hi, hope someone can help me about this board and the bindings i got with it. i got the snowtrooper on sale with rome targa bindings. is the targas a totall miss with this board? are they going to be way to stiff? im am not doing park or big jumps. just groomers and treeruns. will the targas be to stiff for this board? please help
I feel like many people get way too obsessive about which bindings to pair with which board. In my mind there is a ton of space for preference. Try riding the board and bindings for 5 days or so then make a decision about whether or not YOU like the setup.
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 was going to cancel the targas and go for rome 390, but was to late and they shipped the targas. it will be too expensive to send it back i think because of customs. so i hope the targas wil work out on the snowtrooper. anyone who have tested a similar setup?
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.
You can get more flex out of stiff binding by adjusting forward lean and controlling how tight the straps are. It's hard to get more stiffness out of a flexy binding.
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.
I had '12 Targas on an SL (roughly the Snowtrooper's predecessor) briefly. They were a decent match. I'm not a huge fan of metal baseplates myself - that's personal preference though.
