Eli the bamf · 07-20-2011, 11:23 PM

Hey guys, i got a 2011 Capita Indoor Survival at the end of last season and had my mind set on getting the 2011 union forces,problem is i cant find them annnnywhere

.So I was wondering if anyone knew of any bindings similar?Something mid flex would be great.Im not too concerned about price,just want a quality binding.Also if anyone has already tried out the 2012 Forces I'd like your opinion on those.Thanks

2012 forces will ride the same as 2011 except the toestrap got shittier. In fact they'll ride the same as 2008 forces cause that binding has not changed a bit. 4 Year old binding for this year price...

Flux TT30's, Rome 390's, or 2012 Raiden Battery's.

shit nivek. If you're going to hate on them so much you could at least say they haven't changed since 05/06, or that they haven't changed since drake binders from the late 90's.

Am I supposed to be impressed that you know when union started or that their designers came from Drake? I'm not. I hate on them cause they, unlike pretty much everyone else in the industry, are still putting out the exact same bindings they did their first year. Sure they've added models, but all of the original models are identical to their first year.

Raiden, K2, Flux, Ride, Burton, Flow, Rome and hell even Gnu are doing things different for 2012
