Is there any tricks to breaking n a new pair of bindings. I got some new 06 transits coming and was hoping to go try out the new board and bindings this weekend??

If they are too tight you can stick soda/beer cans in them to stretch them a little before you ride.

I have used soda cans before and I also put them in a fairly warm bath tub and that seemed to help. I rode my Tranits out of the box and had no issues, maybe you'll have the same experience. Enjoy them.
