I've been reading around the forums for a while. Right now, I thinking of buying a SWORD Dual and try to figure out which kind of binding I should get.
To my person: I am 1,73, 63 kg and have been riding "race" boards for more than 15 years (approx. seven days a winter, not every season but most of). I really like to carve, but unfortunately due to my crappy technique
there are too few suitable pistes in the areas I have been to, to have ideal conditions for hard core carving.As I am getting older now, I'd like to ride with my fellows who are skiing a lot on a very professional level (cruising around the area all day preferably red slopes...). As you all may know, it's very exhausting to keep up with those pacemakers.
Last month, I have been boarding with my girlfriend's crappy entry-level board and had so much fun! This experience pushed me into getting a freeride-board aka SWORD Dual, which I hope for can be used for "entry-level carving" in smaller turns on steeper slopes and is the better overall choice when riding with fast paced skiing buddies.
Back to topic: which binding do you guys advise me to buy? I prefer to stay on the pistes and would still like to have a very stiff setup. I've heard of K2 Cinch or Flow NXT which have the easy entry advantages... but may have downsides as well (i.e. fewer control while riding?). Which binding do you ride and advise me to get?
Any comment appreciated!
