Answer 1

You could always find what you want online because generally there are very good deals but if you want an actual you could try these sites:

Stores:

http://www.proboardshop.com/

http://www.skisite.com/shopsList.cfm?sta...

http://www.damageboardshop.com/snow.php

Online:

http://www.dogfunk.com/

http://www.backcountry.com/

http://www.the-house.com/

http://www.extremegear.com/

Once you find the board you want, go to the company's website and most of the time, there will be a place where you can locate stores that sell that brand in your area. Also look around online a lot for the best deals before buying in stores. One of my favourite sites to use for this is:

there are either 3 or 4 screws that you put through the baseplate of the binding which attach the bindings to the board.

Answer 2

A good place to read reviews on snowboards http://snowboardsreviews.com.  Your bindings should come with 4 screws.  Those will s***w into your snowboard, attaching the bindings to it.

Hey buddy. Here is a link that will tell you everything you need to know about picking the right board boots and bindings: http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/forum/for...

Answer 4

Your bindings will come with a base plate and screws.  Your board will either come with two sets of holes, each set with two parallel lines with four holes each.  Or if you buy a Burton, you'll have to use their funny mounting system 3D pattern (I think that's what it's called?)  Unless you buy an ICS board.  In that case you'll need either EST bindings or conversion plates to fit regular bindings onto the ICS board.  But there's no point in buying an ICS board without the EST bindings.

Anyways, if you find yourself with any company as your bindings and a different company as your board, you should be fine.  However, if one company is Burton and the other isn't, you'll need different base plates to match the board with the binding.  You could contact the companies for it, or go to a shop.

Your base plate is separate from the rest of your binding.  That allows it to stay in place, but allows you to adjust your binding angle.  Once you s***w it in though, it shouldn't move.  Mounting bindings is probably the simplest thing you can do on your board.  Stand on it without the bindings and find a place where you feel comfortable.  Either mark it or memorize it and s***w it on.  You're pretty much done.  If you don't know what angle you use, try it out.  Strap in at home.  If it feels right, you're fine.  If not, adjust it.  All it takes is a screwdriver, some time (if you're not sure what to do), and some common sense.

If you don't know your angles, start with something like 12 degrees in the front, and -5 in the back.  I ride 15 in the front and -15 in the back.
