  | yea, sorry i didn't clarify that. i have never heard a single problem about the older one's. what ever improvements were made were definitely minor and not a reason to shy away from an older pair if you can find one reasonably priced. i still don't think it is a good idea to driving market value prices by purchasing a used pair for more than original purchase price.

 There were some 2 day old freerides on ebay today for $250 which I would pick up, but they were a small, and my foot is already 295mm so im scared my next boot might be over 305mm, so they wouldnt even fit in a year or two

| well I did it, it took a while but i ended up doing a good job and not screwing up  that tail clip is a serious pain, if you dont get the legnth perfectly right it does work, no room for error what so ever. It still doesnt stay well. I think I have to get some sort of bungy cord string to hook up to the back of binding(there is a little hook made for this) then tie to the clipfix system, because it doesnt seem like it will stay how it is now.

| damn, what type of skins did you get? i really enjoy the G3's clip because it stretchs and can secure the skin at various lengths allowing some room for error.
