Hello

I just bought a set of BD O1's and a pair of Havocs. Friends have recommended I put risers under the bindings. Could you comment on that and or recommend a riser?

Thanks!

You don't need risers unless you're carving really REALLY hard, most likely racing. I've been racing without risers for 5 years and never booted out once, and the fact that you're buying a binding with a free pivot means you probably aren't looking at carving much with them. I think risers are totally unnecessary.
