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

I've been snowboarding for about 7 years now, and used to have Flow
bindings and loved them. 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
