Great bindings guys! One thing that I found super helpful when centering ankle/toe straps - fitting the straps WHILE wearing your boots is a lot more effective as they can expand quite a bit with your feet actually in them. And you can identify pressure points before getting on the hill.
funny fact, Union states, please do not use loctite or similar stuff, but the original screws are covered with blue loctite 😂🤔😁 but great and simple video 👍
This needs an update. The Stratas hae a different high back adjustment thing.

Yeah, I got the version 2020 with the screw ;), why did they removed the simple mechanism and put something that requires a screwdriver? Is that progress?
@ The earlier design was overengineered and prone to breaking. Besides, if you want to buy the first model you can ask Noah how to go back in time, Bartosz ;)
I got thirtytwo tm2 US9 for medium union force binding which is under the recommended size. I cannot get down to 3~4 teeth when fully strapped while maintaining the straps centred... Is the binding too small for my boots?
Got a pair of Union Force M/L bindings. Having trouble getting the straps to ratchet with all the setting maxed out. I use a size 9.5 boot and the guide says these are good for up to 10? Any tips?
Hi Scott, Sorry for the late response. We're not on TH-cam to often. Sorry to hear that you're having troubles setting up your straps. If you're still having an issue please feel free to e-mail us at info@unionbindingcompany.com Thanks,
I got 16/17 union forces in medium and they have destroyed my uk9 vans boots around the heel even though they are recommended for that size. Bit whack.
I like the dude and also the video! But I want explanation about your advice to make flat the highback with edge of the board ? Why we need to do this?
im no expert but i assume making the highbacks flat with the edge can help initiate heelside turns more smoothly because the pressure point areas on the highback may change. i also believe it gives you a little more room to tweak grabs?
I just got forces for 260 dollars and he made it seem like the contact pros are better however they were anywhere from 200-230 from what I saw. Was just wondering if something changed and if the forces are the better model now?
hi, i have a 154cm k2 fatboy snowboad its wide, fits 12shoes but i feel its hard to maneuver and catches speed really fast, i'm 200lbs, 5'11. is the board too short as a beginner board, or i need to go snowboarding more often to develop skill?. should I get a 162" size board? various online snowboard sizing sites mention 161 to 163" for my weight height. please share any tips. thanks.
i set up my union bindings on my board but they seem too long for the board, like they hang over the edge by almost a centimetre on my toe side then if i shift it back it hangs off my heel side. Anything i can do to fix this other than get a bigger board?
I was trying to figure that out as well. Plus, he didn't make it look like he really put it in the other (heal) position. It looked as if it stayed in the spot closest to the edge of the board (closest to the toes). I was really trying to see if he moved it closer to the heal, but couldn't.
I set up the Union/Capita Stay Badass bindings size (M/L) with my size 10 K2 boots but I'm only able to get maybe 2 or 3 teeth into the ratchet even with the adjustable settings all the way to the max. Should I get a L/XL pair of bindings to accommodate the boots?
I don't think you're looking for an answer for this anymore but yes. i have my flite pros set up on a board that uses burton 3D but i have to use the burton 3D baseplate with my bindings for them to work :)
I try do adjust highback parallel with my board edge on my Union binding, but that cause my highback edge tip convex which might cause my boots hurt. Any suggestion? Thanks.
W Wang Don’t even bother to adjust, it doesn’t make any difference, just leave ur high back in the center, this whole high back rotation adjustment thing is a myth.
I have the 2020 flight pros and I was having a problem when I moved the heel cup to we’re it needed to be for my boots to be centered, it would slide back over the day riding and my heels would hang further off throughout the day. I tightened them well but it still happens
I've got a problem with the highback on my Forces(17th). If I rotate the highback it damages my boots because the corner of highback(which has the last hole for screw) fits too tight with them. Because of this I have to ride without rotation.
Hi Steve, Sorry for the late response. We're not on TH-cam to often. If your board has the 3D mounting pattern you may need to purchase our 3D/4x4 disc to be able to mount. You can find it here: www.c3-shop.com/union/all/parts/3-hole-discs-4x4-and-3-hole Thanks,
Got a set of union ultra forged carbon bindings with 4x2 plates but my board is 4x4 is there any way to mount these bindings on this board or am I stuck with a binding I can't use. There is no other plate in the binding and the 4x4 plate I have doesn't look like it would fit
Gela _ I tried every which way to mount. If the board was 4x2 and bindings 4x4 then you would be correct but the other way round does not work either laterally or longitudinally. I was wondering if there are 4x4 plates for the forge carbon bindings. Haven't managed to find a set though.
Darryl House you're right, I got it the other way round. Have you ever tried using a 4x4 plate with the bindings? I'm wondering if any 4x4 baseplate would work since they all look rather similar? Sorry tho, sucks to have the bindings and not being able to use them
Hi Darryl, Sorry for the late response. We're not on TH-cam to often. Unfortunately, the mini disc isn't compatible with the 4X4 pattern and we do not offer any 4x4 compatible discs for mini disc bindings. All of our standard disc bindings like the Atlas, Force, ST, and Flite Pro will work on the 4X4 pattern. Sorry for the troubles. Thanks,
Heelcup can be adjusted to center your boots in the binding. The toe strap being in the back to go over the toes is nonsense... run it however you think feels best!
I don't know why the holes are not lining up. I have union bindings and a never summer prototype 2 board. This should work but it isn't. What am I doing wrong
+UnionBindingCo looking to get the atlas binding for my new set up. I just purchased a pair of K2 size 11 boots. I'm on the over lap, should I go L/XL for bindings?
BURTON yes...BURTON!!!! Will have a different pair of screws and washers to use on their, channel system. You will need the female inserts to slide into the channel of the BURTON SNOWBOARD!!!! Made by BURTON!!!! They are BLACK screws and washers

