riding burton P1's right now. i really dont know what they are made for, anyone know? there soft and comfy so i like them, there just heavy and not too responsive.
there just getting old and starting to fall apart.
im an all park rider,
any suggestions?
ride delta mvmnt?
burton cartel?
leaning towards deltas but looking for opinions.

oh, and the rome 390's.
whatcha think, out of those 3.
riding a burton dom, just so you know.

The P1 is a soft binding. I haven't had good luck with Burton bindings personally. Same goes for Ride but my friends love them. K2 owns Ride and a lot of people rave about the Formula's although I have not tried those. Out of the 3 you mention I would say the 390's. Also check out the K2 Formula's and Forum Republic's IMO.

yeah i know what you mean about burton. im starting to steer away from their stuff.

390s are great. Only gripe about them is they're a bit heavy, but they're so cushy and have a soft/mid flex and good adjustability.

ok basically ruled out cartels,
like what i hear about the k2's and the 390s.
anybody have an opinion on the ride deltas?

Some people love 'em and some people hate 'em but the Ride Contraband is probably as light as it gets. They would be a good park binding if your boot actually fits them. I tried some last year and I liked them but I didn't like that I had to wear my Ride boots with them and not the comfy Northwaves. Imagine that, the Ride boot fit the Contraband but the Northwave didn't!

go for the 390's. They are super comfortable and a great binding in general.

IMO.. Most-Least Responsive: (I don't know about the Delta's)

K2 Formula, Forum Republic, 390's
