Question on equipment weight vs. performances
(Performances = ECing, overall manouevrability etc....)
1) If the bindings are heavy, is this good/bad for the overall riding performance ?
2) What if the boots are heavy ?
3) How about the boards ?
I am asking this because I only weight 60kg and just order a pair of X-bone Carbon and I find them to be rather heavy. Just curious...

Hi Peter,
i can´t help you with your questions, BUT
don´t waste your money on Raichle X-Bones.
They are not stable enough for EC-Carving, even not for normal carving.
I used the Carbon ones too, and broke two of them during carving.
And it is really no fun, to walk down the perfect groomed slopes in the morning and to lose a lot of time because of such a s.... binding.
So, if you can, send them back and get Bombers, Catecs or F2.
Now i use the F2 Titanflex, which is quite stable and not so expensive than the Bombers or Catecs are.
