When I first bought this board it didn’t have all the parts I needed. There are unique screws for the bindings and the female parts for the board. I had the bindings for over a year because I couldn’t use them with other boards. I had to go back to the shop to get the female parts for the board. I know this whole process is cumbersome. I had to talk to lots of people and research about how to use the system. I feel like I went to university just to get all the knowledge of how to set up this Burton board and bindings. Hopefully this article saves you time and money if you’re thinking about going Burton.
I’ve been riding the Custom EST Bindings on a Custom Wide 158. I’ve noticed that I have had to tighten my front binding several times. There are only 2 points of contact for the binding and that makes the screws come loose much quicker. I have noticed when I’m out on the slopes and folks come up to me asking for my screwdriver that they are riding Burton boards. Burton boards originally came with a 3 hole triangle system that made mate sawed off. Why can’t they just use the 4 hole system that everyone else uses? It’s all about the Benjamins!
Once you have all the unique pieces for this setup it’s easy. You’ll just need a screwdriver. There are markings for width and binding angles. The bindings move toward the toeside edge and heelside edge smoothly. I do like that it is easy to move the bindings. I’ve just seen too many riders have the screws come loose and then the bindings move so they are riding a super wide stance.
Setup of Burton boards and EST Custom binding systems are quick but they come loose. I always carry a screwdriver in case binding screws come loose. I now need to carry glue or nail polish to keep these Burton Bindings tight.
