Parks 140 and Bindings

Hey,

I just picked up an 05 parks 140 and same year/model bindings. I rode last year's 138 with size large bindings. This year, I stepped the bindings up to XL because the LG was a little too tight and I've heard people mention the 05 Parks have a tougher entry.

The problem is these XLs look HUGE on the 140 board. I'm a little worried about toe/heel drag. Last year on the 138 and LG bindings, if I edged hard on the toe side I would sometimes "catch" and face plant. I haven't tested them out yet and was wondering if anyone else riding a Parks 140 with XL bindings has any drag problems?

I ride with the 04 XL bindings. I have not had a big prob with them you should be okay. I think it has to do with proper edging too so i think youll be ok.

Do any of you have problems with the board coming out from underneath you when jumping? I constantly have this problem with this board. I think its my edging, but I don't know what I am doing wrong.

i know the rocker makes the board loose in the middle but i haven't had any problems with it coming out from under me. you got a video of what's happening?
