I got a pair of SG bindings just recently and rode them for couple days. First observations : 1. Little stiffer then F2s 2. Easier to change your setup quickly for the cants/lifts etc, without screwing up your front and rear bracket position 3. You can change the size of the bindings from S to L with 30 minutes effort, so If like me you are on the border line of sizes you can choose what works better for you. 4. Hex bolts for everything - is it an advantage ? I was once frustrated when snow has melted and froze inside the hex nut and couldnt get it out to adjust the binding. On pozidrive you just dig with it :P. Overall I agree the hex is better and less prone to slip, when adjusting at home. 5. Front lever design - anyone broke the front lever in F2s? Good news on SG - you can easily assemble and dissamble the front lever without taking off the bail or buying whole new bracket. 6. Is it a binding revolution ? No its an evolution, but a most welcome one. All things evolved vs F2 make this binding a better choice. Its really good that you get all the mounting hardware, all lifts, cants in one set and the bindings come disassembled, so you can choose what lifts and cants to use. Anyone gets frustrated when you get a brand new F2s, but have to take them apart and put them back together? Or if you need an additional lift you have to buy additional one from the dealer just to get all the necessary hardware, i.e. long and medium F2 screws? Original screws for F2 are also a rare find in EU. 7. Is it worth the extra $? Depends what you are looking for. If you are not on a limited budget then go for SGs as they are less stressful and are way easier to operate. By F2s standards you get two sizes of binding for a price of one. On the other hand if you are on a budget you can get F2s sometimes really cheap from the outlets in EU say for approx 150 euros. Choice is yours.

I will have them in my hands on Saturday. will let you guys know how they feel. Probably ride in the middle of next week. Cheers

Sorry NWboarder. why dont you organize pick up yourself? I am pretty sure that they will be able to do that for you. I shipped boards from EU to US with no probs. Albeit the cost is approx 130 bucks

Have a look at my Apex: If you looking for a long board i am pretty sure you will have lots of fun with this

Let me know if someone wants to get rid of their plates Cheers

Have fun http://www.snowshop.de/Voelkl-Racetiger-GS-183-Snowboard_1

Hi Erik I didn't explain myself clearly : 1. sidas beds that I used to have were custom made, heated and then you stand on them on a special machine to retain shape. 2.superfeets were made in vacuum with my legs hanging in space exactly as you described them. I have loosened the buckles on the lower 3 by 1 tooth and loosened up a bit on a cuff too. If the pain won't go away I will go back to the shop that has made those beds for me. Thanks for advice it really fells like my foot is being pushed outwards when I pull the boot really tight. Worst come to worst I will take look at Palau, zip fit or intuition liners to replace my foam liners. Cheers Gents !

Today I tried again but I let the buckles a little more loose and the pain went away. My super feet insoles ale the one with plastics under heel and arch. I used to ride with sidas custom footbeds and I can't remember having such a pain ever. My liners are foam injected ones so maybe I should get a new pair. Will make a trial on the stock footbed and see

Question to more experienced guys: I have recently changed from UPZ 2014 to the latest model with new tongue. I have kept my FOAM liners and have fitted the boot with custom made superfeet insoles. I have adjusted all the buckles exactly the same as in the old UPZs. While riding (especially when going uphill on the T-bar) I have an pain issue on the outer side of the foot. Any advice how to fix this? Tried to loosen up the buckles on microadjustment but it didnt help.

the board is really funtastic, just a little too long radius for the slopes that I have in the area. I usually have to go to Italy with this thing to have fun:P

Haha That's what Ivan told me. I guess I know what I will be buying. On which board did you try it ? I am thinking about putting it on my sg full race By no rebound you mean that vist dampens the board?

I wanted to buy these or the geckos. cant wait for you review. I would expect gecko to be much lighter. if you have both of them can you take pictures of both side by side? which one gives more lift off the board? thanks Lukasz

lucky you! :P

Are those plates still available for sale ?

Say hello to my little Apex Fast+ 180 :)

Hi I dropped you an email of this board is still avail. Thanks

I finally had a chance to ride these in UPZ boots and they were plainly uncomfortable. Lots of pressure points etc. Plus whenever I bent my "rear" leg i could feel that liner lifting in my bootshell, which created a sense of insecurity that I could fall out of the shell. I am going back to my foam injected liners or to regular flo...

Hi, Can you please tell if any of you have tried those liners with UPZ boots? Ive got an option to buy them brand new in my size at good price. Question is how does the Full tilt intuition liner : http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=151748&d=1393780892 would fit the RC10 shell. Let me know if you got any comments cheers! SLP
