Your channel may be small, but it's been so helpful for me trying to find the right equipment for myself. I'd just rented before and it was intimidating looking through all the options out there when I was ready to get my own gear, but you've helped make it much easier to find the right stuff for me.

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Thank you, that's so great to hear! I'm planning on making some more in depth gear buying guides this fall, so keep a look out for those.

[@Landoftheignorant]

THIS. Dudes got a lot of information a lot of these channels aren’t even thinking about.

[@Landoftheignorant]

Just based solely on your camber video, and the little plastic boards you had on the table, it explained so much more than any of the other videos I’ve watched. You’re doing solid work brother, you gained a sub, for what it’s worth.

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Thanks dude, got a ton more coming and they're only gonna get better!

[@stuart84632]

I am loving the short precise videos with information

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Thanks, got a bunch more on the way!

[@chrisjames5823]

Just wanna say thank you. Your vids are giving me so much more info than i ever had. Even after watching countless other videos.

[@Penguinchubb0]

You make everything so simple to understand. I appreciate it deeply!!! I enjoyed the one about measuring stance and angles too

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Glad these videos have helped you understand better. Stay tuned for more like this coming next fall!

[@amc1634]

Very helpful for those who are starting snowboarding! Especially, me thank for taking time to make the video

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

You got it, stay tuned for more videos like this

[@lucasrocha633]

very helpful channel congrats. do you have Hiback video? I've push my Hiback to forward and OMG is perfect balance, it's very weird for me using Hiback at almost 90 deegres angle.

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

I don't have a video on that currently, but I will have one all about high back adjustments this fall. Thanks, and stay tuned!

[@gabrielacuna8530]

What’s your take on binding overhang?

[@davidmichell5337]

Should I get a wide board if my bindings are sticking out about 3/4 of an inch

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Most likely, what size boot do you have? Your binding shouldn't be wider than your board

[@vajona2495]

I am buying a korua otto, with burton malavita and ion boots. Do these items work well together?

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Yeah, that sounds like an awesome setup!

[@johandanisi5732]

Hi. I bought a snowboard 2x4 system and I have a old Burton custom 2017 with reflex 4x4 hinge disc, my question is. Which screws are the proper to install? the silver m6 x 16 mm?

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

If you're mounting bindings on the Burton EST channel, you'll wan to use Burton's black M6 X 13 mm screws

[@johandanisi5732]

[@chazladtheboss9606]

does that black burton est screw come with burton boards that use the system or do i have to buy some

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

They come with Burton bindings, and some other companies give them with their bindings too. You could probably grab some for free from a shop if you don't have any

[@BirSubbles]

Hi, I am looking to buy some new bindings. I've done some research and determined that Union bindings would be a good fit for my budget, and riding style. The issue/concern is determining weather a mini disk or regular disk would be better. I haven't found much information regarding snowboard disk size. Is there really any difference? I am a somewhat new/intermediate rider, any advise would be appreciated.

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Yeah I can help for sure. The disk size is not relative to ability level, but rather desired feel from the binding. The mini disk will give you a little more play under the baseplate of the binding, giving a surfier feel. The regular disk will be just like any other binding and feel more solid underfoot.

[@hannahbeltman9953]

Hey man! I really love your videos, you make it a lot easier to navigate through all these endless options. Can you please give me some advice? I just bought my first board, the Capita Birds of a Feather 2025, and I have the Vans Encore OG (womens). I was thinking about going for the cheaper Salomon Pacts, but I am not sure if they'll be a good fit. Other bindings I consider are the Union Rosa, Salomon EDB, Union Str, Union Flite Pro.. I don't know how to make a good call on this. My boot sixe is 40,5. I hope you can help me.

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Try not to stress the binding choice too much, you've already made a great decision on the board. The STR is solid. The Filite Pro is a kids binding, I don't know too much about the others though. Glad the content has been helping you get dialed!

[@kylesoliman2412]

Hey there, I have this years atlas and thinking of getting the pro. I have a Capita Mercury and a super doa. I usually do all mountain riding and barely any park. Usually jumps and side hits. Worth the upgrade to getting the pros or keeping the regular atlas? Thanks and cheers!

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

It's really a question of how you prefer your bindings. The Pros are quite stiffer than the regular Atlas, so if you want a step up in an aggressive ride with a stiffer binding go for the pro. I was having the same decision this year, and I stuck with the regular Atlas because I felt I didn't need much stiffer

[@kylesoliman2412]

@@SearchofSnowboarding thanks for responding, I figured as well. I ended up just getting the regular atlas! I have a pair of stratas. What binding would you recommend for the super doa?

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

@@kylesoliman2412 Nice, probably the Atlas for the Super DOA. I'd put the Stratas on a softer board if you have one

[@cel.0607]

Hey man, thanks for the video. Im planning on buying a new board for the next season. I thought of the nitro team 2023 in comination with the nitro team bindings 2023. The board is mostly for the slopes and also for powder/off piste in general. I would sag that Im quite a good boarder, not like super good but solid. What do you think of the Board and binding or do you have some different suggestions (especially for the binding)?

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

Sweet! The Nitro Team is a great board to do it all, though it won't ride powder as easy as some other All Mountain boards. Nitro bindings are fine, but I've seen people have some issues with them, like breaking components and not being able to find replacement parts. I would maybe steer towards something like the Union Atlas. That would be a great pair with the Nitro Team, you could also check out Burton Malavitas

[@cel.0607]

@@SearchofSnowboarding Thanks so much!

[@cel.0607]

@@SearchofSnowboarding do you think the salomon dialogue, the burton Felix or the Ride deadbolt zonal would be a good fit to the board and the atlas bindings or have you already had experience with these?

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

@@cel.0607 Don't get the Burton Felix. The other two options are nice, I personally have Ride boots but that's because they fit my foot well

Totally. The Cartel is a great binding, I had ridden them for a long time back in the day in the park and pipe

@@SearchofSnowboarding thanks 😊

[@oracle2608]

Hey thanks for your work ! I saw your video on the step on X bindings, i am not sure that X version is necessary for the begginer i am but i really want the step on model, carbon fiber is big plus it should be unbreakable and really lighter isnt it ? also im lost into boards, i see many boards in second hand like burton fort 70$ I really want to put the price into good bindings and boots, but for the board, im not sure if a good board like the DOA would be too much or just perfect to me for learning on good materials I learned on a 163 rental board im interested into a 159W model, i want something handy, manageable, i am 192 cm and 85kg ( 6.3" and 187 pounds ? ) Thanks a lot by advance, i love your content !

[@oracle2608]

Also im not even sure the step on burton can go on capita ´s boards?

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

The Step On X is not too much lighter than the regular Step On binding and carbon fiber does not mean unbreakable. In the cold carbon fiber can actually be more fragile. As a beginner, save the money and just get the regular Step On bindings. The biggest thing to keep in mind with second hand boards is that they are usually older. The newer technology in new boards can make them easier to ride like on the DOA. Thanks, hope that helps!

[@SearchofSnowboarding]

And yes the Step Ons can mount on any board including all Capitas
