So I'm picking up a new board and bindings tonight. Probably gonna get a burton board but I don't know what bindings to get. Can anyone give me some feedback on some bindings out there? Thanks!

[chris_venturini]

i have a used ride timeless im selling for cheap, it has bindings on it but they arent the best

[M@]

Pics Or Ban, chris. What size?

[marcrx5]

Burton bindings are pretty good, and would go well with the board. What ever bindings you get, make sure they have toe cups. Mine don't, and I rode a friends board with them, they really hold your boot in tight.

I've got a Never Summer board, RIDE Preston bindings, and DC boots. Absolutely love the combo.

[lswhitecivic]

So I'm guessing that you already have boots? You'll definately want to take those with you when your looking at bindings to make sure everything fits snug. A lot of it come down to personal preference. I prefer binding with a solid aluminum base, because their more stout for me, and i seem can control the board better. Also I know people who have snapped hard plastic bases.

Some people don't like aluminum bases because they are usually heavier, but I haven't had any problems. I have a Sims board with Sims Lithium bindings and I like them alot.

im pretty sure its a 156, ill have to get pics later

My last board was a never summer and it had preston bindings. I had no complaints other than it was a 145 or something like that and I'm 6'1. I like the never summer boards but I'm gettting a deal on the burtons so I'll be happy with that.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to check out some places on my lunch and look at some stuff in person. I figured burton or ride would be some good bindings to go with.

i loved my customs.. had them on my canyon 163..
and i am like 6'4" 175-180
i wish i still had them... meh...

I have the Burton Missions and they are kick ass!

Cap straps are a must when it comes to bindings, the toe cup design

[Dave_L]

Anyone know anything about Technique bindings?

[Dave_L]

Also, I'm looking at the burton king board. Anyone heard anything about this one?

That's a wicked setup Nick. I need to get myself a better setup. :(

[lswhitecivic]

You sure its not Technine? I've never heard of Technique.

Also for wideboards, depending on how good your deal is with Burton, I would suggest you look at a Ride Yukon.

[Dave_L]

I'm getting about 60% off. :)

Maybe it was technine.

[Dave_L]

Yup, it must have been technine. Are they decent bindings?

Ride Timeless?

[nicklk]

Toyz51 has them on his Neversumer, and ive ridden it before. Thats a decent combo as well. Man, i need to get another board sometime. The one time i ever get something stolen out of my car, i have to sell it to replace the crap.

When my car got stolen, I had the motor and tranny left......I bought my set up with the money lol.......if I didnt have a nice car, I was going to have a kick ass snowboard!

[forum]

Flows suck....



Hardly, I have absolutely no urge to ever ride another set of bindings

[nicklk]

From my experiance, its a love/hate relationship with Flow bindings........I personally hate them.

[iinvazionii]

The Burton missions are great and they were cheap too when I got them back at Ski-Rex + friend discount! :thumbup: I've ridden Ride and Burton binding and it's a very hard decision between the two companies but toe caps FTW!

[Dave_L]

Just got a set of brand new technine's for $83. W00t!

I only had a few hundred dollars worth of stuff stolen, and i figured id buy a board again soon, but you know how that is. I had a NS as well, and i really want to get one again.

Burton bindings with the toe cap FTMFW
i have some P1 carbons and they are super responsive, only gripe is how careful i have to be when i strap in, that ladder straps are pretty fragile if you step on them!

[nicklk]

i have some P1 carbons

what stick are you riding?

Yeah, I have been real happy with Technine/Never Summer combo. I need to replace the straps some time, but I have had the setup since 2000.

[nicklk]

I am suprised with how many Never Summer riders there are here!

[Dave_L]

My last board was a never summer and I loved it. I'll eventually get another one but I'll see how this burton treats me.

[Mario]

Never Summer ftmfw.

[2genCRX]

what stick are you riding?

i ride a unity origin 159, im very impressed with unity decks ultra snappy,quality local construction. hands down better than any NS board i have ever ridden.

[iinvazionii]

If there are any of you guys that half ride park and half ride the mountain, what do you guys ride? I'm in the hunt for a new board. I have now a GNU that is way too stiff for park riding. I was leaning towards a Rome board since I've heard some good things about them.
