 Poster: A snowHead

Can you buy snowboard binding discs that move freely rather than being set at a specific angle?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

do you mean rental discs, which will allow you to set the angle with a quick release?
If not, can you explain what you do mean?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I don't understand the question either ....
Snowboard discs have 120 increments IIRC, so 3 degs ....... are you trying to split that?
If not what are you looking to do? A little more info might get the answer you need

Thanks for the reply, I mean when the bindings are attached and your foot is strapped in, your foot is able to move freely I.e. from a 15°/0° stance to a 30°/15° stance whilest on the slopes. This could even allow the ability to switch from riding regular to goofy and Visa versa, all without having to stop and adjust the angle of your binding. Does anyone make a disc that allows this?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I doubt it's been tried beyond 'noboarding',
i.e. No binding at all.
Without locking the angle during riding you wouldn't be able to properly apply pressure to an edge without it slipping.

And with that you definitely don't want your feet to move much at all, and definitely not when loaded.
Whilst you're not really rotating your feet, I doubt very much that the mechanics of no rotational friction would work at all. Sounds scary.

The channel system on Burton and Endeavour boards allows you to set the angle to pretty much whatever you like, also the stance width, and centre lines.
To set them up you loosen the the screws and wiggle your feet around until it feels right, then do up the screws.
I don't know why you would, but theoretically you could ride with these a bit loose, but I think it's a pretty bad idea.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

My oldest daughter rides est bindings on an endeavour and doesn’t like turning. Her idea of snowboarding is straight lining everything at warp 9
I’ve just popped out to the shed and loosened a few bolts on her board.
Will report back with results next weekend
