It's weird that they added screws for the gas pedal, it used to be just snap-in

I think you'd want to move both bindings up .05" then add 0.25" out to get 21.5" width while staying twin. Moving your front foot forward would leave you with a longer nose and shorter tail.

The Process has a stance that is set back 0.5inch on the board even though it is a twin. So adding 0.5 inch forward on the front foot only gives me 21.5 inch stance exactly centred on the twin board.

@@nevlapwood I'm really trying not to be that keyboard warrior or internet troll. Over the years, I've had four or five processes, and I'm a much better gear nerd than an actual snowboarder. Grab a tape measure and pull 20" (or whatever you feel like) out. Put your fingers on 8" and 12" to mimic a centred stance, then move them both back 0.5" to 7.5" and 11.5" to mimic the 0.5" setback. Now move ONLY one finger up 0.5" closer to the 20" (or closer to 0 if you feel like it) end of the tape measure. That's what you're doing. You will see that you have 7.5"tail and 8" nose. If you had a 0.5 " setback on a true twin board (or anything), you'd have 0.5" more nose and -0.5" less tail, which would equal 1.0" more nose than tail. Moving only the front foot up, reduces the nose by only 0.5", which doesn't cover the full 1.0" parity to be true twin again. To be centred on the board, you need to move BOTH bindings up 0.5". Then move both bindings apart from each other 0.25" to get 21.5" (And if you REALLY want to be nerdy about it, you'll see the marking on the burton boards aren't exact. I have my process bindings moved up around 0.45" to get a closer measurement to be equal nose and tail) Again, I'm not trying to troll you. Been a member for almost a decade and watch and love all of your videos!

@@maxnguyen2875 You are right, I guess I'm a quarter-inch setback without realizing it. I've ridden the board for 4-5 days like this, and it's close enough to center that I didn't feel any difference. Cheers. The board bindings setup feels great. More forgiving and playful than what I was on last year. Burton custom with Ion boots. I'm leaning towards more comfort and maneuverability.

@@nevlapwood Ya I hear that. I have a custom sitting on my rack collecting dust. I do appreciate your video. I'm thinking EST cartel Step on next year. And one of the new boots they have coming. By the time I get my kids strapped in, then strap myself in, they are at the bottom of the hill. I also felt that delay you spoke about. I figured craking the forward lean would reduce that dead spot but I don't love having too much lean.

[@maxnguyen2875]

@ you going to be full time step on this year?

[@mr.pickles4431]

go basic binding ,that's it!

[@nevlapwood]

Nothing wrong with traditional bindings. Both work fine
