Binding Buying Advice

Posted: 30 March 2012 12:57 PM

Union Force Binding are something I have been looking into getting.

Right now im riding the Burton Customs, are there just about at the end of there life.
I ride 99% Park/Rails/Jumps/Jibbing, only once in a blue moon will I be bombing a hill, and thats usually on a $50 bet to see who’s the fastest.
My board is the Bataleon Disaster-Very soft and playful board.
I am 5’8 125lb and size 10Boot if that helps

Any Suggestions? I am open to any companies.

Right now I have been looking into the

Union Force - Heard a many of good things
Switch Back - Sounds like a good concept but unsure of performance.

Please leave any suggestions.
Thanks

Is anyone able to help? or any advice?
The only binding I have had even before, or some old M3 bindings.

Do you like firm or soft flexing bindings? Do you tweak your grabs a lot? Do you like a loose skateboard feel or a responsive plugged-in feel? How much have you got to spend? Are you planning to ride without highbacks?

I love tweeking grabs. I like a good soft binding, but i also like something that is gonna snap quickly, and have some responce. So a more plugged in feeling.
Money really isent an issue. so just keep it under 300 or so.
But if im paying alot for a binding, i want to make sure it lasts.
Im planing to use high backs.

As for the No-Backs thing, I thought that was a really cool thing i would wanna try, so the switch-Backs were something i considered.
