Flow NXT FS Snowboard Binding - 2008 BCS

I don't know what these other reviewers are doing/seeing but I use both the Flow NXT FS and Burton Cartels. The Flows absolutely kill for ease of use and speed - there is no way a decent snowboarder is faster getting into any other binding (I've also used the K2 Cinch and Flow wins hands down). They're also comfortable, adjustable and sick on the steeps. I like the Cartels a little more in the park because I think their toe caps give me more control and the Cartels are definitely lighter. But for freeriding, the Flows are my first choice. The only down side comes from the wear they place on your back foot boot. I've had 2 pairs of boots with my Flows and my left boot (I'm goofy) always has more nicks, tears and general wear from kicking my boot in. Not a huge problem just the only negative I can see with these bindings. Bottom line is if you want to spend more time shredding and less time ratcheting in, these are for you.

Sick... ok maybe one word. I have last years NXT FS and they are the best binding i have ever used. These were my second pair of flow bindings and i thought it couldnt get any better. These bindings have so many adjustments I cant count them. Make sure you buy them early, and give your self a couple "break in" trips, so you can adjust them to your liking (it will take a while). After you adjust them be ready for the best shredding you have ever experienced.
