Upgrade SF45 to DMCC's? - Snowboarding Forum

ecks · 10-25-2010, 03:30 PM

So I got my Flux SF45's from backcountry and they are awesome them but I was able to sell my old gear and have the some extra cash to spend on some more stuff (got a wax kit, some gloves, etc). I was also considering exchanging the SF45s for the DMCCs and have been talking myself out of it and then talking myself into it. I know its not a needed upgrade but I have been going back and forth all day. Should I go for the DMCCs????

Its going on a '11 NS Heritage board, I'm and intermediate rider and spend most of my time freeride but might try hit some park this season, which obviously goes against what the binding is for, but still. Just need someone to convince me to go either way.

Oh man...That is one tough choice. The DMCC's are soooo sick. But honestly the SF45's are prob the best binding for you considering your riding level and desired riding style.

^^Agreed. I think DMCC's are only right for a few people out there. If you're the type that just will not ride any anti-camber cause you just don't get the power and edgehold you do with reg-camber, DMCC's will be a good fit. But usually only for that guy, that guy that rides super hard and fast.

I have last year's Feedbacks which are the SF45 basically, and absolutely loved them. I ordered a set of the DMCC which is still on its way so I can't really comment on it yet. It's supposed to be their stiffest binding, so I plan to try it out on my Heritage and pow board, and see where I like them best. It's def not a freestyle binding though.

Thanks for the input guys. I think my skewed reasoning almost got the better of me. If something is within the bounds of my spending I will always consider it regardless of if it's the best choice...that's why I use this forum, brings me back down land when all I can see is pow.

Now the wait for snow, thankfully NYC is a cool 70 again today
