The right snowboard binding setup can make all the difference in how you ride. A proper stance will not only improve your performance but also help to prevent injuries. Try out different angles with your bindings depending on your body type and riding style.
There are many sizes of bindings to fit different boots. The binding's front should be wider than your shoulders. The back of the binding should be smaller and slightly wider than your heel. If you are unsure of which binding to buy, look for the company that makes a binding that is "Re:Flex" (tm) compatible. It will fit most US boots sizes.
Two screws hold the high-back of the binding to the base. The binding's high back should be aligned as closely as possible with the edge of the snowboard. Two screws are located on either side to allow for rotation of the high-back. It can interfere with your turns if the high-back is not in alignment.
The front binding should have a 15 degree angle, and the back should be zero degrees. This is known as a neutral binding position. The binding position of the neutral binding is one that places the front binding in the center of a board. The back binding should be parallel with the board's heel edge. Depending on your riding style, the back binding can either be positive or negatively. Positive angles are common for beginner snowboarders, and a zero degree angle is common for freestyle snowboarders.
Rotating the bindings will adjust it to the right stance angle. There are three main angles you can use to experiment with stance: zero degrees, positive and negative. A positive angle is a good choice for beginners. It helps to maintain a neutral position while turning. If you prefer riding in one direction, you can make the most of your turns by using a positive angle. A negative angle is better if you want to ride in both directions. This will enable you to lower your tail more quickly.
If you are unsure which binding to purchase, look out for bindings that have "Channel", "Re:Flex", or both. These will fit most snowboards. They should be very comfortable and easy to setup. Gas pedals are available on most bindings so that you can adjust your boot's size.
It is simple to set up the binding. You can adjust the bindings with a wrench, or a screwdriver. Mount them in a reference stand and then try different binding widths. Once you have it set up how you want it, you can test it out on runs. If you want to make adjustments, you can use a screwdriver or wrench to tighten and loosen the screws.

How To
How do I learn to snowboard for beginners?
This section will explain how to begin snowboarding. Everything from where to go to purchase equipment, how to learn and what to do, will be covered.
Let's start by defining some basics.
"Snowboard": A board that is attached to your feet for skiing down hills. It typically has two edges (front and back), which form the board's shape. The board's front edge is larger than its back edge in order to control speed.
"Skier" - Someone who rides a ski/snowboard down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.
"Skiing" - Riding down hills on skis. You can do this on either natural terrains like mountains, or man-made terrains such as ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment such as skis and poles, bindings or boots, gloves, goggles, sunglasses and socks.
"Riding Down Hills” - To go downhill, you first need to know how to stop falling. Push your legs into the ground by pulling your rear leg forward, and pushing down with your legs. Keep going until you reach your desired speed. The faster you go, the more you will have to lift your legs and kick them forward. Once you've reached the desired speed, you let your legs come together and relax. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.
Once you've learned how to prevent yourself from colliding with the ground you will need to figure out how fast. There are different ways to measure speed. Some prefer to count laps around a mountain, while others prefer the distance from one turn and another. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered slowing down and speeding up, it's time to figure out how to turn. To turn, you simply lean your body to the side you wish to move towards. Lean too far, and you will crash into the ground. You won't be capable of turning if you lean too much. Once you know how to turn, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves you perform on the slopes. They require timing and balance. They can include spins, flips, and cartwheels.
There are many types. You can do tricks like jumping over obstacles or flipping obstacles. There are also tricks that require you to spin over obstacles. Each trick has its own set requirements. You might need to spin 180 degrees midair if you are trying to jump above something before you land on the opposite side.
There are many tricks. There are many types of tricks. Some require precision and accuracy. Others require strength.
Tricks are difficult to master. You can learn tricks anywhere, any time once you master them. While skiing is often considered to be a sport for adults only, kids love to play on the slopes. It's great to watch kids do amazing tricks and slide down hills.
