flows in the park - Snowboarding Forum

i need new bindings, and i posted earlier about what people recommend and rome 390s seemed big. i have burton freestyles right now and im not a fan ($60 bindings, i know). I have a backyard dry slope thing (again, posted about that previously). after 10 or so runs, bending down to strap my bindings on started to hurt my back. i thought flows might be easier, but i didnt know how well they work in the park. they seem like they would have to be a bit looser so you can fit your foot in. can anyone tell me how well they work, and if they would recommend them for a park-based rider? thanks a lot

Try bending at the knees and/or strengthening your back.

I have flows, love them. But i am not very experienced in the park and am picking up some K2 formula on BA's advice

flows arent bad, and you dont have to have them looser to get your boots in. they just need some time getting broken into your boot. I know guys that are in in two seconds and out in one with flows.
