I bought these bindings only because my original ones had given up on me half way down a mountain. It has been the best thing that has happened to my boarding. Both the baseplate and highback are fairly stiff so all movement is transferred direct to the board. The straps are wide and padded so they are super comfy. The bidings have a fully adjustable heel cup as well which means that you can tailor them completely to your size of boot and to your style of riding. I tend to be very aggresive and they have brought my riding on in leaps and bounds. They will not suit every rider though, if you are learning to ride they will be too stiff, and if you have a really chunky boot (ie Flow) the straps may not be long enough to go round.
Advantages: Solid performance, cheap price, great build quality, not yellow. Disadvantages: Should be called Drake GT? Ciao, do your research! ;-)

I owned a manual focus SLR with simple aperture priority or manual exposure and thought it was all I would ever need. Why do you need auto focus when you're looking through the lens anyway.
I moved to the F60 only because I wanted a camera I could... more
