom snowboard and now i’m wanting to purchase some new boots and bindings.

Does anyone know of a good combination of good boots and bindings for this?

Thanks

oki id say if ur riding a custom your quite a good rider soo id go for somthing stiff like burton p1 bindings and either a pair of vans or a pair of dc’s but if u wanted 2 keep a whole burton setup then id go for a pair of burton hails i used to ride them real stiff real comfy!! you could look into some 32’s like the lashed there nice

I have recently upgraded my snowboard from a 5150 vice package with boots and bindings to a Burton Twin with no bindings or boots. I have 400 dollars to spend and would like to upgrade either my boots or bindings. Which would you say is more important? And i am not asking how to buy medium quality boots and bindings for 400, im settling for nothing less than the best.

Focus on the boots bro. If your feet are hurting the entire time you’re shredding then what fun’s that? lol $400 is plenty enough to get some good bindings and boots though, so you’re covered pretty well. As far as boots go, check out the new Burton Rulers for $200. They’re an awesome and innovative boot. I own em and let me tell you man, they’re awesome. You can get those bad lads on FAST so you’re not sitting in a warm house sweating in all your gear trying to get your boots on. Simple pull on a cord one side to tighten the foot laces and another pull on the other side of the boot’s cord to tighten up the shin area. The quickness that these boots can fasten up is all thanks to the Speed Zone lacing system they have, which is a small cord that runs through all the eyelets on the boot. The two ends of the cord come out on each side of the boot at the top and have a handle on them. Don’t be fooled though, this thin cord is capable of suspending a 300 lbs man, so it’s tough. It also has an air cushion in the heel to provide a plush, smooth ride and lessen blows when hitting jumps. IT’s definitely worth checking out and at $200, it’s really not a bad buy. And it’s always a good idea to keep the brands of both your boots and bindings the same, just because the companies produce the two to ride best when together because they’ll form to eachother better than two different brands will. But it’s usually not that big of a deal to intermix brands. But I suggest checking out Burton bindings too. I love the way they’re designed. If you look at Burton bindings compared to other brands, you’ll see that the pivoting hinge (where its anchored on the frame) for the highback is much more forward than the other brand. This allows it more flex and response while making it stronger over all. It’s just awesome. Check out everything at www.Burton.com and take a peek at Burton bindings like Freestyle, Custom, Mission, and Cartel, all around $200 as well, with spectacular designs. Good luck man.

I am 5′ 4", 120 lbs, shoe size 8, female and am a beginner. Also, what brand or styles would you recommend.

First, use a sizing guide for determining the approximate size of board you should be looking at:

http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm

At your size / weight / experience, I would recommend about a 145cm board. I would also recommend a freeride board with some setback and a directional shape – it is easier to learn to ride and you can still use it in the park until you are much better.

I would suggest Ride (Solace) or K2 (Luna) boards:

http://www.the-house.com/9854k2luw7zz-k2-luna.html

For boots, you should go to a local shop and try some on until you find the ones that fit like a glove – then look for the right size bindings for the boots you get. I recommend Ride bindings for all around riding – they are much better than the cheap plastic bindings you get with a "package deal" – check these out for only $60. Just make sure you get the right size.

Good Luck

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 in MN, and my friend is in Kansas. What would it cost (approx.) to mail a snowboard to her (one way)???

if you visit usps.com they have a shipping calculator….as long as you know the approximate weight.
