if you havent seen thats it that all get it from itunes. if you have it, watch the park city section again. there is a close up shot of his bindings and they are burtons. i couldn't tell if they are missions or cartels. apparently, lib tech hasn't convinced him of bent metal bindings, yet.

i whole-heartly disagree. burton bindings are the bomb. my missions broke this year after two hundred days or so. not even a strap broke until i shattered the highback. im interested in unions. everyone says their good. but airblaster and technine, what a fucking joke.

the only thing im disappointed in on my unions is the toe strap. after years of rockin the toe cap im all about it. dont remember if the union one is supposed to be universal but i still tried it for the shits and giggles of it and could never get it to work. but man! what a solid binding. bought another of technine's this year and the straps wernt nearly as thick as the unions were. if ur lookin for solid, this is def th company to go with...

maybe if your talking about the old burton bindings. I have to pair of freestyles from about 7 years ago that were awesome. They held up for years and were pretty good bindings. I just dont like burton products these days. i can find better ways to spend my money

union does have a cap strap you just have to reset the toe strap in the binding. also unions are the only binders i know of that have an adjustable heel cup to base plate. any way burton bindings suck in general. they are the most unresponsive bindings on the market (next to solomons) i went from the c 60's to union froces and it was like going from a buick to a porsch. and weight wise the forces are just a fraction heavier then the c 60's

yea, but any company that their best seller is a leg bag, just sucks. oh wait, there is only one company that makes leg bags and has to have another company make their bindings: airblaster.

actually i thought they were a paperclip company. and that the legbag was for holding your paperclips. i'm pretty sure. when i find the original press release i'll post it on here.
