Jimmy is the type of guy I would watch to see if there are nuggets of information that I did not consider even though I've mounted my bindings dozens of time. Thanks for the brush up Jimmy!

[Caedes]

Just starting out and yeah, this helped massivly, simple and easy to parse the information, loved the "how to find if your goofy or not" too

[dieside]

I just wanted to say this video really helped me tune my board in how I like it thank you

[Laurakeetc]

Thanks so much!! My first snowboard comes in the mail today :) :) :) super informative, entertaining with chill music.

[AznCracker]

very thorough video! Don't even have Jones bindings but this was helpful for adjusting any bindings.

[mayamisyuk]

Wow literally the best and easiest video to follow thankyou so much for this video it was so helpful :))

Question about boot centering—don’t you want equal toe and heel overhang when centering your boots? Rather than have too much toe overhang and no heel? Or is it a personal preference?

[xpez]

something about mounting bindings to consider that I didnt hear him go over is your boot. Whats the point of mounting your bindings at zero if you boot toe is hanging over the board? it will scrape on the snow and can even cause snow to catch and just make your deeper leaning turns less satisfying. Make sure your boot clearance is enough and if you do have some toe over hang angle your boots accordingly to minimize the overhang. You body and legs will adapt to the whichever stance you keep on the board within a certain normal range. It took several trips to get used to riding with a wider stance and front and rear at positive and negative angles respectively back in the day as I recall when it was a newer idea in the early 90s.... Just like learning to ride switch takes a while to get used to it..

His #2 Philips screw driver is a #3. The m6 screws are also a #3.

Great video Jones. With enough forward lean you’ definitely apply additional energy to the toe edge. Nothing on rotating the high back, or torsional flex of board due foot angles.

[Muadiii]

ahhh... tis the season of YouTube snowboard content. You love to see it! :D

[tobiaswinter]

Awesome Video! I'm ready to try this myself 🤘🏻

[DazDaz]

I have only ever used a number 3 screwdriver for the mounting screws - are the ones from Jones a different size or something?

[Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Yo Goodman! Great video! Love the tip of mounting first bolt w/o washer! People ask all the time, whether the NOW screws are too short....
Love your angle recommendations, too! This '15/-15 as a starting point' nonsense needs to end ;-) Pretty sure the appropriate screwdriver is a #3, though! Great to see some education for the community!

[Josie]

I have a 09 k2 brigade wide with 2022 Burton cartel bindings and I don’t have enough adjustability to keep my heels from hanging. And ideas? Im size 11 in boots

[rustynailriders]

Can you add a module on changing the bushings from surf to free ride for skeet tech bindings?

[GrenYT]

How do I know which edge of the snowboard the toes should point to?

[njebarr]

I have always set up my bindings daffy but since I got my flagship I don't ride switch, so should I actually set my back foot pointing slightly forwards?? I'd never even considered it! Does it improve your carving?

[robertivaniszyn]

Interesting about the washer/no washer thing. Never heard of that. What's the benefit exactly?

[seankelsey]

Never seen disk placed that way.. always for width adjustment not heel toe adjustment?
