Yup, just bought a snowboard. And now i am unsure what bindings i would like to get.

I have a 152 K2 WWW Rocker, and will end up with 32 Lashed boots. I am on the beginner level, but will progress quickly to lots of park, and lots of jibbing everywhere on the slopes.

I have looked at the Technine MFM Classic, but i would like to get some that my shop carries, since i get 30% off lol.

Any ideas?

union forces all the way.... they are the best binding ever and a super nice company. I have the same set up as you but my board is a 147 you will love it, its like the funnest board to jib on ever,and the 32 lashed is a really nice park boot..

Yeah the force is one steady binding. You could think about K2's own auto or a Rome 390.

good luck

Go with the K2 Sweaters. They look sick on this years dub. I might sell you mine cheap. I like the 390's a lot too.

Ask your shop staff! Something soft and durable is what you need.

rome 390's are really sick.  but i have the salomon chief's on my graft.  they're the jumpoff.  no one touches salomon for bindings as far as i'm concerned.  they're way light, durable, they look sick, and are very modestly priced for the level of badness that they bring to a setup.

ignoring all the burton hate, id say go for cartels... by far the nicest binding ive ever used, and burton has a lifetime warranty on their baseplates, and i have heard that they are very good about their warranties...

get the new 390s, you wont regret it. soft high with just enough stability to actually ride with, super soft ankle strap and the best toe strap going right now. and the chassis is dope, actually wraps under the two which no one else is doing with a plastic/metal chassis

What brands does your shop carry?

Some good binding companies:


Burton:    Pros: Responsive and light Cons: expensive, you pay more for what you get

Union: Pros Light durable responsive very good value Cons: Nothing  

K2 Pros light  Cons not durable


Rome: No experience, have not seen many people  with them

flux: Shit

flow  Even worse
