When you purchase snowboard bindings choose wisely, as they will affect your riding more than you think. To have a better control on your board and feel good you should be guided by the following. 1) They are of the size of your snowboard boots, as well as the width of your board. If you wear a large shoe size - over 45 your toe cap will stick before the baseplate and touch the ground, then you should look for bidings with toe ramp adjustment that will rump them up 2) They match your riding style. Freestyle- the bindings in this category usually offer softer flex and allow greater flexibility and maneuverability. This type of bindings are recommended for beginners. All-Mountain - the category includes riders who do a little of everything: powder, groomed runs, park, etc. These bindings usually have a medium flex for all-purpose use. Freeride -this category is all about the steep and the deep – powder and speed on challenging terrain. These bindings have a stiffer flex for better response and energy transfer to the snowboard for going fast and going big.
