    i picked up a pair of these by recommendation of the evo staff. i was a little bit skeptical about the design, but they hold your feet in snug (yet comfortably). the single strap system makes getting in and out very simple and convenient, without sacrificing practicality.

    while these are focused on park riding, they handle well as an all-mountain binding. toe/heel control is surprisingly responsive, and i like how there's plenty of lateral flex for grabs, charging up for kickers, etc.

    the only downside to the design is that your toes are prone to pop out and towards the center of your board. this happens mostly when your boot isn't seated correctly, but i've slipped out a couple times on hard turns or landings.

    overall, a good binding for how innovative the design is.

    Not Worth The Risk

    It is a decent binding, the only thing i hate about it is that the v-strap breaks super fast... It's just not worth the risk...

        So glad I took a chance with these bindings. I just rode them for the first time at Mammoth last week and they are awsome. I'm mostly a freerider so I wasn't sure if I would like them.

          these bindings are the best i've ever used i will admit that they take a while to adjust to your boot but once you get 'em right they are the fastest, best holding, and one of the lightest bindings on the market.

            My favorite Ride binding yet. It takes time to set up, but well worth it. If you want to take a park/freestyle riding feel to the whole mountain it is ideal. Paired with the DH2 you can jib the park, jib the bumps, jib the pow, jib the clif bands, heck, you could even jib the lodge*. (*note: jibbing inside the lodge may impress the ladies, but may also land you in jail and/or civil court, indoor jibbing is not recomended, although it is cool)

              These bindings may not look supportive or comfortable, but they are both of those and more. When I got them set to my boots, I was so surprised to feel how tightly I was strapped in and once I got on the hill and rode them for a day, I was stoked on a great buy!

                these r the sickest bindings ever this is my 2nd year snowboarding. and i have to do downhill to get to freestyle terrains. they take some time to adjust but if you have a ride dealer near u. they will do it. i would recommend this to any park, pipe, freestyle, or just downhill rider.

                  Overall i love the bindings. I have the 2009 but got the 2010 strap (they fit on both). It will take a few times to the mountain and or rail session to get the fit just right, If you dont get them perfect it puts a pressure point on the ball of your foot. The bindings are SUPER FAST to get in and out of. I would strap in on the list and just ride off.

                  The Ride Contraband bindings are great for intermediate to pro riders. They are light, very responsive and perfect for the park. The only con is that they are hard to setup even for the seasoned rider and the better the setup the better the performance.
