Default Flow Flight 3 binding highback won't stay down when open

1) The F. really isn't a good binding in general. I wouldn't go below
the 5-Series Binding of Flow.

2) BUT: The "problem" with your highback is none. It's totally normal
that it comes up again. If it wouldn't come up again, it could "bite" in
the snow and you'd fall. At First (Flow AMP5) I had problems with this
issue (upcoming highback), too, but then I found the clou =)
Just try this: to step in the right binding when the highback is in
"up"-position, move the foot in front of the highback, push it with your
heel down (through moving the foot backwards) and slide in the binding.
You have to try this 10 to 15 times but then it's no problem and you can
handle it fast :-)

Greets!


The problem is getting the foot out not in. When the highback is up my
boot can't move back and is stuck. It is hard for me to hold the
highback open and pull my foot back at the same time.

The highback "biting" in the snow when open won't cause me to fall
because I'm not moving when the bindings are open; only when they are
closed.

More persuading caused Ski Market to credited me the Flite 3 price
toward a pair of M9's. These stay open.
