Comments about Ride Contraband Snowboard Bindings 2009:

these r the sickest bindings ever this is my 2nd year snowboarding. and i have to do downhill to get to freestyle terrains. they take some time to adjust but if you have a ride dealer near u. they will do it. i would recommend this to any park, pipe, freestyle, or just downhill rider.

Comments about Ride Contraband Snowboard Bindings 2009:

These bindings may not look supportive or comfortable, but they are both of those and more. When I got them set to my boots, I was so surprised to feel how tightly I was strapped in and once I got on the hill and rode them for a day, I was stoked on a great buy!

Comments about Ride Contraband Snowboard Bindings 2009:

i picked up a pair of these by recommendation of the evo staff. i was a little bit skeptical about the design, but they hold your feet in snug (yet comfortably). the single strap system makes getting in and out very simple and convenient, without sacrificing practicality.

while these are focused on park riding, they handle well as an all-mountain binding. toe/heel control is surprisingly responsive, and i like how there's plenty of lateral flex for grabs, charging up for kickers, etc.

the only downside to the design is that your toes are prone to pop out and towards the center of your board. this happens mostly when your boot isn't seated correctly, but i've slipped out a couple times on hard turns or landings.

overall, a good binding for how innovative the design is.

Comments about Ride Contraband Snowboard Bindings 2009:

these bindings are the best i've ever used i will admit that they take a while to adjust to your boot but once you get 'em right they are the fastest, best holding, and one of the lightest bindings on the market.
