Last season we had a very isolated issue with Heelcups. Those things are injected in Italy, shipped to Canada where they get Nano coated, then shipped to China for assembly. A huge pain in the butt. Basically what happened is during "step 1" of injection whoever was running the injection machine that morning didn't allow the tooling to heat up long enough. Keep in mind that we only make about 400 pairs of these. I think we estimated that 20-25 of them were faulty, which all ended up in the US. So that 25 or so pair all happened within about a 5 minute span. That's how precise things need to be.

The problem wasn't anything to do with design or material and it's not going to happen again.

Wait till you guys see what we have for next year. Oh man!

Johan is correct. The Force's highback is also very stiff.

hows it going OP. I also have the ride highlife UL board and am in the market for a super light binding to match with the Ultralight board. Was curious how you liked your highlife paired with the union MC's. Its one of the bindings that I'm considering on picking up along with the Union Chargers and Burtion Diodes. Cheers!

When I took the bindings out of the box I was shocked how light they actually are.

My only gripe with them was the Toe Ratchets but over time 6-7 days on them they were fine... The problem was trying to get OUT of them. It always felt stuck.

Do yourself a favor and grab em. My friend has the Diodes and they are sick as well... I Just wanted something different than Burton.

Did you buy the binding online or did you go to a local board shop in socal that actually carries the binding? From what your saying it seems that the metafuse has a softer flex suitable for park and jibs (which I do not do at all) but is still suitable for freeriding, kind of more towards an all mountain binding which closely resembles my burton cartels. The cartels are great and have lasted me forever but now that I've gotten a taste of the response from stiffer setups I've become a total control freak and am in the never ending search for a pair of stiff bindings that is worthy to power the STIFF highlife w00t!
