Question

I want to get these this weekend but i have heard that they suck for park and for grabs because of the stiffness. Anyone riddin these bindings yet?

Answer 1

get the C60's dude.

they're way better.

Answer 2

Burton has never been known to make stiff bindings. The Cartel while not being super stiff is super responsive. You will not find a better binding on the market for freestyle riding (in my opinion). It is lightweight, responsive and has a sweet plush capstrap which is unmatched by any other company. The cartel is the best buy for any binding on the market today (at retail price).

If you are looking for stiff do with Ride, they use aluminum  baseplates which are much stiffer.

Answer 3

I'm not riding them yet, but I think your best bet would be to find a local mountain thats doing a demo day.  Try them out before you buy, cause you can't take them back, plus someone else's experiences aren't going to be the same as yours.
