New bindings for my board
So I'm in my second season of snowboarding and want to upgrade my set
up. I've got a new Never Summer Legacy and want to upgrade my Bindings. I'm thinking about either Ride Spi or Salomon Relay, but I'm open to ideas and would like some direct. I'm mostly a free rider, haven't really tried park stuff yet, might try it depending on how my skill increases this season. Any help would be great. Thanks! |

Hey TC; I'm in my 6th year of boarding after skiing for 20+ years. I really like the Flow bindings. No pressure points, exceptional control and absolutely no need to sit down to strap in. You just put your foot in, pull up the fastback and off you go. They also have the added advantage of being able to slip your foot into the open one when you are on the chair to relieve the weight on the leg that is still strapped in. There are a lot of haters out there about this particular brand, I have no idea why, maybe because the bindings are 'different'. I've been using them for 5 years and cannot find anything wrong with them and lots that is good. JMHO Mark |

I don't know why people don't like them either. But I just bought completely new gear and went for the K2 Cinch bindings and am in love. I'ts the best of both worlds. Lightweight fast/easy access and absolutely great build quality. In case you're wondering I also got the Batalleon Undisputed 159 board and Vans Cirro boots Alex |

Very happy with them. Great bindings and great customer service. When I needed to replace a broken strap, called them and they sent me out 4 of them for free. Then when the bindings were about 3 years old, getting of the lift I had the lift come down on the back which I left raised and it broke. Called them up again. The bindings were red and they no longer had red backs for the old bindings, but offered to send 2 new silver ones for free. Put them on and they look great, you'd never know they weren't shipped that way. Given that experience, I will be looking at Drake first when it's time for new ones. |

In case you're wondering I also got the Batalleon Undisputed 159 board and Vans Cirro boots Alex I found that the Flows I had once used had too much give and that I didn't have as good control, especially in bumps. I've been riding on Nidecker Carbon P900. Comfortable and very adjustable bindings. I did have a little bit of a hard time getting some replacement ladders from the USA rep. but ultimately did get them. Which brings up two important considerations with bindings. Ability to replace broken parts in a timely manner. If you are travelling or ride often at different mountains having uncommon bindings can be a problem. This leads to point two, never toss your old bindings and its probably worthwhile to keep them in your car during the season, just in case. Alex do the high backs rotate on those K2s? Mike |
