Let me preface by saying I am a heelside hero somewhat beginner, but I just rode my faction bindings for the first time and had to post about it. I put these bindings on my ole freemotion board because my fins have not arrived yet for my ONE board. Right out of the gate it felt like I was riding a whole new board. Every move my legs made, the board followed. I can blame this on the awesome heel hold. For the record my old bindings were the stock freemotion Icons. This was my second run of the year. My first run of the year (last week), I was really frustrated cause I couldn't make the coveted W2W I had mastered at the end of last summer. When I popped in the new bindings today, I landed 6 back to back to back, etc... I never pulled that many off last summer. So I wanted to post this for any beginners out there. Shell out the bucks for some good bindings. There are tons of threads on hear talking about how upgraded gear only helps really good riders but this upgrade was awesome for me. Peace, Dirty D
