    Going faster will help. Also I should make a video of fitting bindings and how to properly “buckle in” for The best combo of performance and comfort.

    I go snowboarding next week, for any tips on setting I will appreciate so much! 🙂

    Why would you rotate highback if you ride duckstance, my girlfriend rides these bindings +30 + 24 and there is no need to rotate highback

    Here is best and cheapest solution :

    Put 3rd strap on bindings 

    It will sound maybe silly, but I am not really sure why 😉

    Mostly because I read that this is important and gives better weight distribution on heelside edge. 

    I also read that pads with canting also help. 

    I also read that pivot "suspension" at Now Bindings also help.

    I can not check any of those , if this is marketing shit or pure truth - in Poland you can not rent top bindings and test them. 

    I ride for 20years, I had many boards, and each of them behaved completely different. But all bindings gave pretty simillar effect.

    So now I wanted to buy binding that will give me as much added value as possible. 

    I know that I can make toeside Exteme carv on any binding for 50$. 

    But on heelside I have some problems. 

    And If : 

    - highback rotation at Rome

    - Skate pivot suspension at Now

    - arc form highback with spring at PHK 

    Or carbon fiber, nylon, kevlar, steel, titanium or space dust offered by anyone else can give me 5 or 10% , I want to take it.

    I am interested in best soft boot binding that helps at extreme carving on heelside. 

     

    P.S. does a 3rd strap gives you a lot on heelside ?

    Wonder why no manufacturer has it as an option...

    One that fits your boots better, biggest drawback on SB gear is connection between boot and binding

    Plastic one will last couple years, aluminium for life 

    Look at F2 Eliminator carve fastec

    its great system, and they dont have heelcup, great for EC 

     

     

     

    Hmm... I am not sure. I read that proper adjustment od highback rotation is important for heelside extreme carving l. And those F2 have no highback rotation...

    I really liked the Rome targa bindings for hard riding super responsive and you can teak them alot to get the perfect set up, personally id choose them over the black series due to the blacks use of mini disk and the chassis not being as stiff.

    Flux XF/XV seem to be the binding of choice in asia for carving never ridden them personally though

    Are you sure they have mini discs? I called shop and they told me that both Targa , Katana and Black Series have regular discs.

    I though that as Black Series is 60% more expensive they are just killer binding that use better materials and have better responsivness. 

    Hmm... My Burton Cartel have 12 years.  Now I am ready to buy anything that will boost my duck stance body carving 😉. Money is not an issue. 

    (P.s. I also still do some buttering )

    @Mac81 the Flux XVs are super light and super responsive, but have zero cushioning and can be a bit harsh on the legs.

    i like them, but I like the Now O-drives even more as the addition of slight dampening and a little bit of cushioning goes a long way towards making my riding more fun for the whole day.

    cheers,

    sandy

    Now O Drives are not available in my country 😞

    And Rome ? 

    Black Series or Targa? 

    Targa is stiffer from what I read and Black Series lighter.

    For extreme carving which would be better ?

    When it comes to selecting a soft bindingThe things that matter to me most

    John, these are great tips! 

    Now I am learning to do body carving on softboots -15°+15° duck stance. 

    This is not easy job, especially here in Europe, Poland I never ever seen anyone doing it. So noone to ask for advice...

    This is me trying: 

     

    I was thinking which bindings would help me doing the job. 

    I am considering: 

    - Rome Black Series ,

    - Rome Targa 

    - Flux XV 

    I am leanimg toward Rome Black Series because of weight , responsivness and adjustabiility.

    But I am still not sure...

    Maybe somthing else ?

    Any help?
