im 5'6',127lbs, size 10 shoe. just starting out in snowboarding and was wondering what type of board and bindings i should get

[thehouseboardshop]

@Tc40Gaming your going to need something like the Burton Custom Smalls Flying V Wide 145 or the Salomon Mini Drift Rocker Wide 146, as for binding Check out the Burton Mission or the Ride Ex.

Hey, I mean I've got a shit board and that's putting it nicely but for the time being it's all i've got. I need some bindings. I'm a chick, I haven't really boarded that much (1-2 years on and off) and I mean I don't really know kinda where I wanna go with it, I'm a bit more into the carving but then I do like trolling over bumps in the park. Could you recommend some bindings?

[thehouseboardshop]

@BeanRoxUrSox Here are a few to check out.

Ride LXH Snowboard Bindings, Salomon Rhythm, Artec Phase and Burton Lexa

[wridan6570]

I am 6'2 185lb size 13 foot would a 159 Wide be ok for me?

[madman32120]

hey i'm getting the rome graft, would large forum recon bindings be to big for it?

[fundip43]

I love snowboarding

[timbuk290]

Im 5'11, 140 pounds, size 11 boot. Is a 157 wide too big? Thanks.

[thehouseboardshop]

@timbuk290 155cm sounds good...

[Jvalthuis]

@thehouseboardshop i am at 19 in the front and 18 back is that good for park jibs

[trevdog110]

Im 170lbs 6'1", is a 155 too small for me?

[thehouseboardshop]

@trevdog110 For the park a 155 would ok, but if you more into all mtn riding I would suggest going with a 157

[trevdog110]

@thehouseboardshop is 2 cm going to make a difference? thanks for replying :)

[loginstrength]

im going snowboarding soon and i wanna do some freestyle, i got a board for christmas and i need to know whats a good position for freestyle, im set up my board for 15 - 15 is that a good stance for freestyle? one thing idk is how far apart should my feet be, i set them up in the middle holes but im not sure, please help.

[thehouseboardshop]

@loginstrength 15 /15 is a good starting point, as for the width start off about shoulder width apart. You will find out what works best for you just, take your time, tweak you stance if needed and have fun.

[Jvalthuis]

if i am in the park love jibs and big jumps a wide stance about one hole slide down from the refrence is that good for the park? or is it bad for spinning?

[Boardfreak111]

i ride 9 front 0 back is that bad for my knees?

[thehouseboardshop]

@Boardfreak111 you should be alright. Its bad for you knees when you have 0 front and 0 back .

[Boardfreak111]

@thehouseboardshop

thanks

[LegendaryBikeCo]

who els went to adjust their bindings

[MynameisElliott]

Are you related to Marshall from How I Met Your Mother?

[thehouseboardshop]

@MynameisElliott Dave is actually Jason Segel's stunt double.

[MynameisElliott]

@thehouseboardshop :D

[TheBoardersnow]

i have a 147 burton blunt and im 5'4 my stance is as wide as it will go and 15 15 is this good for straight up park board

[MrLongboarder18]

@TheBoardersnow yee dude, with a new board i always take a few laps, see how it feels and chance something if you want to at the bottom!

[butkicker177]

12 front, 4 back. is that also bad for my knees

[thehouseboardshop]

@butkicker177 Any angles is better then no angle.

[eleszar1]

i have 15 front- 14back

[Frankinater216]

@eleszar1 too bad it goes by increments of 3 degrees

[dan0122333]

@eleszar1 Thanks for the video, and thanks to all the comments. Makes being a rookies.... tolerable. Any suggestions here; I've always skateboarded and just got my first board, a 163 twin tip. I am having more fun on quarter pipes than downhill.... do I have the right board? Any suggestions on setup?? Thanks guys

[thehouseboardshop]

@dan0122333 How much do you weigh and what size boots to you have. and which board do you have?

[dan0122333]

@thehouseboardshop I'm 215 lbs, 6'4" and wear a size 14 Airwalk boot, the board is a 5150 'Pacer'... it's an older board... also, any suggestions on edges and waxing? Should I be waxing every ride? And I heard sharp edges aren't so good for rails and slides... thanks for the fast reply!

[SavardRn]

If i do both freestyle and free riding whats a good angle for my back foot? I will be going 15 in the front but don't know what to have it in the back.

[thehouseboardshop]

@SavardRn Persnolly i ride 19 in the front and 15 deg in back, Because thatch what feels good to me. so if i was you i would probably put you back foot at 12 deg.

