Titan Snowboard
2011
Is it a big deal to snowboard with step in boots, with strap on bindings?
So I’m a beginner and I just bought these Titan snowboard boots on ebay for $10. When I got them they had a metal thing on the sole. I looked it up and there a different binding system then my board has. The shoes are “step in” and my bindings are “strap on”, but I tried them on with the board and they feel fine. I was thinking about just removing the metal on the bottom and using them. Is that a big deal? I don’t want to get laughed at, please advise.
Boots aren’t boots. There are many variables in different boot designs. But in youre case, if you can take off the step in hardware and the boots fit into the bindings correctly, they will work, BUT:
Step in boots are usually made pretty stiff because they dont have the support of the high back and straps of strap or flow bindings. If you’re a beginner, using stiff step in boots along with the added stiffness of strap bindings will make it harder to learn to snowboard and might lead to some more falls. Beginners are almost always given more flexible boots to learn on because they are much more forgiving. As you get better, you’ll want stiffer boots for more precise and harder turning ability.
If you look around, you’ll see a lot of beginners to the sport go out and buy the top of the line expert boots and boards so they look cool and then have a hell of a time learning. Specially with boots, there is a reason there are beginner and expert boots.

Titan $4.16 Titan Alpha has landed: the most complex man-made object to reach Saturn’s largest moon. The ten thousand men and women of Habitat Goddard are once more at the frontier of science. From their huge, artificial paradise hanging in orbit above Saturn, some of them dream of landing on Titan’s surface. Others will do anything to prevent such a landing. And yet others have darker, secret plans. But almost immediately, Titan Alpha goes silent. And minor, inexplicable faults start to affect Goddard. Is there a basic design flaw that could threaten the lives of everyone on board? Or has one of the many malcontents exiled to space decided to sabotage the probe or even the whole expedition? The newest chapter in Ben Bova’s epic of space exploration brings to vivid, awe-inspiring life a barren world of swirling smog, frozen methane seas – and perhaps even a new sentient life form. |
