Trust me, the contact is hyped up as a park binding, but it does just as well as an all mountain binding. I was worried how the contact would ride outside the park because the highback is super flexible, but i have no complaints

I know people act as if you dont have the exact right gear it wont work.

Contacts are alright but you're going to get a better baseplate with the forces and much better straps. Get the forces.

well, i may lean towards the forces then.....i wonder how they would compare to the burton missions ive been riding this year flexability wise?

i had the mission, upgreded to the forces and il never go back. im mostly all park and the forces seemed just right. They weight bout the same as the contacts but the baseplate is def. upgraded and the strap is very durable.
