  • Where to install bindings on my Revolt Trees?

    Hello!
    I just got a pair of Revolt Trees 105 cm with receptor bindings. My question is very simple: the binding has to be put right in the middle of the skiboard, so that the distance between the edges of the binding and the ends of the skiboard to be the same in both sides?
    or i can install the binding with a few cm in the back of the skiboard(so that i will have more space - 2 to 4 cm- in front of the binding than in the back of the binding)?
    i'm asking this to know how can i get the highest performance from this pair or skiboards and bindings.
    if the bindings are right in the middle of the boards will be better than if they are installed more in the back(like normal skis)?
    Cheers.

    The bindings on my Revolts are mounted dead center. I suggest you start with them dead center on yours as well as that is the norm for most skiboards. If you are in deep powder or feel that you are having to lean back to keep your tips from catching you can adjust them and take advantage of the set-back inherent in the Receptors.

      Second the dead center approach. Most boots actually have a line to indicate center of foot. I usually adjust the rear bail so the line on the boot is dead center on the binding, then adjust the front bail for tightness.

        thanks both for the answers, but first answer was directly related to my situation.
        kirk-your answer is regarded to the BOOT/BINDING connection. i'm interested in your opinion about binding/skiboard connection.
        any advice on that? or do you have the same advice as wookie?

          The boards were designed to have the binding mounted dead centre, and then to mount the boot dead centre in the bindings. You can adjust this for personal taste but always start out with everything centre.

            Yeah - completely centered on all fronts. I mentioned the binding bail stuff because people tend to kind of guess at center when adjusting the bails, when there is an easy way to get it completely centered using the mark on the boots.

            Unlike traditional skis, your skiboards are designed completely symmetrical and are intended to be rode centered. If you set the bindings back, your center of weight will not align with the center of the sidecut, and it will feel a little "funny" when carving. This isn't much of an issue in real powder where you aren't carving, but for general riding I would always recommend a completely centered stance.
