The Prima bindings are getting NASTY. They are expected to arrive in the USA and be shipping later in Sept.

Thx for the quick response, I'll be watching your website for availability.

this has probably been asked already, but when can we expect reviews on these things?

I'll review mine in 60+ days when I can actually hit the snow

I have a few buddies that rode these last year out west at some trade show thing a ma job. They actually liked them to, said the new toe cap system gave great control and response. It was also more of a conventional feel to a 2 strap system. Not sure the terrain and they just went high level in their review of what they thought of them.

Slyder, could you give us a carpet boarding/bouncing around review? I'm mostly interested in the comfort of the new strap. Was any of that customary Flow comfort of the single strap lost? I'm thinking of getting the NX2 SE's like you.

Something like this would be awesome. I know prelim reviews of the bindings weren't the greatest, but I also read changes were in place for the final product.

My local store offers a bit of a discount if you order early, so I'm really eager to hear any type of a review on these to help me make a decision.

Straight up, I feel like the cap needs to be tweaked. All it does as of now is stop your foot from going to far. It doesn't like to sit on top of your boot like a typical toe cap. The new strap is easier to keep tight and get in and out of though. Even on the non-Nasty's.

been swamped with house projects that if I don't get done, wife won't let me get our passes till done.

I'll try to fit some time in to take a video, still sitting in the box

For some reason...based on the videos flow has up on their website...I assumed that when the bindings were open the toe cap acted at a stop to your boot going to far...and then when the bindings were closed as part of the tightening process they would work their way on top of the boot.

Or is it a case of...they are supposed to work their way on top of the boot but depending on your boot they may or may not do so?
