Hey guys and gals,
For the last 3 seasons I've been using a pair of 2010-2011 Burton Custom bindings, and they've been okay to me, they haven't cracked, shattered or spontaneously combusted. There've been some features that they lack, like canting for which I made my own duct tape canting wedges (they work, don't knock 'em before you try 'em), but now that I have a little more spending money on my hands, I was wondering whether there is any significant advantage in getting a higher end pair rather than an entry level. I've been eyeballing the 2014 390 Bosses to pair with my Blacklist.
For reference I'm an advanced intermediate (according to the forum you must be able to go down triple blacks in a handstand to be an expert) who's snowboarded for 8 years, 4 of them seriously.
So would an upgrade in binding have a noticeable effect on performance, or should I just stick with my cheapies?
Thanks,
glm
