However, there are mounting variations most commonly found on Burton boards known as ICS, or The Channel System, as well as their proprietary three-hole mounting pattern. That being said, the vast majority of major binding manufacturers provide disks that allow mounting to any type of mounting system out there.
If ever unsure, consult a local shop, or contact the binding manufacturer to see if they can send you the right disks to use, or guide you through the process. This three-part series covers board setup, what to know before you drop, and the top 12 basic tricks that will help progress your riding.

A true legend, Jason "J2" Rasmus turned his persona into a professional Through a combination of innovative board design and ideology, snow surfing is sp When going big in the streets on a snowboard is dubbed a "Brisse Spot", We've compiled a list of helpful travel tips with the goal helping you make This allows the nose to float, reducing the nose digging in and alleviating some of the pressure you need to place on the back leg.
Some boards are directional as opposed to a true-twin with a true-twin board, the binding holes are equal distance from the front and rear of the board. Directional boards will have a little setback dialled in, even though your bindings are centred over the binding holes on the board. While not wearing your boots, strap them into the bindings and take a look at the boots — do they look centred relative to the edges?
If you have too much toe drag or overhang, move the bindings towards the heel edge and vice versa. For example:. Fast groomers and carving — increase the front binding angle, keep rear binding neutral or even go a little positive. Going positive on the rear binding might be too much of a compromise for general all-mountain riding. Great if you ride a lot of switch. See diagram above.
Other factors to consider is how the angles feel on your knees, hips or body position. I once tweaked my back binding 3 degrees because my knee was getting sore and it made a world of difference. It allows me to get low in my squat on the rough stuff, ride switch when I want to and still lets me carve on the groomers better at degrees on the rear.
Tilting your high back towards the toe edge will improve responsiveness, especially getting on to your heel edge Aggressive. Great for carving as any little movement of your boot directly transfers to your binding. Having a slightly more upright position of your high back will dull down responsiveness a little Relaxed. Play around with having the high back just off your boot, on your boot and hard up against your boot i. I like to ride with mine just touching but not too much pressure.
Aligning your high backs to run parallel to the heel edge will improve your comfort and responsiveness. Most high backs will have three settings first photo above where they attach to the base plate. Step-in Heel. Inter Pivot 3. Boot type. AFD Gliding Plate. Stainless steel. Heel adjustment range. Use the metal rail to scratch off ice and snow below your boot sole. Magnesium sole holders in the toe combinded with a Magnesium heel housing provide the solid construction for the hardest charging freeride athletes read more.
What angles do you suggest to me? I would definitely experiment with those angles. For the way you describe your riding a mirror duck could work too. It really depends on what feels right for you. You can ride the Mountain Twin with a centered stance. The centered stance is centered along the effective edge of the board, rather than being centered on the overall length of the board.
Though I would like to feel more solid switch. Though in saying that, if you really just wanted to focus on riding switch for a while, you could setup in your switch stance as if it was your regular stance and mostly ride that for a while.
Hi man i have a Kazu Pro Board, Burton Ion and Burton Genesis and what i love to do is right between the trees and to be able to make quick fast turns. I think the best thing you can do for find the right angles is to experiment until you find something that feels the best for you. In saying that, if you like to ride switch in the trees, then a duck stance is probably a good idea — not necessarily mirror duck, but something close.
If you never ride switch, then you could certainly experiment with anything. A good way to do it, IMO is to test out between 2 quite different angle setups to begin with and then work your way in. You could keep testing like this if you wanted but a couple of experiments is usually find to get something close to your sweet spot. Of course if you go too narrow it can start getting too squirrelly. But if you go too wide, then you get more stability for sure, but you loose some maneuverability.
So on the narrow side, but not like crazy narrow so as to loose too much stability. Start out on the reference stance and then try something narrower. If you preferred the narrower stay there. If you preferred the reference stance, then probably stick to the reference stance or try something a little wider — but I suspect that, given that you want sharp fast turns, that reference or slightly narrower is probably going to be your best bet.
Definitely a good idea to experiment to find your ideal binding angles. I would even try something more different to start with.
