I have some '02 LF Pro LS in size Med. I will let them go for cheap. They are brand new and have never been ridden. I purchased them for my girlfriend and they were too small.
Pro LS

are there any particular features your looking for in bindings?

chasepriest 10-29-2003, 4:03 PM

Thanks Randy but my girlfriend has those and doesnt like them to much. I rode EXOs last year i really liked them, but i got larges and they were to big by the time they were broke in. i want something with a lot of support, and i like my bindings snug, without being impossible to get in and out of. i guess i just need some suggestions really because my description doesnt narrow it down to much.

Lace up bindings are usually easier to get in and out of, compared to one with overlays. Overlays provide and nice stiff feeling, also usually light. My favorite are the Ultra suctions, they are difficult to get in and out of.. I also like the parks, Has support comfortable easy on and off, but they are very heavy

yea i actually bought the parks, but took them back because i wasnt sure thats what i wanted. do you know anything about the new byerly's. i know there were lots of problems with the BOA system last year, i was wondering if they improved at all for this year.

Try the 04 Temet bindings or Parks bindings. I tried the Parks bindings, they are really comfortable, locks safely and secure yet allow movement with ease.. You can try searching the forum on Temet bindings also, there are good reviews.

Hope this helps.

the temet has the boa though, have they fixed it from last years byerlys because there were a lot of problems with those.

You can't go wront with the CWB Zeus'. I have a pair this year and I will be getting another pair next year. Tons of support, very light, and they lock you in. Plus they are easy to get in and out of. By far the best that I have ever used.

chasepriest 10-30-2003, 8:44 AM

i was actually checking those out the other day, they look like they are really comfortable, how is getting on and out of them, and how do they hold up long term.

My girl has the 04 byerly bindings and this last weekend the knob that tightens the bindings fell off. Other than that she loves them, comfortable and easy in and out, with support.

I got mine in March this year, and have used them 2-4 times a week since. The only thing that I did was tighten the Heel Locking Strap, only because it stretched a bit. They are just as good now as they were brand new.

Look at the new Gator bindings. They are pretty sweet. They've got ones with overlays and they've got laceups. I saw a pair of demos Gonzalez made and they are sweet!

It's Shawne. What's up! Didn't like the Parks bindings? I just bought a pair of byerlys and I'm not sure if I like them or not. If you find a pair that you like, let me know. I don't think these byerlys are going to do the trick. laters

ilp00dragon 10-30-2003, 6:36 PM

Maybe you should just go out and try it all... Everyone has different preference.. and everyone has different feet sizes and shapes and stuffs..

cbreed 10-30-2003, 7:08 PM

I would have to say CWB Zeus's. Tese are the best bindings I have ever rode. I used to have a pair of belmounts and some wiley's super pro builds. Zeus's are by far the best in my opinion.

chasepriest 10-31-2003, 8:01 AM

hey shawne whats up man, are you still ridin? Yea i bought the parks had them for bout a week, they just didnt hold me down as much as i liked. so what dont you like about those byerly's? im thinkin bout getting the new exos, becuase i liked my last ones, ill just have to get them in a smaller size. by the way hows that raley comin. hey i gotta a parks dna board too, i love it it has so much pop, plus it doesnt ride to much different than my subjekt did so it didnt take to long to get used to. talk to you later man.

chase,
I loved the parks, but you saw me blow out a bunch. The byerly's, I don't know. Haven't ridden them yet. I guess the option 2 strap not being there is kinda weird. Mark put the boat up too soon, 70's this weekend!! Trying to find somebody to ride with a little this fall/winter, but no luck. Going to San Antonio TX. for thanksgiving week and found a WB school about 30 minutes from home. Probably give it a try. If your out any, gimme a holler if ya got any room. Later

chasepriest 11-04-2003, 9:38 AM

Why dont you try Hyperlite's High back, you can get the 2003's on sale at caribecatalog, I have the 2002's and they feel great.
All hyperlite bindings come with a very nice footbed, wich is also higher than most bindings and that gives you (IMO) better control of the board.
Luchog!
