still top choice when i hit the mtn

By asha stoddard Ranked #109 - Snowboard Bindings December 5, 2009

I started riding twelve years ago with flows, so maybe I was just trained from the start to love them. I have heard that you either love them or hate them, and I am a lover. I ventured out a few years back and tried the K2 Cinch hybrid binding (which worked well enough but was a monster as far as weight)and then bought the Burton Cartel. Now I am happily back with flows. I still ride my cartels when I am doing long backcountry or heli runs but when it comes to on-and-off short lift-runs, nothing beats the Flows. They are light weight, I can blow by the boarders who have to sit down don/doff their binding, and now that they are fully adjustable on the slope, they are more responsive too.

I give them four stars and nit five because I do feel they have regressed in recent years in quality. The old school bindings felt a lot more sturdy and well built. Now that they have so many moving parts they are a bit confusing to adjust and feel a little less rough and tumble. Still I have had no problems functionally and they are my top choice for resort riding.
