After cleaning up Dan's toeside and heelside turns, Nev had a few more tips to help improve his overall riding. Adjusting your forward lean can help keep you in an athletic body position so you're ready for anything the mountain throws at you! For those of you that don't know the benefits of forward lean, take a lap with Nev and Dan as they show you what it can do!

It is called loctite and color coded for the applications. Love ur tutorials Nev!
Get Blue loctite as it's strong but not permanent! Red loctite is more permanent and difficult to break free.
@@JackOfTrades12u ever try yellow
Came here to say this !
Orange for cold weather applications
You are such a good teacher and your videos are super useful for all the people who can't afford snowboarding lessons 🙂
Tried this just today. It gave me such a better feeling on the board! Thank you, Nev!
Thanks to your videos I was able to learn to snowboard in an hour!
Can’t wait to put all this info to good use tomorrow!!!
This helped so much. I adjusted on more notch.
That’s why my feet were getting so easily fatigue after couple of heels and toe turns. Had to rest each couple turn I do but it made sense when I was going through lots of bumps had a lot of absorption going but so tiring on the legs.
Great stuff!
Teaching my son and nephew in a few weeks. 15 and 16. Then will teach my daughter next season 5
The best snowboarding channel on RUclips! Thank you for your lessons 🙂
best tool ever!
the blue bit on it is probably thread locker, you can pick up some at your local hardware/auto store. even a walmart/whatever. apply a tad bit onto the bolt threads and tighten her down.
Make sure you use a decent number #3 PH screwdriver when mounting the bindings and you will reduce chewing up the bolts.
Great!💯
nothing says snowboarding like a screwdriver with a beer opener
Great video. Lead foot forward lean is very much linked to responsiveness, getting to your heel edge quickly and powerfully. I find softer highbacks require a notch more to compensate for when the response kicks in. I also run one notch more in my lead fit to match natural stance. Hope this helps!
I use blue thread locker to help the screws stay in place. I would recommend using blue thread locker even with new screws, just make sure you don't use the permanent or other types of red thread locker.
I've heard rumors that using thread lock will cancel out your warranty. Something about it eating plastic it comes in contact with.
There’s one called vibratite vc-3 that lasts multiple uses, whereas I’ve had the blue stuff crack and come off when removing the bindings. It’s colored red, but it’s not permanent like the red one from loctite. The vibratite one is also supposed to dry before screwing them in.
@@trudgemankPhD if the screws have a thin coat of oil on them, or a little dirty, the loctite will come off easier. If you clean the screws and inserts prior to applying it might work a little too well.
Should there be a gap from the bottom of your boot to the binding, because what I notice is that it just pushes my boot forward more
I'm using loctite on my screws works great.
Me 2!
Thank u for your suggestion and I definitely find the forward leaning is helping my toe side a lot, but seems like my heel side becomes harder as I will need to pick up my toes even more? Will that be the case?
Forward lean won't really affect your toeside much at all as your boot will pull away from the highback anyway and so it's the stiffness of your boot that comes into play. Lots of forward lean will prevent you from having to pick up your toes and prevent you sticking your butt out in order to get a high heel-side edge angle. Too much forward lean might make your ride feel twitchy and catchy on the heel side and will also cause more fatigue in your thighs and calves but you can get used to that.
cool to see you guys dont use those foot straps. my local resort now forces everyone to use them for some idiotic reason, probably since management has no idea how to ride a snowboard.
Interesting, you can't even get them with bindings anymore as so few resorts require them. Bummer for you tho
Really? That's more of a 90s thing. I haven't seen a leash since like 2000
@@-tr0n Still the case in many places - Italy for example.
Isn't this Salomon Pact bindings from 2012?
Hell ya Nev!
I ride regular with forward lean but do you want to change that when learning tricks in the terrain park?
Just don't use too much FL. A little bit is ok though
Are we supposed to setup both left and right binding with the same forward lean angle? I just found out my left and right binding was setup with different angle from the place I bought many years ago. Thank you.
Yes! Same for both feet.
Just reiterating what others have said. Use blue loctite to secure your screws, but not permanently (that’s red loctite).
Just a drop or two on the threads will do.
Hey Nev! What snowboard boots do you use?
Love my Ions! And the leather is awesome.
I read that forward lean leads to more chatter on a snowboard on the heel side edge as it takes more contact by putting the board on a high edge angle which leads slippage on steeps. Thoughts?
We never noticed. Just feels nice to ride with.
When snowboarding my forward shin tends to start hurting. Would more forward lean help?
you might be tightening your boots too hard. if you need to tighten your boots to that point in order to keep your heel down, consider trying different boots
👍
my bindings have no forward lean adjuster, it's flux bindings, they are pretty soft too, are they just no good for more advanced freestyle riding?
Pickup some stiffer Burton's or Union's, world of difference
@@Wesley-xo9jn interesting, might give union contact pro a go?
soft and no FL? i’d say they are freesyle specific. they might not be good for carving or powder. the only things in freestyle where you might want stiffer bindings or more FL are pipe and freaking bigass jumps
I noticed you both wear your goggle strap under your helmet, any particular reason for that? Thanks!
Depends on how you like your helmet to fit. Outside the helmet is Taevis's style tho!
Got a Jones mountain twin 160 and a NS Premiere f1 161.
I am 1.82 85 kg. Are they too big? I see lately everybody for whatever reason is downsizing...
Absolutely not. I'm about the same weight (height is basically irrelevant for sizing nowadays) and ride everything from 157-170 cm, but have a rossignol sushi (144) for comparison. Anything between 155 and 163 is likely the right size for you for everything except park, and honestly size ranges are overrated, anyone can ride just about anything given enough practice on it. I just built a 180 and it honestly doesn't feel that outrageous to ride.
Also people are downsizing more as short-fat boards are becoming more popular. For more normal waste widths at your size (25-26 cm) you wouldn't want a shorter board, unless you have tiny feet. Once you get to 27+ it makes sense to downsize.
I got new boots with more forward lean and hate them! They just make me feel like I am going to be pushed to my front edge all the time. I cannot stay on my heal edge comfortably. Just want to roll forward to my toe edge. 10+ days on the boots and I still can’t get used to them. What gives??
Boots should't effect your forward lean🤷♂️
If you want a lot of forward lean go slow, I added a lot one day and it was miserable and painful to ride all day
I am not a fan of forward lean. The theory is great and I used it for years. But I changed it for less angle because it got my legs burning and it wasn't so playful for freestyle. I am talking about me and my riding, obviously. I guess that it works for other people. The thing is, I need to be able to stretch my legs entirely.
Although, can be a good solution for those learners that never bend the knees but they swear they are doing it 😂.
Where did your legs burn with the forward lean? Im trying to fix some problems so im curious
@@richburmond6761 cause if your knees are always a little bent, your muscles work more and they get sore faster. if they are straight when they shouldn’t you’ll wash out a lot on heel edge and put unnecessary stress on knee joints though. i crank it up a notch in powder or icy conditions, down when i wanna practice butters
"when blue thing disappear buy new screws" that's what a non biker would say, it's called thread lock, you can buy it and reapply to the screws, blue one is medium strenght of 20nm it is usually the right one for the job
A lot of snowboard binding screws actually come with a nylon bead that runs the length of the screw, which will get worn out over time - I wouldn't recommend using thread lock on your snowboard inserts as it could damage them! :)
where is that?
Whistler Canada! That's where we are based!
Use a lot of the red thread locker.
Is wearing googles underneath the helmet dangerous?
why would you think that? i don't see how that would be that case
No. If you need more proof many pros and backcountry riders do it, and I've never heard of anything going wrong.
Honestly I wouldn't do it as my goggles fog so much, and I wouldn't want to take my helmet off every time I had to defog them.
@@adaml5473 It can potentially create a pressure point on the back of your head, which might be a problem if you hit your head hard during a fall.
I tried it and had to change back in the gondola. Not comfortable at all 😶
No. There are different reasons for wearing your goggles over or under your helmet, but I think that for most riders it's a style thing.
Some people will wear their goggles under their helmet to prevent the goggles from slingshotting off in the occasion of a fall in the park or in powder, since goggle clips on helmets can be unreliable (or sometimes non-existent). I do this with my park helmet, and position my goggle strap a little lower around the back of my head before putting on my helmet. Different goggle straps may cause pressure points under a helmet, which you will want to avoid.
Wearing your goggles over your helmet allows you to more easily pull them off to clean/change/defog your lenses and can be more comfortable. I do this with my lighter-weight helmet which I use for splitboarding/slackcountry, and on groomer days with my friends.