Snowboarding has the best culture ever.
This one is better than the most recent one posted, don't delete this video
You had me at "beverage of your choice"
TH-cam’s been scrolling through a bunch of how-to’s while I’ve been adjusting my board. This ones the best haha
awesome, had to open my own beer and toast with this legend!
funny fact, Union states, please do not use loctite or similar stuff, but the original screws are covered with blue loctite 😂🤔😁
but great and simple video 👍
The Loctite on the supplied screws are not liquid and will not destroy the plastic (as opposed to the threadlock that you might use)
The beginning of the video is absolutely hillarious
Super helpful! still put them on backwards ! I suck! I forgot to grab a beverage :) y’all rock!
Wrapping your bolts in a little PTFE tape is amazing at keeping them tight.. I haven't had to tighten them since I started this trick!
just got a pair of T100's, can't wait to use them!

I knew I was wearing my strap somewhat correctly over the boot. People were calling me crazy!

I want those bindings and that guy too.
Super informative, great video guys!
The one screw trick made my base nipple out. :(
Its a brand new board to..
Great video! Very thorough and informative! Thanks!

g1995k got it. That’s right!

Whats the difference between your 4x4 channel discs and your 4x4 +3D discs because they look the same in the picture on the online shop
I just got forces for 260 dollars and he made it seem like the contact pros are better however they were anywhere from 200-230 from what I saw. Was just wondering if something changed and if the forces are the better model now?
just cuz its more expensive doesn't meann its better. sometimes it just costs more for materials
For the universal disc, can i screw in the holes that are 2cm apart if i want more stance width adjustability?
Is there a tutorial with Burton channel?
Following your instruction, I installed my SCOTT STEVENS Bindings. but where is the highback lean adjustment on that model?
JuliusJueLi it doesn’t have one - Scott Stevens doesn’t use forward lean therefore they removed the adjuster
Wait, you can adjust the toe strap in the front or back setting while the binding is mounted???
Yep!

