I checked those out but I went with the Drake F60's instead.

Already have 4 days of riding on them (along with this seasons Salomon Malamutes and last seasons Never Summer Premier T5 165). Absolutely love the Drakes.

I just read too many things about the Ride's ratchet bindings not being very good. Granted, they have a completely new one on their top models (flight included), but no one had any experience with them about a month ago when I bought my stuff. So I went with Drake which everyone raves about and now I do too.

good stuff, i'm looking forward to friday, hopefully 1st day on the slope, i have a head ignition board, new brand. but should be becoming real popular i think. idk. i like the deck setup for adjusting distance inbetween bindings. i had burton bindings, hated them needed something new, i think i'll like these alot.

Ouch. I wouldn't even pay 250 CDN for them.. cheap rachet straps and I didn't like the rachets themselves either. Just not worth that kind of coin when you look at the competition.

Nothing wrong with them, just way overpriced.

Ah, you basteeds! I wish there was some place to snowboard within an hour or two around my house, but nooo. Gah, I can't wait to move to Oregon/Washington.

LOL, those bindings are prolly worth more than my old board!!! Of course my old board sucks (it was a hand-me-down) and I haven't boarded since I left NH.

Last years Ride's got ripped apart on the snowboard forums due to the horrible ratchets and straps. So Ride came out with a completely new one this year, at least for the higher models.

But I decided to spend $180 and get the Drake F60s with proven ratchets/straps rather than $250 on the Ride's with unproven ones.
