snowboarders: any ideas on what are the "best" strap-in bindings?

[MazerRackham]

I've got some Burton bindings from two seasons ago, but I just got a new NeverSummer SL 158 Anyway, I'd like to get new bindings also but I'm not sure what to get...

I know Burton makes good bindings, but who makes the best "cool" bindings?? I'd like to keep it around $150 for them. Thanks!

Ride makes nice bindings...my bro has 'em (LS) and I borrowed em. I think they are pretty good.

Ah yeah, I always forget about Flow... and I'll take a look at Rides too. Thanks!

Any other opinions on this?

Drake is great. I have a set, and I couldn't be happier.

Forum makes some good bindings....highly recommended.

Hey cool, so I was wondering about these Flow bindings... are they really better than traditional strap bindings or are they just a better alternative to step-ins?

OH!! And I was also wondering if anyone knows if there's a decent "training facility" for snowboarding in SoCal. What I'm talking about is a place where they have big hits with foam block-filled areas behind it, so you can practice complicated tricks without killing yourself
