SNOWBOARD STOMP PAD
What is a snowboard stomp pad?Snowboard stomp Pad is a rubbery or foamy (or whatever material that has high friction) pad that is attached to the top of the snowboard so you can stand on it, when your back foot is not strapped into the snowboard binding. Snowboard surface is slippery, especialy when it is wet from snow. So when your back foot is unbuckled like, when you go on a ski lift, get off the ski lift or just traverse a flat section of the slope, you put our back foot on the stomp pad. Because the stomp pad is generaly made of rubber (and has anti skid profile) and so are the soles of our snowboard boots, they stick together much better than snowboard boots and snowboard surface. With stomp pad we can even make some easy turns, use the edge of the snowboard, stop when we need to without wiping out etc... Who should use a stomp pad on a snowboard?Stomp pad is very useful for beginners and not so experienced riders. Stomp pad helps them control the snowboard when the back feet is out of the binding. Now if we are really experienced and have total control of our snowboard we can do all that without the stomp pad. But stop pad makes it easier. How to attach a stomp pad to a snowboard?Stomp pad comes with a layer of strong glue on the bottom side. First thing you need to do is mark the spot where you will put your stomp pad. Stomp pad comes right infront of your back binding, that means in between the snowboard bindings. Put your snowboard boot just infront of the back binding and make a spot under the center of the boot. This will help you not to glue your stomp pad to close to the binding, where you cant stomp it so well. Next thing you need to do, when attaching a stomp pad, is clean the top of your snowboard. Remove all the dust, oil, blood, sperm, marijuana and other stuff from the deck. Wipe it clean and let it dry. Make sure you are inside, if it is too cold, the glue gets harder and it will be less durable. Also, dont wipe off the X that marks where to put your stomp pad :) And finally, remove the paper/plastic/whatever from the bottom of the stomp pad and place it firmly on the snowboard. Keep the pressure for a while and you are set to go. If you have enough time, it is better to leave the stomp pad under pressure (put some heavy books on it) for 24 hours before using it. It will stay on longer. If my stomp pad comes off?Usually you can stick it back on as the stomp pad will still be sticky. But it will start coming off sooner and sooner, so at one time you will have to throw it away and get a new one. Remove all the old glue from the snowboard, then follow the instruction above. Stomp pad stylesJust go crazy. Like everything in life, snowboard stomp pads have gone from simple dull black pieces of rubber to designed, bling bling, colourfull, high tech...well pieces of rubber. Enjoy your ride.

... the best thing for attaching a pad is water proof epoxy. gorilla glue expands too much |

... @Ross: yeah, it depends on the glue that is on the stomp pad, if the instructions say to heat it - do it! |

... There's also this new type of stomp pad which is GREAT for beginners called the "Strap Pad." Basically it's a stomp pad with an adjustable VELCRO strap to make the chairlift ride more comfortable and give you way more control getting off the lift. It's a simple peel and stick product (no blow dryer require, haha). I think you can check it out at www.StrapPad.com |

Board treatment Remember to re-apply all the sperm and marijuana and blood back onto the board after adding new shit. It's scientifically proven to protect the board from absorbing water between the layers. |
