"Great idea, bad product" - Review of Flow NXT FX Snowboard Binding

Fortunately, Flow is not in the aerospace business. "A-plus" for rear entry design and hop-and-go capability; "A" for total adjustability of every aspect of the binding. You must have the technical skills and 3 hours or so to spare doing it INDOORS; "A" for comfort, stability and responsiveness, both with freecarve and alpine setups; "F-minus" for poor materials (brittle and underdesigned). Two fasteners and one strap broke off during my two outings with these brand new bindings. No falls involved. I am an easy-going carver that does NO jumps. The tech at the pro-shop indicated where the highback locking lever will eventually rupture.
