Hey guys,
As someone who doesn't board, I'm at a loss for the different kind of bindings out there for boards for my son this year.
He's obviously outgrown his old bindings, or at least will by snow time, so I at least need to get him new bindings for next year.
Since he busted his old ones twards the end of last year, he used rentals a few times, and he *really* liked being able to just click in, but I've hard that the integrated click in, umm, 'flat plate' bindings really aren't all that great. I did see a binding twards the end of last year that looked like a cross between the two, in that it worked like a normal binding, but there was a hinge 'thingy' (Very technical term) that let the back of the binding come down so you could basically slide in and lock in the backside.
Any info on these, pro's, con's? I'd prefer someone on the affordable side as money this year will probrably be a little tighter then years past due to unforseen expenses cropping up.
