Not to start a this is better was but i always had parks bindings and sold them for more than i paid so i bought some highbacks and dont like them at all, i ride with my knees bent and these dont seem to like me riding like that. Im trying to decide to go back to parks or the LF Sphynx, i have not heard any reviews of the lf so any oppinions would be great. Thanks

I am curious to see how you like them. Please post your feelings after you get them on the water. I was a dedicated HL binding fan up to a week ago. Went with the LF 05 alphas and was amazed at the comfort and ride.

how do the 05 alphas performe for you i ride the 04 byerlys but they seem kinda big but i love them im lookin to get new bindings and im wonderin if i should stick with hyperlite or go with liquid force

The alphas are amazingly comfortable. Perform great. Nice snug fit. Best I could say is to try on a pair and see if they are going to work for you. Everybodies foot is differant.

I bought the Sphynxs early this summer and ripped the bolts right out the bottom on a huge double up raley within a month. And yes, they were properly mounted and all bolts torqued correctly. Both bindings also began tearing at the ankle prematurely. LF of course honored the warranty, but I've had to wait 2 months and still waiting for the 05's to replace them. Granted I'm 210# and hit a lot of doubles, but I was still disappointed at the condition of my Sphynx after one month, especially since I've now been forced back into my old bindings for the rest of the short Michigan summer. All in all, equipment with all the hype should easily outlast my 30 year old body
