I saw those articles, but would sort of like a "Setting up plate bindings for dummies" type of article. No, I'm not suggesting I'm dumb!
Lots of technical knowledge in those articles, but they read like they are geared toward established riders that are looking to tweak as opposed to someone just starting up.
Here's what I did with my new board...
I fit my boots to the bindings first and then, while standing over the board, rotated them on the plates until they were just shy of getting to the edges.
Now I'm going to install 3 degree cant disks on front and back and will adjust the cant/lift until I am fairly comfortable just standing on the board. I'll tweak from there based on where my weight is while carving and how the board acts. I'm very uncomfortable standing flat on the board or with just one disk. I broke a bunch of joints in various rock climbing falls and injured my knees skiing. So my setup will be for comfort instead of performance.
I have a 6 degree disk as well in case I decide I want to use that.
Once I get it dialed in, I'll sell whatever disk(s) I don't use.
