How to mount bindings onto a snowboard (I am a noob)?

depends on your height.  Get a ruler or something you can gauge length with, like a belt.  determine the distance from the middle of your kneecap to the ground.  Measuring from the center of binding 1 to center of binding 2 it should be about that distance apart.  Mount them symetrically, not further to either end.  You would move it back if you were riding it like a big powder board, so the front floats up.  As far as how to angle it, if you ride regular then lay the board down in front of you like you would ride it, so the front is at ur left hand and the back to ur right.  Put the right hand, or rear, binding on at a 90 deg angle, perpendicular to board, and then turn it slightly to the left or foward, +3 degrees..  Put the front, or left hand, binding on same as the other and then just turn it toward the front by 5 minutes on a clock or 15 degrees, or if the binding is marked then set it to 15 degrees, so its facing the front slightly. this is the standard, basic, ho-hum, shop-rental for a first timer newbie setup.

a baseplate it's in the snowboard binding It allows you to precisely tweak the lateral position of your foot accross your board no matter what the rotation of your bindings. \n you use your heel pressure to control it.\nA REVIEW I READ:\n Learn To Snowboard Step 8: The Falling Leaf Pattern Now that you are at the top of a beginner slope, you are going to slowly slide back and forth across the hill like a "falling leaf," staying on your heelside edge the entire time. To begin sliding, press down with the toes of your front foot. To stop sliding, pull back up with the same foot. (Treat it like a gas pedal.) When you reach the edge of the run, stop and press down with the toes of the other foot to start sliding in the other direction. Again, pull up to stop. Continue to the other side of the run. Repeat this back and forth "falling leaf" pattern all the way to the bottom of the run. \n\n  GO GET 'EM

When you try to do an ollie hold on to a rail and that might help. Pop up your board and then with the opposite foot, Push down. Practice makes perfect, so keep trying! ;)

Okay, I've been Snowboarding for over twenty years, worked for a snowboard company (Avalanche Snowboards/Universal Bindings) where I was the Assistant Binding Production Manager for 4 years, spent 4 years as a snowboard rental shop manager and now manage a Winter Sports Retail Store.\n\nPlease, don't believe the hype that step-in bindings are dangerous. That is completely and utterly untrue. With proper care and maintenance they are just as safe as the traditional ratchet bindings. People find them a bit more inconvenient than the ratchet type as they are susceptible to clogging with snow, the boots are usually either too stiff or too soft and there are fewer choices of boots to choose from. They are very popular with rental shops as they are much more durable, dependable and fit a wide range of boot sizes more easily than ratchet types. Also, crossover boarders  (former skiers) particularly older ones find it more similar to what they were used to on ski's and find them easier on their backs as there is less bending over. Keep in mind that Step-in bindings are becoming less and less popular and many manufacturers have stopped production on them.\n\nI prefer ratchet bindings myself. I like Burton P1 Carbons and I'm really excited to try out Burton's CO2's next season. I've ridden flow bindings and I don't like them as much. They are very easy to use and very comfortable but I cannot get them tight enough to get the response I am use to. I run a very stiff set-up with my P1 Carbons and Driver X boots. I have talked to tons of people who really like Flow bindings but they just aren't for me.\n\nAlways be honest with yourself about your skill level and style of riding when purchasing equipment. If all you do is cruise intermediate runs then you don't need the craziest, most high performance setup on the planet. You'll be much happier with equipment designed for your or just slightly above your ability level. Companies like Burton, Drake, Tech 9, Flow, Ride and K2 all make quality products.\n\nGiven a choice, get a binding with as many adjustment options as possible. I have found that not all bindings fit the same and the more choices you have to make a binding fit your boot better the more comfortable you will be.\n\nHope that helped.

I normally use snowshoes when I take my board up, but it can be a strain on the calves for a steep climb, you get into getter powder though.  That's what most folks where I live (Breckenridge) do.\n\nIf you really want to skin up then I would get some blades (super stubby skies) and mount some snowboard bindings on.  You will have to get creative though because you need to be able to 'free heel' to skin up.  You could try using a pair of Trekkers as the mount, they will also lift you up to stop your mounts from dragging.  It all sounds like too much work and gear...snowshoes of use an AT setup when you want to go up the mountain.

Hey I say check out Frosty Rider's Snowboard Sizing Calculator here http://frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm\nIt is easy, just put in your height, weight, boot size, gender, and skill level and it will tell you the right length and width of board for you.  It will even recommend snowboards for you to buy.\n\nHave fun there at the Bear ;)

Hi Manda\n\nTry putting them on a corkboard covered with green felt. Using some twist ties run threw the board. Then if you like you can put the m in a nice frame.\nJust an idea.\n\nLeon

Just buy new bindings. Those 10 year old bindings are dangerous and no shop that I know of will mount them for you. Binding technology has made improvements by leaps and bounds in the last ten years. Not only are bindings safer today than they ever were the integrated ski/binding systems perform much better. Bindings "float" on the skis now allowing the ski to flex correctly through the binding. Do yourself a favor and ditch the old bindings

They were a good binding at one time.  I use Salomon 957 racing bindings myself.  I know mine are more than 10 years old, and I'm pretty sure the 700s are much more than that.\n\nHowever, I would suggest DON'T BUY THEM.  The reason is, that unless they match the existing drilled holes in your ski, you won't be able to put them on yourself (unless you want to redrill your ski, which I don't recommend).\n\nWhy not take them to a ski shop?  Because I've found that most ski shops now are refusing to mount bindings that are more than 5 or 6 years old, certainly not anything 10 years or older.  This is for insurance liability reasons.  As such, you might end up with a pair of bindings that no one will mount for you.

Go used for the bindings and deck, spring for some new boots. You want a board that is both height and weight appropriate. The typical way of finding out the right size is somewhere between the chin and nose of your kid while the board is stood up. Boards are measured in cm fyi) \nIf your kid is too light for the board, there will be no way he can control it no matter how good he is. Likewise if he gets into the park and he's too heavy for it, it will break. \nWhen you go to buy a board, bend it. Put the nose against the floor, hold the tail in one hand, and push on the middle with the other. Don't be afraid to push hard. Try to think about the pressure your applying and your sons weight.\nFor bindings let him have strap-ins, they take a little longer but I believe they are safer and give you a better hold on your board. If you are getting them used go for Burtons, they are hands down the safest and most reliable, espically when you don't know where they've been.\nBoots should fit tighter than normal kids shoes, avoid the 'room for growth' because that will make his foot slip around inside and make control more difficult. \nI bought my board for a grand total of around $300 and that was with a name brand helmet, and name brand everything else. \nI got mine aftermarket, which for you would be the end of this season when the sellers want to get rid of their stock. if your son can wait, try to get to the end of season sales and pick him out something nice. In the meanwhile you can lease a board for the entire season from a ski/snowboard shop for around $100-$200 or rent daily from your mountain. \nI hope these tips and advice help you out.\nTell your son to have fun!
