okey, thanks for the tip. ill try that. is it like 50% harder to ride on a stiff binding comperd to loose? i have only ridden union flite pro so far and i find them to be too loose on my skate banana. maybe ill be lucky with the targa and find out i like siff bindings. so long its not much harder to learn on since im still a beginner. the snowtrooper and the targas will be used next season.

I haven't ridden a Snowtrooper but I have targas. They are a versatile and pretty highly adjustable binding. I personally like a stiff supportive binding and tend to crank down the ankle straps pretty hard. You can set them up to allow more movement/flexibility if you set up the ankle strap lower and more over your foot. You don't have to crank down really hard on the strap either that's just my preference.

Mine are on a Smokin Awesym btw.

nice, sounds like i can like the targas then :). so set the forwardlean to zero, and not that tight on the ankelstraps will make it less stiff. but when i want to lower the ankelstrap, do i put it in the first of the 3 holes?. i can see how you lower the straps on katana, but no vids of how you lower the straps on the targa :/

Yup. Just experiment with the settings. Within a few days, you probably figure out how to adjust the straps, how much to ratchet them down, and how much forward lean to use. Modern binding are easy to adjust so if you have a tool you can tweak them several times through out the day.
