Best Bindings For Me

So right now i have the 2008 LTD Ricky G bindings their nice but i like a boot that has really good high ankle support. So i might be selling them. I am looking at the 08 Watson's. How is their high ankle support and i also like a boot thats kind of stiff.

I will take suggestions on any bindings though.

Slingshot boots have an inner ankle specific lace that holds your ankle super tight.

steeze,
what year of HL murray's are you recommending?

(shredsickgnar)

I second the Slingshots.

(sidekicknicholas)

the 08 byerly's and murrays are pretty stiff

CWB Zeus, super supportive, high and stiff

Second the Zeus, if you like clean lines and solid support they are the ticket.

the slingshots are nice but they're a pain in my opinion. they fit like snowboard boots. rigid.

the watsons arent super stiff but they're stiffer. not a very high cut boot tho. the murray's are much taller in that sense.

I gotta throw in the mix the hyperlite 3ds / Atlas. I rode 3ds over the last 2 seasons and looks wise there not much. But as far as performance goes... WOW!!!! AWESOME high ankle support! Stiff in the back, you can poke still but they make it harder! And pricewise you can pick them up easy for under $200!!! LF Watsons felt about the same as far as stiffness and support however i will say the footbed is a little nicer on the watsons but they werent for me as they fit a little to snug for my likings over the top of my foot. Just my .02 cents

Thanks I don't really like the zeus boot to much i have ridden them a couple times and i feel like i am going to get blisters. I have some Slingshot D2 and their nice so i might stick with them and the Ricky's are to loose up top for me. So i rode the Watson board for the first time the other day and hit some sliders with it. Its a pretty sick board but i gets torn up fast!How does the lyman compare with the Watson?

Can you get a really wide stance out of the Lyman?

With the slingshot boots, is the ankle specific lace only on the 08 boots? or is it the same with the 07's?

They only come in the 08 boots but i imagine you could put them in the 07.
