How to Mount a Binding to a Snowboard

Snowboards use bindings where the boot either is strapped in or clipped in. Because a snowboard is simple in design, it is a straightforward procedure to mount the bindings to the board. Almost every snowboard comes with a set of predrilled holes that allow the binding to be placed in a variety of positions on the board. No matter if you ride goofy or flat, the board has the holes to accommodate the stance.
