This past week I had a board break and had a new one overnighted to me. I figured, hey, why not buy some new bindings too. So I bought a whole new set up. When the board arrived, i positioned the bindings and tightened down the bolts. No big deal. I took it out for a ride and on the first jump, a heel side wake to wake, nothing big, the inside binding bolt came off the board. Now, I knew I had tightened them down, but thought, maybe I had not tightened them enough. No big deal, grabbed an old board w/ same type of fastners, and retightened them. Took it out and rode. At a contest today, when I went to throw my wildcard, as soon as I leave the wake, pop, there it goes again, the same exact one. Now I know there is something wrong. I think that the binding bolts aren't biting enough threads in the board, or the holes in the board are warped. Any ideas. I need to send it back, but the company I bought it from said to take pictures. Obviously in this case, pictures won't really show the cause of the problem.
