Thanks for the feedback. I presently ride Burton custom's (the green and grey ones with 3 straps). They're OK, but I've broken straps before on them and they will only have a limited service life left. I recently bought some Burton Driver X boots and they are nicely stiff; it took me a while to find such a stiff boot. Now it's time to replace the bindings. I wonder if the Driver's will fit the Flow's OK?

Anyone have any opinions on the 2007 Flow NXT FR for a carving binding with soft boots?

I saw on one carving website that the Flow brand bindings are an OK choice for soft boot carving. Now these new 2007 NXTs are looking kinda interesting -- the NXT FR (for Free-ride), is supposed to be stiff and very adjustable (highback angle and twist). Also, the top buckes are new and I think you can exit from the front if your are in deep powder (a big issue with the previous models). I try to find reviews of these but you get a lot of beginners using "step ins" and I think Flow's might have a bad rap because of the poor technique most beginners have. I'm oldschool and use a 3-strap binding -- I want a very stiff binding... Any opinions on these new Flows?
