 Poster: A snowHead
|
I spent all year convincing my partner that what I really wanted for Christmas was a set of Flow Bindings.
I've read all the topics I can find on this website and still want them.
We're heading out to Canada two days after Christmas, so I am hoping to get a good bargain whilst we're there.
However I've read one comment on another website (yes I do stray from here occasionally), that suggested that backs couldn't be folded down to fit on a roof rack.
Now I have no interest what so ever in doing this, but I do want to pack my board and bindings into the bag together, without dismantling for travelling.
Could someone who has a set of Flows please tell me if this is possible.
Thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

roastingdave, Thanks for that.
We currently have two bags for our boards. One's just a simple slip in type. The other is padded around the outside, unzips around three side , is this what's meant by a coffin bag?
I tend to fill up the bags with other stuff anyway.

I usually put mine in a slide in board bag, with the backs folded down, never had any problems.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have Flows. The backs will fold down, but only if you unclip one side of the toe piece, lift it up, fold down the backs, then clip the toe piece back over the top. I think that keeps them fairly safe, though obviously any bindings take up a bit of room.

I do the same. Had Flows since I started and the fit fine in my skinny bag.

Don't be lazy it takes all of a minute to unbolt each binding when travelling

Just an update...
I did go ahead and buy a set of Flow Pro bindings whilst I was out in Canada last week.
They took a bit of getting used to. Having to be stood up to put them on does take a bit of practice (balance), but it soon becomes easier.
Also the first time I put them on in the morning with boots and bindings dry was a complete pain. Once I'd done one run down the whole thing was simple.
But yes they are worth it to beable to get moving quicker.
The straps were more comfy than my old bindings.
I did take the straps off for transport, but not the whole bindings as they didn't seem to lie as flat as standard bindings.
I'm so glad I bought them.
PS. The weather in Jasper was brilliant. So much snow!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

whats the rush.. surely doing up proper bindings gives you time to finish your chair lift smoke.. yes the one you though you would keep om the go getting of the chair that makes you fall over for no reason other than its there. marlboro lights must have extra gravity in them