Red loctite all day!
is forward lean recommended for park?
Yes! i ride the burtons on level 2 forward lean.
"The blue stuff" is a type of loctite, if the screws are in ok shape, then instead of buying new screws, just get a small bottle of loctite, the blue one. Not the super strong one.
Personally I would always recomend buying new hardware and not risk damaging your boards inserts! You might know how to use locktite but if you don't, its a super fast way to damage your inserts! 😊
@@SnowboardAddiction I get it, but like I said " if the screws are in ok shape" Then its just unnecessary and wasteful to throw away a pair of perfectly good screws. And that comes from my proffesional mechanical, and industrial engineering opinion, and not just as a snowboarder. Its not alot of money I know, But depending on what you buy in the first place and what you have athome, its just ignorant to go online get 8 screws shipped home to you, from wherever you live. If you want to think about the enviroment and emissions, aswell as wasting stuff that is ok to reuse and not just convinient habits. Best regards buddy.
Addition: The screws is not usually being streched out or scuffed so bad, that it will affect the insert. Atleast if you did it right in the first place. I can understand if youre a proffesional snowboarder/youtuber or switching your stance every other run, but not for the common rider. If you overtorque everything and strip them, sure. :)
Skids out too much going into toe-side turns.

My snowboarding lessons are all trial and error.
highbacks are for posers. Mike Ranquet is still right
My Rome bindings specifically say not to use loctite 🤨🫠
