DiveBomber Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have a pair of these laying around and normally wouldnt use them, BUT im going to break out my old burton custom for some practice in the park, and these bindings can give up to 8deg build in cant (each) which would help with the low angles, wont be really doing any hard carving, but I dont want to break them or dont want to pop out of them. any thoughts? also im probably going to throw some grip tape on the metal part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm not going to tell you what is good for you but for most people, the lower the angles the less cant needed. go to the swoard website for details. those bindings look like a failure waiting to happen.

Call me jack Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 honestly, i wouldn't use them. plates just don't belong in the park, in my book. i'd only use boots. are you going to be jibbing, or big airs? your going to look like a retro geezer if you use plates..

DiveBomber Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 on second thought, take lots of pictures :p thanks, but I wasnt asking what you thought of people going in the park with plates, not to mention I always lap through the park(on plates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resemble that remark. :lol: I don't much care what it looks like though, it's fun. I would trust those Nitros for carving, but not for jumping. Almost all of my binding failures have happened when undershooting or overshooting jumps, (plus a couple others in moguls). I've had hard landings with and without binding failures, and I greatly prefer without. :) Intec TDs and Intec Cateks are the strongest thing I know of, I've been riding TDs almost exclusively for years and they haven't failed me yet. (Cateks are a close second, they haven't broken either but they require frequent tweaks to stay tight.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
