Help on flux bindings please!

I’d go a Large with your boot size!!!!!

Don’t even consider getting a Medium!!!!!

The RK has a stiff baseplate, stiff heel/toe response, but has a really soft lateral flex!!!!!

It can be a do all binding, and guys that own and ride them, absolutely rave about them, but they are more Park orientated!!!!!

I’d ask the guys at the store if they’re willing to make the DMCC’s a little cheaper for ya?????

Always worth a shot, and I really feel that with ya stats/terrain type, a stiffer freeride binder is what you should get!!!!!

 

i see. thank you for all the input btw you’re really helpin me out

^ This.

I would consider Burton Cartels. Very good performance and value. One of the best sellers on the market.

But, you’re stoked on the DMCCs. Maybe put them on layby and pay as you can afford it? Small price difference now could mean 200 awesome days on the mountain.

 

yeah, my first choice would be to see what they can do about the DMCC for me. if nothing, then what i will look at is the cartel, rk30, tt30, and rome390boss

tbh im very curious about the rk30 on a not mainly flex board.. if it could handle freeride and have solid responsiveness, i think the lateral flexyness would feel kinda cool.. of course i wouldnt know though lol. i cant help but think a binding like the rk would have trouble catching edges on a 161 W frame but lmk if im wrong cuz if not, i will definitely look more into the rk as well!

This is what I’d be getting if I was after a stiffer all mountain binding, probably in your price range too with the end of season snow sales on over there right now.

I like mine a little softer and went the Rodeo,

I would def put the Cartel & TT30 before the Boss and RK, based on ya stats, and ya board/boots!!!!!

But like rider said, layby/scrape/scrounge, and get the DMCC’s if ya can!!!!!
