yeah when the board broke, like i said i rode away fine, when the binding broke i was cruising some flats and ran into the edge of a groomer track in the middle of the hill and it basically tripped me, when i hit the ground my boot popped off the board, so i thought the binding released, but when i looked down the binding was still on my foot. the next thought was that i tore the inserts out, but then i looked at the board and the plate was still on it with a big chunk missing. i was happy it happened when i was going slow. the crappy part of that was riding stomp pad all the way back to my truck to get my skis out and finish the day, i was having too much fun on the board for that to happen.
