| 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... |

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 | |

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? | |

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

But that was with folk who had boarded very little and hadn't sussed out what's comfortable for them

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 Quote:
