Ok Ok If your reading this your probably thinking to your self not again but I need some help. I'm looking at buying some new bindings and don't have the luxury of trying them on before I buy them. I was thinking of possibly getting the parks or belmonts but like I said I don't have the ability to try them on before I buy them. So I'm asking for some help on deciding on which ones are going to be the best for me. Which pair has more support around the ankle to give that locked in feeling? What exactly are you getting out of the forward lean from the parks? And will I have a problem putting either of these bindings on my 03'absolute? Any help in deciding which binding I should get would be appreciated.

It's all preference man, and what works best for you. I ride an Absolute with Parks bindings and I love the set up. Parks bindings allow more freedom of movement than most bindings though. They're not better or worse, just different.

I ride parks and they are great. It would be nice to have a seperate lace for the toes, but that is an easy mod that I can add at anytime. I can get the parks so tight on my ankles that my feet go numb. You are definately locked in with these bindings. I'm sure you wouldn't be dissapointed with the parks. Oh yeah, as for the forward lean, I don't notice it.

I only hear good things about the Belmonts. Should be a little stiffer than the Parks and by the sound of things that is what your looking for. Probably more of a snowboard type feel. Both bindings have killer foot pading and are real easy to get into. I still use soap because it causes less wear and tear on the bindings.

Thanks for the info I was leaning more towards the belmonts just because from what I've read they have a more snowboard type feel to them. But like I said in my post we only have one HL dealer in our area and they are out of both parks and belmonts. Since they are the only dealer that pretty much gives them free reign on price to. So If anybody knows where I can get a good deal on Hyperlite Belmonts I would appreciate it
