2005 O'Brien Radon
The Radon was inspired by Darin Shapiros needs in a binding. The Radon is a front lace binding with a semi-stiff upper cuff for lateral stability and a smooth, flexible forward lean. This binding is the culmination of performance and comfort, giving the rider an unparalleled feel.

These are new to me, used couple times. Foot bed and hold is great. Couple problems are the zipper in back unzips while riding also with zipper in back you cant get to laces to adjust them and tends to over tighten over toe area.

These where my first major upgrade in terms of binding’s, previously having ridden old wrappers. These are very comfortable, offer alot of support, much like my snowboard boots. The base plate is very cusiony which helps esp when riding in chop. The bindings are a bit difficult to get on/off, and are impossible w/o slime for me. The front lace system is a bit of a pain when trying to reset the bindings to get my feet back in due to the material covering the lace system. I found that there are two differnt versions of this boot from the same year, the pair I have are the older. Differance is their is no zipper on the front of the boot, but it is instead located on the back of the boot.

Just got these & have tried them a couple times. So far I love em! Super cush & killer hold. Only thing is when cutting hard & leaning the top of the binding cut into my calf & made me bleed. needs to be softer material there.

The toe wrap inside busted on me after about 5 rides. Found the laces cover a little annoying when trying to adjust while riding. The claw needs some work but a good idea, I lost 2 sets of hardware already, and even tightened them before my ride. Use Locktite or you will be buying more clamps.

These bindings are so great. The only problem is that the bindings gave me scraps the size of quaters on each side of my calves...Dont know whats the deal but for now i just wrap my legs...Ill try to figure it out

The new foot beds are crazy. Super stiff binding, feels like I’m rock’n a snowboard boot. Nothing else out there like it

Very comfortable, Good support, I like the new clamping system. Overall a good binding. I tried on several others, bought the Radon because of best feel and held my heel down best.
