Anyone used Ride bindings before? I was looking at some today at Skisurf in Colchester. All their toestraps appear to be the rubber webbing. Might be something that breaks in time?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

the only parts I ever see break on ride is the ratchet straps but this happens to all bindings, and isnt helped by people leaving their bindings open overnight.

stab,
Well I have just learnt something there... Leaving the bindings open is bad?

Kruisler, and you should lace up your boots over night too btw 
|
|
|

Kruisler, of course it is. You ride all day with the bindings closed and they are cold (they should be, it's winter time) Then you finish riding, leave the bindings open like everyone does and dump the board somewhere, ski depot, hotel room whatever. The binding straps now go from cold to warm overnight but because they are open the straps bend the opposite way they should, well only the front binding does, the back will generally be ok. Repeat this a few days and you get a split in the strap.
I can't explain this at all, I need pictures.

DebbiDoesSnow, I saw your gloves for this season, the levels, but instead of the studs they now have dice, awesomezzz.

stab, the studs still do it for me ! They are the best gloves i've had
|
|

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Good effort! And I would suggest that the best place to test them would be at the Snowdome on Friday evening.

Agree entirely with racheting bindings together overnight and makes complete sense. What was the point about our boots? Are we meant to re-tie them everynight? I just leave them after use to dry, keeping the laces on the lower bits, but not fully tied up.
PS Those Ride bindings look sweet!

stab, got the bindings through this morning and they are the ones you foudn the image of.
They are truly mental looking and totally different to my Flows, which are very udnerstated and a bit 'trick' looking. Gonna give them a go at Tamworth soon and see what they're like. They have the cap strap thingy on them too, which is something I've never used, although I've read a fair bit about it wresking your feet...

sweet, can you rotate the highbacks on them? I think you'll find them a lot different to the flows if you can move the highbacks.

Does anyone bother to rotate their highbacks? I can rotate them on my Rome bindings, but never tried.

Wouldn't know how to do that – please enlighten this FLOW-biased rider

Specialman, its where the highback can move around the back of the binding
most decent bindings have it
mine are rotated but bloody stiff being carbon
|
|
|
|
|

You know it makes sense.
|
you can set the stance up how you like it, eg 18 -12 or whatever but then, because they arent flows or other crap type bindings you can move the highbacks so they line up with the edges, gives you more pressure, legs can move better and what not.

Specialman, imo it makes perfect sense, the foot angles come from the ankles, you're stuck with the leg angles god gave you.
