Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

So... after much ebay action, I finally have snowboard of the right size, and bindings (flow bindings, noless!). And i've no idea how to put them on - how do I decide which is the right way, etc? And the angle? I go left foot forward...

Re: Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

best starting with your left foot at about 18 degrees. Have your right foot about 10 degrees. Stand on it and see how it feels

Re: Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

your left foot should point more towards the tip of the board, where your left foot should be pointing a bit more forward.

The screwplate should have degrees on them?

Re: Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

Yeah, does. Wasn't sure if you meant to change the angle inwards or out.

Yup, pretty much trial and error. When I used to set them up in snowboard hire that's about the angles I would have used, give of take. But that was with folk who had boarded very little and hadn't sussed out what's comfortable for them

Re: Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

usuallu the graphics on a board should be behind your trailing foot so the setup should look like this......

Re: Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

Heh, thanking you all kindly. Now I just need to test them. LOVE the ease - feels very comfortable. Think i've about the right amount of lean forward in them.

Re: Setting up Bindings on a snowboard

looks pretty good to me. It will probably take you a bit of time to get it right. Try out a few combinations until you get one that feels perfect