Try jumping as high as you can and land solid on both feet check what angles you feet are at and try to match that on you snowboard.... good luck

[thehouseboardshop]

@TylerMW99 Riding with stance at 0/0 is really BAD, for you knees , We would highly recommend that you change you stance.

[johnnypotsmoker222]

hi, ive got a 155 burton clash with burton freestyle bindings. this is my first board and im a little confused on the angles. should i have it ducked out? or should it be more angle on the front and less on the back?

[thehouseboardshop]

@johnnypotsmoker222 I have friends who rides ducked with more 15 deg in front and 17 deg in back, he says it releases the pressure he feels on his knee. Personally I ride ducked out, about 20 deg in front and 16 degrees in back. Just like Dave said, it more or less personal preference. Just try some stance options and you will find the one that works best for you.

[EndL1ch]

Is it simple to adjust the bindings myself? I have the Channel system but I've never adjusted bindings before. I am nervous that I won't attach it properly and something will come loose when I snowboard tomorrow. Please let me know! : )

[snow4fun1]

what board is that

send to crgpais@aol.com

[snow4fun1]

what board is that



[CanadianClipper31]

Wow, burton method. I saw one of these and my dad almost passed out when I showed him the price.

[imastreetrider]

THANK YOU! Ive been looking for a video to explain instead of show how to mount. =)

[TheyCallMeESha]

i'm a new rider. this was the most helpful video when it came to mounting my bindings. Thanks!

[RobdaSkate]

how can i make my stance width 23.5 inches and have my stance centered. Its a neversummer revlver board so i think its a 6X6 hole pattern

[thehouseboardshop]

@RobdaSkate Tough one to explain here but we'll try. I believe the Revolver is a twin shape so it should be pretty easy, but just in case I'm wrong we'll add a step. Measure and mark the center of your board. Then measure 11 and 3/4 in. from the center and mark that. Place your bindings so that the center will be at the mark. If the board is a twin shape the screws should be in the same inserts on either side. If it's directional it will be different but your stance will be centered.

[thehouseboardshop]

@thesnowboardboy :)

[RaNdOmEpicR4Z0R]

hey when do the 2011 snowboards come out?

[thehouseboardshop]

@RaNdOmEpicR4Z0R Usually late August.

[doslucky]

Is there a way to determine my stance width is currently set to on my 4x4 burton custom bindings without actually using a tape measure?

[thehouseboardshop]

Nope. You have to measure from the center of one insert set to the other.

[jagerenkoling]

So youre saying its easier to learn how to turn on a reverse camber board? Ive seen that some of the cheaper newbie boards have low or no camber. But its easier with reverse? Only thing is that the rocker boards are much more expensive. But yeah if I will have someone to ride with it might be worth it.

[thehouseboardshop]

Reverse camber boards are easier to learn on. I consider them "cheating".

[jagerenkoling]

We're from Sweden. She tried my friends skate banana and reversed camber seems to be the

choice. Or would you say flat/low camber (like nitro lectra)? Reversed cambered boards get to expensive I think.

[thehouseboardshop]

Reverse camber typically makes the board more versatile and forgiving. I like the V-rocker from Burton or the BTX technology for Lib Tech or Gnu as they both incorporate extra edge hold technology.

[jagerenkoling]

One more thing. If she likes it and will continue I might buy her a board. Whats better as a first board, twin or directional?

[thehouseboardshop]

What state is she riding in?

[jagerenkoling]

Quick question. Im trying to teach my girlfriend to ride. The board she uses is a directional twin( i think atleast, the nose is abit wider). Is it easier as a newbie to learn how to turn with setback?

[thehouseboardshop]

It really doesn't matter as long as the set-back is less than 2 inches.

[davidrundle11]

k dave i need your help. ok so i put my bindings all the way out for freestyle a long time ago before watching this video. and even though they are all the way out my nose is longer than my tail. its such a piss off and i don't know why. my board is K2 illusion if your wondering.

[thehouseboardshop]

The Illusion is a directional board with a longer nose. It is not a true twin.

[davidrundle11]

thank you so much!

[SP3CIALBL3NDrider327]

I rock 18 -18 also. These vids are very informative, I wish I had these kind of vids when i first started out.

[groundsurfers23]

do you only say negative because its your back foot

[thehouseboardshop]

front 15 back -9

[bezzee12]

so what angle you suggest for normal ride for beginners !??
