How do I put bindings on a snowboard?

Check that the bindings fit your board’s mounting pattern, place the lead-foot binding toward the nose with the ladder straps on the outside, set the disc at your starting angle, start each screw by hand and tighten them evenly in a cross pattern with a hand screwdriver.

Can any bindings go on any snowboard?

Most can, with the right disc, but not all. Burton’s EST bindings are designed for The Channel, and step-in bindings also need matching boots. Compare your board’s pattern (4x2, 4x4, 3D or Channel) with the patterns your binding supports.

How do I install bindings on a Burton Channel board?

Use Channel hardware: Union’s guide describes four screws and four standard washers for its disc bindings, and Burton’s EST bindings mount directly into the channel with two screws each. Check whether your board needs M5 or M6 hardware, and follow your binding manual.

How do I set up bindings for a goofy stance?

Goofy riders lead with the right foot, so mount the right binding at the nose end of the board and the left binding at the tail. Everything else, including hardware and tightening, works the same way as a regular setup.

Which way do bindings go on a directional snowboard?

A directional board has a distinct nose, usually the longer and more upturned end, and its inserts are often set back toward the tail. Mount your front binding toward the nose and your rear binding toward the tail; don’t swap ends as you might on a twin.

How do I take bindings off my snowboard?

Unscrew the mounting screws with a hand screwdriver, keep all the hardware together and inspect the inserts. If an insert spins or will not hold a screw, have a technician repair it before you mount anything else.

How to set up snowboard bindings

To set up snowboard bindings, confirm they fit your board’s mounting pattern, place each binding on the correct side, then screw them down by hand in a cross pattern using only the hardware that came with them. Fine-tuning the fit to your boots comes after.
