Bindings.............?

Question

what do you people think of the flow bindings

Answer 1

I haven't tried 'em but I wouldn't buy them.  A friend of mine owns a board shop and rides a lot and doesn't like any that he's tried.

I think they're a bit gimmicky and wouldn't want to trust putting so much of my weight on the heel plate that's designed to open (even though it locks into place).

Answer 2

i actually don't have the flows but my brother does. he's not the biggest fan of them because of the way you have to put your foot in them but he also doesn't mind them too much. he wouldn't recomend them though.

Answer 3

Personally, I don't like them.  I don't like the way they feel - I don't feel supported as with my strap bindings.  There are not as comfortable to me.   IN only know one person who actually likes them - actually loves them!  Everyone else I ride with sticks to conventional bindings.  Most people fall into two groups when asked about flows - love-em or hate-em.  I don't hate them, but I don't see the point when my regular bindings are comfortable and offer excellent support and responsiveness.

Answer 4

i hate flows. i dont feel the same support as i do with my regular bindings. yea u save all of 1 minute when strapping in at the top of the hill, but in my opinion, its not worth the stability. your gotta be able to trust your bindings.

Answer 5

my brother and cousin bought them but after a few sessions went back to their old bindings... the told everyone not to buy them.

Answer 6

I don't like them.
