[color=yellow]I'm a boarder whose been boarding for 2 years and needs to get some new bindings. My old ones were Flow MKS. I think Flow has stopped making these because I havent found any information on them after I bought them. I have a Burton Air 148 board and am looking to go more into freestyle boarding. I've limited my search into three bindings, but now I dont which to choose! the choices are:
1) Burton P1 Wingtips
2) Burton C02s
3) K2 Cinch CTX (or) CTS
I've heard tha the wingtips were good-- very comfy but less response. As for the Burton C02's I've heard that they have alot of response but break very easily. And Lastly, For the Two K2's Ive heard that they were bulky and heavy but I like them because of the quickness factor that ive had with the Flows and i heard they're responsive.
Help me! please![/color]

Maybe this won't help but I've heard good things about Head PX7 bindings. They're the top-of-the-range Head models and can be had at a good price - found some on www.filarinskis.co.uk for less than £70.
I'd say stick with Flows and get some of the crazy new orange ones.. but then again I love my Flows to bits!!!

Id say ignore everyones advise on whats best, and go into a TSA (if you live by a snow dome?) and test them, test every pair u can get hold of. it doesn't matter what people say about them, or the spec, they need to be comfy and hold ur boot right, then its all good. everyone told me the wingtips were amazing but i tested them and they just hurt my feet.
thats just my 2 cents, good luck.

I use Burton Missions and P1 Carbons, but wouldn't say they're the best for freestyle (well, the Missions maybe)), but I think a fair few people on here would recommend either Rome 390s or Technine bindings for freestyle riding over the Burton one's you've listed.
Ride apparently do some very good bindings too.
The Cinchs are probably a bit too heavy for freestyle, and not proven durable enough.
Your in NJ - is that like, New Jersey, USA? If so, falarinskis.co.uk wouldn't be too much use to you. Go somewhere local and have a chat with them. If you are in the UK, then there are loads of shops with sales of last years kit on at the moment, with this years new kit coming in virtually every day.
I think you need to get some feedback from the 'Humble' lads and Vermin Crew - they're the most freestyle orientated riders who use the forum...
