Snowboarding Bindings

i have a pair of double lens Snowboard Goggles, and used water to wash them all the way off, and water got traped in between the two lens. I was wondering how i could get the water out of them without ruining the goggles. Will the water come out on its own?

Either the two lenses are not sealed, or the seal has broken. If you know where the water came in, first try a hair dryer. You just want to blow dry air across the water so it will evaporate.

I am new to snowboarding. So I need to buy basically everything.. I need a snowboard, bindings, boots, a helmet, and possibly goggles. Which as I’ve learned its going to coast A LOT. So does anyone know where to get really cheap snowboard stuff? I don’t mind if it’s used as long as it’s good condition. But it has to be a store because I want to look at it up close and get measurements and stuff because I’m new. I DO NOT WANT A WEBSITE THAT DOESN"T HAVE A STORE.

please and thank you(:

Obviously your local board shops will have the best selection on gear however most of since it is QUALITY gear wont exactly be cheap unless it’s on sale. The cheapest gear would be at retail stores like big 5,sports authority ect ect. But that stuff isn’t exactly quality. If you don’t have much money to spend and still want quality gear your best bet is to go down to your local board shops around the end of the season, Pretty much all shops around than have their usual 50% off sale on all the gear they couldn’t sell that year.

I’m looking to upgrade my board, but I am wondering if my K2 Cinch bindings, model maybe…2005-2006, will fit on a Burton board?

Sorry to say that everyone up to this point has been wrong… yes your K2 Cinch bindings will work with ANY Burton board.

All K2 bindings come with UNIVERSAL base plates.. you just turn it and can only use 3 screws. (so do most other bindings these days..)

And for those few Burton’s with a single channel.. you can still use those universal base plates.. Just turn it so the 2 lines cross the channel and use 2 screws. If your ride hard or are a bigger kid and worried if those two screws per binding will hold you then you can buy a burton base plate to throw in those K2 bindings and the problem is still solved.

From personal experience though that whole freedom channel (several companies have had it although Burton is the first to use just one channel) is not the greatest. On hard impacts your binding can still slip. Thats why I ditched my Capita Yetti from a few years ago. Great board otherwise but I hated those channels.

i usually ride goofy and i want to know ather peoples oppinion because my friends say that the bindings should be close together and the front foot should be parallel with the other foot…. but then people in a shop i went to said the exact opposite and the front foot shoul piont out a lil bit!

what one is it… or is there even a better way?!

The people in the shop are right. Your bindings should not be close together, as this makes it even harder to manouever your snowboard. If anyone knows their stuff, it is definately the people in the shop. Thats why they are hired.

So to conclude, you should have your stance set fairly wide apart, but also so that it is still comfortable. The front foot should point outward a bit, and the back foot should be straight, or pointed in the other direction. This is the ‘duck-footed’ stance and is the one I have been riding with for about 6 years.

Good luck!

how reliable are flow bindins, i’d like to learn some new tricks and am in to the terrain park i guess part of the process f learning is falling so how durable are flow bindings when it comes down to it?

They are very durable, but with that durability, come extra weight. You’ll have to buy a higher end flow binding in order to lower the weight, but the ease of use provided by flows is awesome. And don’t worry about the backs popping open. The only way that happens if you don’t have them set tight enough. They are a good binding though, at least the higher end models.
