Switchback bindings

Avatar

Yo,

Has anyone had any experience with switchback bindings? Ive currently got a set of holden/union collab bindings and when I do decent jumps or rails and dont land perfect the toe strap and ankle strap on my backfoot loosen - super annoying if the park is flowing and you have to ride into a new feature soon after landing..

Anyway, taking advice on a new set of bindings likely to be matched with a new capita board (prob indoor survival).

Cheers,
Cam

Sup,

They are very flexible, particualy the highback. It will be the first thing you’ll notice if you ever get to play with them. They offer so little response I don’t get how Halldor and co can land big jumps in them??

The straps and ratchets looked ‘ok’ though.

I thought bindings coming loose was a thing of the past. Any decent brand should have that sorted out.

Just get some mid range Burtons and be happy smile

The last time I looked, they don’t have forward lean adjustments, which is a red flag for me. Personally I like some forward lean on my highbacks.
