you need to change … you need to change the stance of your bindings… your toes should be pointing outwards in a duck stance, not straight 90 degree angle….
can anyone tell me … can anyone tell me if my boots sticking off the board approximately an inch offboth sides of the board will matter? they say it will in theory. but does anyone have a situation like that and not notice it? im a size 10.5 and the board im using is not wide.
Can i ask a … Can i ask a question? So you want the board to be bigger than your foot? Or do you want them both to be about the same. Can you give me some precise measurements? Like your foot should be within 1 cm of the edges the board. Also, sorry one last thing. Can you explain the angles when im puttin gon binding? Someone said that a 15-0 would be good for beginners. So thats 15 on the hind leg and 0 on the first? How do i know at what angles to attach? Thanks
for the most part.. … for the most part…granted you already know how to ride. a snowboard should more or less come up to your adam’s apple…about halfway up your neck. for you that may be something like a 156-158. best to go and stand with one infront of yourself. also take note of what the board is good at…there are park boards and mountain boards so take consideration of what you want it to do.
check out some rome snowboards…nothing better out there imo. msg me if you need more help!
just something its … just something its not the shoe size because alot of people wear bigger shoes than what thier foot size is so u should have a scale to measure the foot not the shoe
Hey, I’m interested … Hey, I’m interested in buying snowboard gear. I was wondering if I am 5’11, im size 12 boot, and my weight is 160 lbs. What are the specs of the snowboard i need to get? Like how long? how wide? etc. Please respond and let me know. Thank you
Nice vid…quite … Nice vid…quite informative…I’m the big dude with big feet (13) and I’ve been wrongly outfitted many a time. Toe drag is a bitch. I can deal with minor toe drag but I’ve had to return a lot of boards because of major toe drag aka “My edge is my boots”…..heel drag sucks as well….
This tech tip explains the differences between new snowboards and shows you what to look for when making a new snowboard purchase.
