Flow Binding 2013 Q & A

Hi,

2013 will be our 18th year selling Flow, so this puts a big smile on my face. Minds will be blown this year. The new line is so full of tech and options that I thought a Q & A might be in order. This year almost everything in the binding line has been reworked from the ground up. The Flow team has been torture testing variation after variation of these new designs for two years and has finally put their stamp of approval on the final product. Fire away if you have any Q's. We will be sure to get you quick answers.

As promised, here at some pictures of my silver/green NX2-AT I just got in from WiredSport! These things are awesome. Nice and light, and feel the same weight as my 2012 Rome 390 Boss bindings. Made a couple videos of the NASTY strap, new ratchets, and my first kick-in to show what its like. It wasn't one and done as you will see, but I expect it to be easier on the mountain with some snow/water to make it slide better. These are size L, boots are K2 Maysis size 10. Let me know if you have any questions, or want specific pics.

Thanks Flaus. That settles it for me. I'm getting the NX2-SE's. I'm a little worried about losing that zero pressure feel of the normal strap but with our man made snow here it can be weirdly dry at times making it hard to get in.

Hi guys,

One suggestion from the video. When your boot is kicked in, lift the highback a little and put your full weight on your heel. It will slide you right in to the perfect spot. Just trying to lift the back will make it much harder. The gummy rubber on the heel sole of your boot can make this a little sticky in your (warm) home but in the cold and with the moisture from snow, ice, pow, etc. it is very slick.

Stoked to see that setup!

Ordered a pair of Large NXT-GT2's from a store near me that decided to stock them even though they said the wouldnt. Only in L though but free return so no problem :p

The thing is that one thing that annoyed med with my old AT-SE was that felt a little big, a bit to much space betweeen the side of the binding and the boot, and sometimes on the slope it felt like the boot was sliding to one side... Got the same feeling here which is why I wanted to go with the medium size, and Im thinking of returning these and ordering a Medium.

Took couple of photos, hope you understand what I mean.

thats either flow's team or workers gear.

haha i saw that bc Im always looking at the set ups, bc im still undecided on which flows and i want to have some idea. I think the nxSEs would be too stiff on a soft deck, but as i can see theres a pair on a verve which is very soft

The GT and SE are very similar. The configuration and Flex of the top panel of the modback is the notable difference. The difference is subtle.

You will want size Large for your size 9 foot.

STOKED!

I wear a Size 13 boot. Had the the flow5. Had a hard time getting the hiback to lock close because of the boot size. I have also use the volkl fasttec which solved that problem but still was a little tough to get the boot in. Would the nx2 have more room?

Only reason I am looking for this type of binding is because I snowkite.
