softbootsurfer Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 The Union "FORCE" binding is really easy to convert to a 3 strap... a couple bolts and an old leather belt cut with added buckles and wallah... They have other colors as well  I figure, nobody would steel a stick with pink bindings... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Bob - After watching your setup I tried a similar setup of my own. Instead of using leather straps I got some semi-rigid polyethylene straps and bolted them to the highbacks of some older Salomon 2 strap bindings. The straps were about 1" wide by about 1/16" thick.  I bolted them to the highbacks of some older Salomon 2 strap bindings and bolted the highbacks to the heel cup. I tried this on a board for a run or 2. It worked pretty well but I really never gave it a chance. I am spoiled by Flow (now Nidecker) quick entry bindings. I think your solution is well thought out but it does require one to close 2x straps at the top of each run and undo them at the bottom of each run. The advantage of semi-rigid straps is that they retain their approximate shape when disconnected instead of hanging down. Anyway, ride on and have fun!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softbootsurfer Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I simply wanted to say...the Union is a good replacement, after using Burtons forever as three strap bindings...I strap 3 straps closed and undue 3 straps each run, add 30 seconds...don't think I have ever been in such a hurry, except when the Pow is over a foot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
