Dawgman Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I am looking to upgrade from the Burton bindings that were original with my factory prime over 10 years ago. Have always worn ski boots and don't ride enough to justify investing in new boots & bindings hence just want new/used bindings that will work.

scrapster Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Probably something that offers a little more flex: Burton Race Plates, F2 (or older ProFlex version), SnowPro. There are a few others out there too, but these are the most common and are generally on the cheaper side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Look for used TD2 + Suspension Kit in our classifieds. Or used TD3 with soft (yellow) e-rings, but there probably aren't (m)any used ones for sale yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However your will need a wide front bail kit? At least with at boots. I always rode race plates when I was on ski boots. You need a little flex somewhere!

DiveBomber Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 yeah, you go to anything stiffer and you'll regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a little flex somewhere! No, you will not need a wide front bail kit with ski boots. AT boots are not ski boots. TD2 with suspension kit or TD3 with soft e-ring has plenty of flex.

BlueB Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 ... right here! Since you were in the ski boots for long time, you probably figured out which types work better then other and what mods can be done. I ride heavilly modified Dalebello Carvex CRX, but was able to ride them out of the box too. I use TD2 with suspension or with TD3 yellow elastomer on the carving boards. On slightly wider and "in-between" boards, I ride Snowpro. On pow, bump and teaching boards I ride all plastic Blax/Proflex/F2 RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 but I finally tried Sidewinders last week at SES.THE ULTIMATE binding for skiboot use.Loved the better edge to edge response and rock solid feel,while still having the flex that the snopros give me.Pricy but worth it!

zoltan Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I ride heavilly modified Dalebello Carvex CRX, but was able to ride them out of the box too. Why not just use the HSP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 DIN soles, stiffer latteral flex, price, in that order of importance. I've got stock of spare pairs, so I don't see myself on HSPs any soon. The only SB boot I might consider is UPZ with AT soles, but at the price difference, I doubted. I'm still to try few old school Vibram soled boots I've got, for teaching and pow. When all my Dalbellos are gone, I'm likely to find stiffest AT boots and go with that...

Donek Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Sidewinders without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Sidewinders without a doubt. For the price of sidewinders, he could buy decent used boots and just about any other binding available.... Just Sayin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann AG Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Catek OS1 or WC. Durable, and most of the static can be tuned out of the system; as the lift and cant are wholly independent to the n'th. Better still would be one of the above on the front, and a Sidewinder on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
