I am looking for new bindings and am right now looking at either rome or union bindings, but I am up for other sugestions. I'm looking for a good park binding for an intermediate rider who mostly rides boxes and rails. I am really light, only 75 lbs, i'm not sure if that matters at all.
romes tend to have good flex. bindings like ride are practically indestructible, but very stiff sometimes, i'd go with maybe the rome arsenal, shift, or 390s
75 lbs? how old are you? are you full grown? if not i would not waste the money on gear you will outgrow in a year or two just pick up a set of last years missions for like 50.
Eh my best bet would be for how young you are and how much the market will change by the time you are truly done growing i would just get a decent but cheap set of bindings save the money now so you have for later when you can get a bad ass setup
i dont really see how? bindings are incredibly personal preference while there are some outstanding features on both i wouldnt say oppostie ends. in another targa thread i stated the idea of this. My bf has a set of the 08 missions loves em he rode targas 3 consecutive days on the mountain disliked em and didnt see what all the hype was about. some of his points high back rotation on mission easier and more incremental. toe strap in the cap feature was worthless for him. and to put it in his words "if i went and bought both these off the shelf there is nothing that i would see to make me pay $100+ more for the targa rather just buy two sets of missions." so while i have ridden neither i will say its all preference. and for someone who is 14 going big status on a binding that will more then likely be obsolete by the time he sees 15 doesnt seem logical.
How do you think union contacts, cadets dlx, or cadets would be? I can find them both at a price pretty similarly to the burton mission.
