I recently broke an older pair of Hyperlite Murray Bindings [2006] I caught a Back Edge and the Boa System Broke, the band came off, and it messed up my riding. They were my favorite bindings I've ever been in, perfect for pokin' out my grabs just the way I like, with some awesome heel toe response. when they broke I wasn't sure I wanted to bring them back or not, but eventually did because I hear Hyperlite is awesome with thier warranties, and they are. I brought them back to my local shop, showed them the damage, and they gave me new ones, it was awesome, and I'm very appreciative of the people that work at that shop. The first time I rode the Murray Bindings, my friend told me that I would hate them the first ride, which I expected and did. I gave them a few more rides, and tehy did get to be a little more comfortable, but I'm more concerned with how stiff they are meant to be. The 2008 Murray bindings changed in style completely to accomodate murrays ACL recovery which is cool because a lot of riders mess up thier knees etc., however I loved the old ones, and these, not so much. They are very comfortable, easy to get into, I can tell they put a lot of work into these bindings, but they just aren't for me, it feels like my riding changed. after a frustrating set, I switched over to my brother's setup to relax a bit, it's my old ONE with CELL bindings that are too small, I really really like the bindings other than the fact that my toes were curled over the entire ride. Sorry for the long back story, but heres my question, would it be wrong to try to sell the new murray bindings to someone that would enjoy them for what they are, so I could buy the bindings that I want? I'm thinking about it in my head and it seems kinda wrong, but I don't know what I should do... Thanks, Trevor.
