i have some contrabands and they are light and soft, so i would go for them, but if you are also planning on going all over then forces.
but jibs and rails i would go for contabands.

i thought the contrabands were among the lightest of all bindings because of lack of a toestrap?

i guess its cuz of the metal frame instead of plastic...the lighest binding i have ever ridden are the p1.1 which i own a pair for my all mountain freestyle board RIDE DH...more adivce for the forces and contraband

forces. contrabands were cool, but the flex was still pretty stiff.

Well if its not an '11 Kink I recommend Contacts. Thats what I have on mine and quite like the way the ride.

If not those, then maybe Hurrithanes or the Contrabands.
