Introduction

Do you know how to bind a snowboard? Well if not I'm going to  show you how. Follow these simple steps and I hope you enjoy them!

To Strap a  Snowboard Binding You Need:To strap a snowboarding binding you need the following materials. A snowboard, two bindings, and two boots MADE FOR SNOWB0ARDING. Regular boots will not work. 

 Leash is not needed unless preferred.

First Step

Strapping a snowboard binding is easier than you think. First, place your boot in the center of the binding. Make sure the back of boot is fully in.

Back of the boot should be fully in.

Attach Upper Strap

Next take the upper strap with the cushion attached and bring together with accordion strap. Then push together and they will slide through each other.

Using The Metal Clamp

On each binding there is a metal or plastic clip. When you pull the accordion and cushion strap together you will need to tighten more. Take the upper part of the metal or plastic clamp and pull backwards until the binding is comfortably tight around the top of your foot.

Bottom Strap

Now, take the lower strap and do the                  same except when placing the cushion and                           accordion strap wrap around the toe of your boot.                      Plastic or metal clamp should work the same.

To undo the Binding

       To undo the bindings take the bottom of the metal/ plastic clip and pull forward. Same for the bottom binding. The clip should slide easily.

If you have a leash....

      If you have a leash (a leash is a cloth strap that connects to your binding and boot that makessure board does not fall off foot) then follow the next steps.
