CAST Binding/Green Mountain Freeride/ Lars Chickering-Ayers Binding is live!

Finally, the Kickstarter for the CAST Si &I /GMF/Lars Chickering-Ayers binding is up.

Kickstarter :http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...ystem?ref=live

Cast Site: http://casttouring.com/

We know there has been a ton of interest in this system based on http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ide-AT-Binding

Once the Kickstarter has enough commitments they will go to production. These puppies have been well engineered and extremely well tested.
Feel free to ask me any questions and I will answer them or will get the info straight from Lars and the boys. They are unbelievably stoked to get this thing up and running, so any support is greatly appreciated.
All of the requests for other binding hole patterns, removable heels with different bale designs and the lot ARE BEING WORKED ON. Once they get things rolling on production they will get more parts out there to cover everyone's desires.

So... go donate you guys, tours like a dynafit skis like a pivot, this is what weve been waiting for.

Do you know anything about whether or not these will be compatible with lower DIN bindings? I can't ride a 15 DIN binding, even when charging the kind of lines that you need to tour to get.

Yep!

Tyrolia has clamps that go pretty low din that would use the same holes.

What din do you ride at btw? just cause its a 14 din binding doesnt mean you need to be at 14.

Not to bump my own thread but blister just released an awesome review of the CAST system.

And, to my buddy up there, px120/axial2 120 would work as well for a low din option.

I ride at about an 8, even in BC, so an 18 din or 14 din binding would be unnecessary. But a 12 or 14 might work!

I really hope they meet the backing goal! I'm considering doing one of the "donations" where you get the system in return, once my tax return shows up.
