noobie question about alpine snowboards

Recommended Posts

hi guys im new here. ive been snowboarding for a long time, but never tried alpine snowboards.

i have a question about cant(?) discs? actually im not even sure if thats what they are called. its those little wedges that go between the binding and board.

what exactly do they do? i was looking at some pictures and noticed that some people use them, some dont. so im guessing its not a must-use. i saw my cousins alpine board and he only had one on the rear foot. are there any other different angles? because it didn't look like it was adjustable.

sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but i seriously couldn't find the information anywhere! thanks a lot guys

i think that should give you a general idea. both of those articles have been useful for me as far as the technical jargon is concerned. the rest will have to wait till there's some snow on the slopes.
