How to Adjust Your Snowboard Addiction Training Bindings
How to Adjust Your Snowboard Addiction Training Bindings
This guide shows you how to adjust your Snowboard Addiction Training Bindings so your setup feels snug, secure, and ready for off-snow progression.
The Training Bindings are designed to work with Snowboard Addiction training boards that use a standard 4x4 insert pattern, including the Jib Board and Tramp Board. You can dial in your stance width, set your binding angles, and fine-tune the straps so your feet stay locked in while you train spins, presses, grabs, and board control at home.
What You'll Need
- Snowboard Addiction Training Bindings
- A compatible Jib Board Pro or Tramp Board Pro
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flat surface or workspace
Before You Start
Start with both bindings loose enough that you can adjust them easily. If your bindings are already mounted, check that the screws are secure before training. If you are changing stance width or angles, loosen the mounting screws first, make your adjustment, then tighten everything back down by hand.
The goal is simple: your feet should feel centered, supported, and secure without pressure points. A good fit gives you better control, helps reduce movement inside the binding, and makes your off-snow reps feel more natural.
Step-By-Step Adjustment Instructions
1. Set Your Binding Angles
Open the binding access point and use the mounting disc to choose your stance angle. The disc lets you line the binding up with the angle that best matches your normal snowboard setup.
A common freestyle starting point is:
- Front foot: +12 degrees
- Back foot: -12 degrees
If you already ride with a custom stance on snow, match those angles as closely as possible. Keeping your training setup similar to your real board helps your movements transfer better when you get back on snow.
2. Choose Your Stance Width
Your stance width affects balance, comfort, and control. If you are unsure where to start, use the reference stance printed on the board as a guide, then adjust from there.
- Go slightly wider if you are taller or want a more stable freestyle stance.
- Go slightly narrower if you are smaller or feel over-stretched.
- Make small changes one insert position at a time.
Once you have chosen your stance width, line up the disc with the inserts and start all screws loosely before tightening them fully. This helps everything sit flat and aligned.
3. Tighten the Mounting Screws
When the binding is lined up correctly, tighten the screws firmly by hand with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not over-tighten with power tools. The binding should sit flat against the board with no wobble or shifting.
Repeat the same process on the second binding, then check that both bindings feel even and symmetrical before stepping in.
4. Center the Strap Over Your Foot
The upgraded Snowboard Addiction Training Bindings use a secure integrated strap system designed to wrap comfortably over your foot. For the best fit, the strap should sit centered across your foot rather than pulling too far to one side.
- If your feet are smaller, shorten the strap position so it sits centered.
- If your feet are larger, extend the strap position before tightening.
- The Snowboard Addiction logo area should pull evenly across the top of your foot.
This keeps your foot secure without creating uncomfortable pressure points during longer training sessions.
5. Tighten the Ratchet Straps
Step into the binding and use the ratchet buckle to tighten the strap until your foot feels snug. You want a locked-in feel, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation or creates pain.
Before training, do a quick movement check:
- Your heel should not lift excessively.
- Your foot should not slide side to side.
- The strap should feel even across the top of your foot.
- You should still be able to flex naturally.
6. Test the Setup Before Training
Before jumping into tricks, do a few small balance movements, presses, and flat-ground reps. If your foot shifts around, tighten the strap or re-center it. If the binding feels uncomfortable, loosen it slightly and adjust the strap position.
Small setup changes make a big difference. A secure fit helps your board respond faster and makes every rep feel cleaner.
Quick Fit Troubleshooting
- Foot moving inside the binding? Tighten the ratchet and make sure the strap is centered over your foot.
- Pressure on one side of your foot? Reposition the strap so it pulls evenly across the top.
- Stance feels awkward? Move one insert position at a time until your knees and hips feel natural.
- Angles feel different from your snowboard? Match your on-snow stance angles as closely as possible.
- Training with smaller feet? Try wearing shoes inside the bindings for a more secure fit.
You're Ready To Train
Once your bindings are adjusted, you are ready to start stacking better reps. The upgraded Training Bindings are built for a cleaner, more responsive feel on your Jib Board or Tramp Board, with smooth rounded edges, a comfortable EVA footbed, and a secure fit that helps your off-snow training feel more natural.
Dial in the fit, check your stance, and get back to training.
