Just bought a Gnu Carbon Credit for my first board, so now I am looking for bindings. I am looking for an all mountain setup and have been checking out the Rome 390 boss and Burton Cartel bindings. I've heard that the 390's are really comfortable, but how well would they pair with a CC? I'm not really interested in park so that isn't really a deciding factor. Thanks for the help
I've had 4 friends with 2014 cartels and they all broke (mainly the Highbacks forward lean tool) Mind you we work at a resort and our boards are our main transportation for 200+ days. I Just bought new Malavitas and haven't ridden them yet. I've ridden a pair of 2010 forum shakas for the last 4 years and put over 300 days on them and they're still holding up. If you can find a pair of shakas or republics (considering forum disbanded) they're definitely worth the search and you can usually get them heavily discounted.
i know a guy that had the same problem. thats the only thing that deters me. and also the malavitas have a metal pin thing that goes through the toe ladder to keep it on the baseplate so if u break the ladder, you cant take it off :shrug:
i ride union forces and after 3 seasons im still on original hardware apart from a friend breaking my toe ladder. easily replaced though. highly recommend union forces
I run union forces on my carbon credit. I couldn't be happier with the set up... It's very a responsive setup yet forgives enough to keep boarding fun. My only gripe is the coreshot I put in it last year but that's my own damn fault. (Fucking rocks)
Get something soft but responsive that will let you bend your knees as much as possible and let you experience riding with your feet. A stiff binding (Malavita for a noob) will have you standing up too straight and riding with too much rotary in your upper body. The Genesis is expensive but it's a super forgiving and flexible binding that will help you progress at this stage. It would be a really good match for your carbon credit. And spend as much on lessons as you have on gear.
Rip it!
