Please, advice needed

Post by justneedtoask » Monday 17 December 2012, 14:21

Hello Forum,

as I have recently decided to comitt fully to learning extreme carving skill I would like to know more about some things. In particular it is the bindings. Please if there are any EC snowboarders, who have some real-feal experience with ec ( :pray2: :dogeyes: :pray: swoard team, please :pray: :dogeyes: :pray2: ), please, could anyone help me ? I would like to know what is your opinion on this model of bindings - F2 Intec Titanflex (http://f2.com/snow/bindings.php?L=1&artikel=103) and wheter they are or arent well suited for extreme carving. I would really appreciate if there would be someone who owns and uses these to answer this request.

Thanx for all help,
Samuel

In my mind those are too hard - no flex enought - and too high. Sold them away...
I´ve used these now three season:

Just quick note, those linked by Matti works well if you are not big or agressive rider.

Mr Whitey has used these even longer than me and he´s much more bigger and stronger EC rider and he has never broken any of these bindings unlike F2 Race Titanium :mrgreen: .

OK, thank you. :bravo:
I am still only trying to learn ec , cant do it right now, so I think my riding wont get aggressive for some time :? , but I am quite big - around 192 cm, 92 kg, so which problems excatly could it produce for me ?? (this type of bindings)
Yea, one thing I want to ask is which ones are generally better for ec-> the bindings with lever? so the clipping part, used to clip the tip of your boots or the bindings that came lately out, the ones with holes at the heel part clipping, used with boots that have these spike, thorns coming out of the heels. e.g. F2 intec titanflex which I have...
and lets say I decide to go learning ec with the F2 Intec Titanflex bindings, will it have only minimum effect or will it affect my riding greatly??

Please, continue sending your opinions I welcome warmhearted any useful tips.
Thanx,
SAmuel

On your size me personally would not use those bindings.
In general bail-bindings are recommended for EC mainly due they allow more flex.
