| Bindings are also a very important piece of equipment. You want to have a decent pair of bindings. So you will be sure they will not break when your riding. Make sure they’re adjustable to you stance. That they have the right base plate and high back stiffness. Make sure you have a leash when removing the board at the top and bottom of the hill so it does not run away from you. |
