DiveBomber Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Anyone ever pop out of burtons with head boots? I notice that unlike with burton boots, the heads are either really tight or really loose, not sure which setting to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonyblaze87 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 A lot of boots will pop out of Burton plats because the metal in the binding along with the bails flexes so much and gets worse over time. And along with the head boots they are a really soft plastic,,, so put two and two together and its gona happen. I rode that set up for a few season but I would go through about 2-3 pairs of head boots and about 4-5 bails a season with that combo so now im on f2’s and UPZ I know of a few tricks you can use to help you keep your feet locked down lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonyblaze87 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 buy new bindings and boots... just kidding. um well get a new set of bails, because the bails for those binding stretch out after time. another trick is to take a roll of duct tape and and cut strips of about 3/4" to an 1" wide and lets say go 10" 15" long and wrap it around the bails. do this a few times wrapping the tape in the same spot so it builds up and so this on both sides of the bails where your heel groove is about and one smaller wrap in the back this a a fix that can help. but also make sure ur bails are tight enough you should get a good snap when they are pulled back over your toe.... try that see if it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
