I am hoping to buy a Skate Banana 159 W this season, and I was going to buy Drake Fifty Bindings to go with it, but they are proving to be difficult to find. Any suggestions for good park bindings that would ride well with the 2012 Skate Banana?

Sure. Union Contacts and the Forum Republics would be a nice addition to the Skate Banana. Lots of people are raving about the Burton Malvitas too. I’d also be tempted to look at the Salomon Arcades, it’s a nice binding for the price and my brother’s experience of Salomon’s waranty on broken straps is really good.

What are the differences the difference between The Contact and Contact Pro?

The main difference is the hightback. The Contact pro has a very light framework highback designed by Gigi Ruff. It also has lighter buckles and a CNCes heel cup. If you’re not hiking pipe all day and weight isn’t an issue, I’d probably go with the standard Contact, I’m not sure how well the Pro highback would deal with a low chair lift.
