Check out Ebay for cheap bindings.

Since you have Burton boots, Burton bindings will fit well with them.
Someone mentioned the Burton Custom, - while the lower models of the
Burton are afforable, my personal opinion is that they aren't secure
enough for you more freeride oriented riding - Burton bindings in
general tend to have a lot of play in them - I think that's just
Burton's style.

The Burton Missions are a good solid pair of bindings ($170 though).
The Burton P1MDs are my current bindings (I just sold my Cateks to
Mike!) and they are a nice blend of dampened smooth riding with decent
responsiveness - unfortunately they cost $270 retail - but I got mine
on Ebay for $80 (with a Burton Fish that I wanted to try out). Burton
makes you pay a premium for their brand name, and while their high end
stuff is usually decent... it's the lower end stuff that I would shy
away from - so I'm not a big Burton fan in general.


Yep, the P1s are good. They have this system where you can move the strap
position without taking the bindings off the board which is actually quite
useful. (forward setting for jumps and rails, rear setting for cruising).

One thing to watch though is that the straps are non-standard and most shops
don't stock them so could be a good idea to get a spare set.

Jay.
