I have previously had 2 Burton boards and a Ride board but i have never heard of Nitro. Are they good?

I have a brand new Burton snowboard and binding. Last night, I screwed in my bindings and they were perfect- angled and sturdy. then, when I went to try out my board today, my bindings were really loose- i could actually spin them in circles. I checked the screws and they were tight and my disc (i have a unidisc) was in place. I am afraid that there is a simple solution to my problem that I haven't figured out. Any suggestions???

With a 164 Burton Baron ES is supposed to be used with Burton Size large bindings... What problems might there be mounting or riding with medium sized bindings?

I'm planning to get maybe Relay E/Antidote bindings (Any ideas on which one to get?) and the F22W boots from Salomon, with the Burton Feather. I was just wondering if the bindings would fit with the board? And if say, size 7/8 boots with the Medium bindings?

My shoe size is about 8 and I really don't have anywhere to go try on the boots or the bindings, so I'm kind of stuck on terms of knowing what size I need. I'm just starting out boarding and have only gone a couple times, but I'm getting a season pass up to one of the local mountains and planning on going lots later on.

Any additional info you need just ask. Thanks!

How well would a snowboard completely made out of wood work? What are the pros and cons of an all-wooden snowboard?

I have the chance to get a burton dominant board for very cheap, but its the non slick model. Im going to be spending all of my time in the terrain park jibbing, will the non slick model be that much noticeably different than the slick model?

Hello. Im sure you all get a lot of questions like this so I appologize. I went snowboarding yesterday for the first time and i had a really hard time with turning. I think the board might have been too big, but thats what they sized me up with at the resort. One thing that might have made it difficult was that there was a lot of ice, and very little snow. Im 5'11", size 11 or 11.5 shoe, and only 145 lbs, give or take a few. From what ive been seeing i should use a 155cm size board. The resort gave me a 159cm wide board. Anybody have any ideas on what i should get? I just want something for practicing, or learning i should say.
Thank you.

The 163 will come up to my chin but I think it would be better if it was up to my bottom lip or so since I'm going to places in the rockies and canada where there are nice big long runs and I can do long carving. Should I get a 166 custom instead of the 163w vapor?????
