This article is for beginners who have just bought a snowboard. For those who have been riding for over a year, it doesn't really matter how the bindings are installed on their snowboard.
It is necessary
- - snowboard
- - fastenings
- - crosshead screwdriver
- - snowboard boots
Instructions
Step 1
Firstly, the installation of the bindings is determined by the nature of the ride. It is completely different depending on whether you are "goofi" or "regular", ie. which leg is leading - left or right, respectively. To find out, you need to ask someone unexpectedly (this is important!) To push you when you least expect it. The leg that you throw forward to maintain balance is the leading leg.
The angles of inclination of the bindings to the central axis of the board depend on the level of riding - the higher the level, the less they are.
The width between the bindings also depends on personal convenience, it is most often determined by the length of the rider's legs - the longer the legs, the wider the rack.
Step 2
For a beginner, as a rule, all these concepts do not mean anything, so the bindings are installed in the simplest way - along the middle holes on the board, with an average width of the rack and at an angle of 90 degrees to the center line of the snowboard. In order not to cling to the snow with your boots, it is better, of course, to immediately take the board wider - it is more stable and patiently forgives a beginner's mistakes, in contrast to professional narrow and light maneuverable missiles. If the boot in the bindings set perpendicular to the edge of the board crawls out of the edges, you will have to unfold the binding a little, otherwise all the pleasure of riding will be ruined.
In a few days, when the minimum riding skills are mastered - braking (first of all!) And both turns - facing and back to the slope, the bindings can be moved in accordance with personal feelings and wishes. Here the Phillips screwdriver will be simply irreplaceable.
On the mounts themselves there is a so-called "gas-brake pedal". Its adjustment is determined by the size of the snowboarder's boot. Here you need to adjust it to the leg as accurately as possible, the control of the snowboard control depends on it.
