Just browsin the web then, and there are some conflicting opinions on exactly how stiff these suckers are!!!!!

which?  the raidens?  Nitro themselves say it’s a park binding, although they give it a response rating of 6, versus 9 for their carvey one and their freestyle binding is 7.  Meh, confused as usual!

From the site -

The New softer FLEX Beam highback delivers skate-like flexibility combined with lightweight performance making the ZERO binding BOSS. The Zero has a re-designed toe strap that is minimal yet provides better foothold and contours to your?boot in any setting. The performance side of this binding makes it great for park laps or hitting the rail down the street. The FTI AIR chassis now incorporates our Aluminum mini disc, providing the ultimate in board feel and flex. The Zero gives you?the confidence to put it down on flat landings without worry of bruising your heels. This binding is solid, lightweight and made for all-terrain destruction.

They seem to talk it up as a park/street binder, then whack the all-mountain in at the end!!!!!!

I’m still guessin that it will be a softer binding for sure!!!!!

Good luck with this one, Mud!!!!!

Bottom Line:
We’re guessing ‘Zero’ is supposed to describe your chances of not having fun on this binding.

Either that or it is descibin the person that has just spent their hard earned moola on this product?????

I’m tellin my Mum on you!!!!!!

after all that I think I will give them a ride.  From one review it looks like the zeros are supposed to be responsive edge-to-edge but have lateral flex for tricks and stuff.  If that’s right then they should do the trick.  Will report back when I’ve ridden them.  If they’re no good, I’ll be on the batphone to Jez.

Sounds like a plan!!!!!!
