NOW Binding (Skate-tech)

[slayer]

Hi everyone,
Has anyone reviewed this binding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvA07aucB-Y on the Dual or similar?

The pivoting base looks like it might be useful for edge-edge transitions, especially on wide boards.

regards,
Slayer.

Hello

We tested NOW Bindings long time ago on the Dual and our conclusion is :

Very good bindings if you take the carbon based "base" version of the binding : model Drive or O-Drive (or the discontinued Recon model)
and forget other models

Thanks Joel.

Could I ask, why is the stiffer carbon better? (don't we want a little flex?). I ask because on soft boots, I went from medium to very stiff carbon Union bindings, and I do not see any benefit (admittedly, the base was not stiffer, but it did have a small o-plate compared to normal bindings).

Also, the rocker skate-tech - was it specifically useful for EC edge-transitioning?

cheers
