Binding Recommendations

I just snapped my Burton Custom Ltd bindings last night while trying 360s in the park and need a new pair by early next week. Looking to spend around $200-$300. My boot size 10.5-11 and I weigh around 200 depending on my beer intake. My riding style is mostly freeride, although lately I've been getting into 180s and 360s and going into the park a bit more. I really liked the toe-cap on the Customs, so I'd like to get something similar. Was thinking that I might upgrade to Cartels, but I'd like to see what others may recommend.

I tried searching but after looking through a few pages I think it would be easier if people just threw out their 2 cents. Thanks!

Hmmm... really? I got 'em shipped to my door from Axis for 236 bucks, and I grew up with the owner of that place... Hardly think he'd rip me off... I seen 'em in Canmore for 260 bucks... but in my opinion they're not worth 2 cents.

If you're not in Canada you got ripped off for sure. Cartels are selling for around $150 here in the states.

I have a set of 09' cartels and they are a nice set of all mountain bindings but, for the OP I would also recommend Rome targas. They are still enough for all mountain but has the adjustability and flexability to go inthe park when called for duty.

Vin: I'd have to do some shopping around before I'd commit to buying used bindings, although the price is good if they are in mint condition.

Thanks for the suggestion on the Targas I'll check them out at my shop as they seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. Keep'em coming if people have other ideas.

Oh they're mint alright... check out the link to the kijiji ad I posted earlier in this thread. Took me 3 days to find out that these weren't for me. The supermodel didn't fare quite as well, with a nice base gouge. I'm more or less stuck with that board, but the bindings might as well be new...

What's your boot

Here's the link to the Union sizing chart:

I'm not sure what boot size you wear but if it's anything from a 7-10 then Sierra snowboard has a pair of M/L that should fit you. If you use anything smaller then I think you'll have to use a youth binding. Plus I don't think Union makes the forces in Small/med they only make the Cadets in Sm/Med. If you want them Sierra snowboard has a few pairs for 54 bucks. Here's the link;

I would call Sierra snowboard or Union up just to make sure you're getting the right size binding for your boot.

Oh and here's the link for the Med/Lg Union forces for $100 from Sierra snowboard. Sierra is definitely a reputable site to get snow gear from.