You can angle your bindings more
Wait... why would i have my straps closer to my heels for the toe setting and farther from the heel with the on top setting?
I was trying to figure that out as well. Plus, he didn't make it look like he really put it in the other (heal) position. It looked as if it stayed in the spot closest to the edge of the board (closest to the toes). I was really trying to see if he moved it closer to the heal, but couldn't.

+UnionBindingCo I have the same problem, but with a 9,5 boot...
getting a flite pro for this season i think
Good choice!
Union Binding Company does flite pros work with burton 3d
I don't think you're looking for an answer for this anymore but yes. i have my flite pros set up on a board that uses burton 3D but i have to use the burton 3D baseplate with my bindings for them to work :)
hey will the minidisc 4x2 that come with the contact pros be compatible with the burton 3d pattern?
Just bought some Matte Red Union Force 2014's. Are they compatible with channel boards?
No, you'll need to get one of the newer 14/15 discs.
www.c3-shop.com
Slide the heel cup forward , could that slide different length into on left and right side on the same foot?
W Wang No, u can only slide it in and out, u r not suppose to rotate the heel cup
I try do adjust highback parallel with my board edge on my Union binding, but that cause my highback edge tip convex which might cause my boots hurt. Any suggestion? Thanks.

I have the same problem... can't seem to find a solution for it.
Same 😢
Same

And a beverage of your choice...(extended awkward smile) :D
If only I had a buck for every time this kid says 'go ahead'
If mine is a 3D designs would it still work
steve kim Yes.
steve kim you might need new base plates thi

hello, it is necessary to install the screws with the washer
Yes
I want that CAPiTA cup, where do I get that?!

Darryl House 4x2 plates should be compatible with 4x4, you just have less room for your stance adjustments

On this binding they are micro plates I haven't been able to find 4x4 discs anywhere yet.

So cool! 😂 thank you
when does it make sense to tweek my heelcup? and why does the toestrap has to be on the back setting to have it over the toes, does it realy matter?
Heelcup can be adjusted to center your boots in the binding. The toe strap being in the back to go over the toes is nonsense... run it however you think feels best!
Drink of choice nice!!
is it possible to set these up on 3D pattern boards?
I don't know why the holes are not lining up. I have union bindings and a never summer prototype 2 board. This should work but it isn't. What am I doing wrong
P Ark Do you have minidisk bindings? If so they only work with 4x2 mounting patterns and you’re board might have a 4x4 mounting pattern.
What size bindings were you using??
Those were M/L
What size board and boots are those?
155cm board and size 10 boots
+UnionBindingCo looking to get the atlas binding for my new set up. I just purchased a pair of K2 size 11 boots. I'm on the over lap, should I go L/XL for bindings?
Curtis MiLLER large
i have the 2015 union forces on a capita outdoor living , but the washer dont seem to fit
nvm got it haha
what size boot do u have? im buying that board too but im. not sure if it fits
+TeqHDcasper like if my boots are too big
I can barely get 1 teeth trough the ankle racker. I have a size 13 boot
Same here.. 2-3 teeth gets through.
What was the measure tape for?
Stance width. He didn't need it because he used the board's recommended width.
Здарова, щеглы! сегодня я научу вас ставить крепления! ыыык, пошла жара!
ROCKKKKKKK
Will this work with the burton 3D setup?
My bindings only came with 4 washers
Union rider "we don't conform to fools like burton"
But wears Nike boots
if i run 12, -12 when i adjust the high back it looks like its rotated too much and not parallel with the board ::
try 0-0
US brand?
Holy shit sick I never knew This whaaat
Anyone else came here with a channel mounting system and feels left alone? 💔
why was this so funny
BURTON yes...BURTON!!!! Will have a different pair of screws and washers to use on their, channel system. You will need the female inserts to slide into the channel of the BURTON SNOWBOARD!!!! Made by BURTON!!!! They are BLACK screws and washers
i fast forwarded each time he was taking alcohol. ..
Congrats
Just show us how to put the fucking bindings on bro lol
ЗОЖ
can i use the hardware the comes with my contact pros to mount to the channel or do i need smaller burton specific ones (the black ones)
