A word from the product manager
By observing children, we've noticed that they, like their parents, want to be able to put on and take off their bindings on their own. Bindings with two buckles take longer to handle. A single binding with an asymmetrical strap is more than enough, even for a child with a good level of snowboarding, combining speed, cut turns and jumps.
Single-loop opening system
A single buckle to tighten the ankle but with an asymmetrical strap that still covers the toes, necessary for backside turns, is the principle behind this binding. Everything's easier for kids!
Possible settings
The original settings are suitable for most riders. However, you can adjust:
- the canting angle
- the front pre-drilled rack. You can move it forwards (for sizes 36 to 38) or backwards (for sizes 34 and 35). To do so, unscrew the fastener.
- strap volume with pre-drilled racks
Stance, binding spacing
Adapt to your child's morphology, but remember that all snowboards have a recommended stance for the bindings (marked between the binding inserts). Increasing the stance forces you to be positioned fairly low on the board, thus increasing your stability. It also helps with rotations in the air. On freestyle boards, the recommended stance is generally higher than on all-mountain boards.
How can I vary the distance between my feet on the board?
For on- and off-piste boards:
If you want to tighten your feet, it's best to move the front binding back only.
Conversely, if you want to spread your feet, it's best to move the rear binding back. The aim is to be a little further back to make better turns on the piste and float more in powder.
For freestyle boards (symmetrical):
It's best to move the 2 bindings to stay centered on the board.
What angles should I put on my snowboard bindings?
For a freeride program, we recommend +18° at the front and 0° at the rear. For versatile on/off-piste use, we recommend +18° and -6°. The open rear foot keeps your shoulders in line with the board. For pure freestyle use, don't hesitate to choose symmetrical angles +15° and -15°, for example. The choice of angle on bindings is very personal, so don't hesitate to test several to find the one that suits your child best.
Don't forget to center the boot on the snowboard!
Disc bindings with 4 screws can slide along an axis and generally have 5 possible positions. This adjustment is used to center the boot on the snowboard and prevent the foot from protruding too far (otherwise you're bound to fall!). You need to ensure that your boot protrudes equally on both sides of the board. You can also rotate the disc by 90° to add more or less stance than provided by the inserts. In this case, you lose the possibility of lateral centering.
Compatibility with Burton Channel boards
The Burton snowboard brand has its own system for mounting bindings: the Channel. The binding is screwed onto 2 mobile inserts, which are present when the board is purchased.
Our disc allows this binding to be mounted on the channel, as the holes make this possible.
However, the screws supplied with our discs are not compatible in diameter. The Burton insert is also different from the rest of the market. You'll need to buy Burton screws.
