Fastskiguy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 You should have NO regrets with the TD3. The racers are trying out something that is slightly different from the production TD3, but when it is available it will be an easy upgrade if you choose to do so. But as is the TD3 is a great binding and should be considered a viable option for just about every hardbooter out there.To answer on of the questions above. Pretty much all the racers are using the standard bail version. Ahhh great, even if it's not true I appreciate the info :) Now for a nap....

Zone Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Keep in mind, most racers like flex and movement in the binding... most free carvers I know don't want that flex. . Unless you follow the http://www.extremecarving.com/tech/mat.html set up advice, in which case you want a fair amount of flex both forward/back and lateral. And you don't have to EC to use the set up. Personally it works great for freecarving/freeriding too (at least for me). I even find that for my size (5'6'' and 130lbs) the F2 Race Titanium bindings are on the stiff side of things ("I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain comes to mind...)

Pretty much all the racers are using the standard bail version. I am on one of these "factory modified" TD3, like what has been said racers tend to like more flex in our bindings so most of us are using the yellow e-rings and i am around 155lbs. There are few rider on the blue/purple and i don't think any of us are using the reds. The reason I like them is because fin has made a product that feels similar to the F2's but in cold weather like Norquay wont break. and none of us have a "factory modified" set of step-in TD3's, the 3 of us that podium with "factory modified" TD3's at Norquay were all on Kesslers with hingle plates for people that really wanted to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtrappy Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 This is basically like the F2 but you can customize the flex and it wont break(knock on wood). They are still in the Proto-type stage. And will be able to be put onto a TD3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimo Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 the bails are the traditional standard bail, the exact ones he uses on the TD3's I think John was just funning us. I'm pretty sure, though, that the standard version can still open a beer bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
