Aight ya'll, im buying all new gear this year and I need help deciding which bindings i should get. I bought a Morrow wide 159 board. and I got some new vans boa-style boots. (http://www.the-house.com/vn2ec085b5zzvans.html) but I cant decide which bindings, its between some Rides ones (http://www.ridesnowboards.com/bindin...p?productid=28) and some Flow bindings (flow website wont let me link to them, but they are the MK5, kinda like the AMP5 that are listed in the products section)

anyone have any suggestions? I do mostly freeride / mountain, very little park stuff.

P.S. I rode Step-Ins before this (the ones w/ the big bars on the sides of the boots)

I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!

well, I don't have any personnal experience w/ flow
I have always had Ride.
One of my friends used to have flow, (the kind that you just step in and snap the back piece in. but now he has a pair of Ride.

This was a few years back, but I think he liked the ease of in & out, but didnt fit as tight and give as much support as a "normal" binding.
"normal" bindings arent that hard tho....

Last season I bought the Drake, Mikey LeBlancs. I'd say they are the best bindings I ever stepped into. Super simple ratchet style. You don't have to mess around with wour mitts tryin to get in and out of them. They have a metal heel cup whic makes them real solid. I had actually bought a set of Tech 9's with that weird strap that kind of goes in front of your boot. They sucked and I returned them the very next day. I have a size 13 boot and when I did a toe side carve the strap would come loose and i'd end up eatin' eat....anyway, Mikey LeBlancs if you can find 'em are awesome.
