Transit or Teams?

Should I buy the Transits or the Teams, because I can get a really good deal on either?

Go try them on, demo if possible.

Have you had a chance to try them on yet? I dont really think thats its a thing where one is better than the other, from the sounds of it its all about preference when comparing the 2. If you include some information about how you like bindings to fit then your probably going to get a better response on this board. Do you like higher ankle support, or do you like to poke out your grabs... thats the kind of stuff people need in order to give you and honest answer to this question.

I havent ridden the Teams but I have the Transits and I dont see how I could possibly be happier with a bindings. The comfort level is like nothing you have ever felt. They are very supportive but provide plenty of flexibilty to poke out grabs. You will definetly not go wrong with either. The Teams will offer you more stability to your ankles and lace up in the back. Other then that just pick your favorite color

I wish there was a place within 100 miles where I can demo. So how do you like that LSV?

Andrew ~ let me say it b4 everyone else does....GET THE PARKS

J/K bro. both boots are the shizzle. You should try them on to see what fits your foot best. I tried the transit and the footbed was a little short, but the binding was really nice. I ride the teams now (all long with 15 other people I know) and everyone loves these bindings. I have not found a better pair out there (for my foot). If they both fell really good than go for looks. The LE Transits look sick with the camo and the LE teams are sick as well. On the other hand the all black transit have an "outlaw" look that is just sick. I don't think you would not happy with either, but ever foot is different so just demo some from a shop or a friend and go from there.

Good luck on your search.

Try on the Teams before you buy them. I had to cut the rubber pieces on the back of my ankles otherwise it was impossible to get my feet in. I had to do this cuz i bought them on Ebay so i couldnt return them. And yes, that will void the warranty.

It depends on the kind of ankle support you like. From my experience, I've ridden the '05s of both bindings (I own the teams, my bro has the transits). The transits have a looser feel for upper ankle support, and I was able to poke out some grabs really nice when I rode them. The teams are really stiff. My preference is to a boot w/ more ankle support. What do you like?

nice review Joe.

I currently have a pair of Ultras and after that read, I want to get some Teams.

I ride the Parks '03 right now and they are a little to flexible for my taste, but they are great bindings I'm selling them for $100.
