Liquid Force Bindings......Holy Crap!!

I've been wakeboarding for a few years and have always owned Hyperlite. My first board was a 02 Premier DNA 140 with 02 Parks bindings, my current board is an 05 Parks DNA 140 with 05 Parks bindings, my wakeskate and wakesurf are both Hyperlite....so, me saying this kind of makes me feel like a trader...Buuuttt..HOLY CRAP, Liquid Force Bindings are VERY nice! I have never ridden Liquid Force before, but rode some Sphyxs today. Wow! I couldn't believe how comfortable they where. To me, they were easier to get in and out of, more supportive, and more plush feeling than my Parks. Don't get me wrong, I still like my Parks. However, I guess I was pretty nieve to think that Hyperlite was the only company that made the high end, products.

I think one reason I really liked the Sphyx is because of how nice they were on my injured ankle. A couple months ago I hurt the thendons that run over the top part of my right foot/ankle. With the Sphyx, getting in and out was very easy. They also felt more supportive, or stiffer, than my Parks (which is a good thing with a sore ankle).

I did not start this thread to start a Hyperlite / Liquid Force battle! I am just stating my opinion and am wanting to let people know to try different brands. I am sure there are other bindings out there that I would also like.

I do have to add that I also rode a LF Team board today and didn't care for it too much. It tracked ok but didn't have nearly as much pop as my Parks. I REALLY like the 05 Parks board and will probably hang on to it for a wile. But, isn't it illegal, in some states, to put Liquid Force bindings on a Hyperlite wakeboard?
