You keep the Chiefs for park but ride all-mountain on 390s? Brave man.  |

ha, that made me chuckle, I know Grill but.......its whatever works for you I guess
I love the lively feel of the 390's tearing down the mountain, tend to do quite abit of fast pistes and the Romes just go where you want them
Being more of a jumper than a jibber the Chiefs are just magical for soaking up those big landings and are super snug.....love em! |

Different strokes...
I hate freeriding and pow in soft binders. Drives me mad. |

| The EX certainly has come a long way in the last couple years, but I still have issues with Rides, namely popping bolts and screws and torquing the chassis. If your not too heavy and don't ride 100 days a years I'm sure they'll be fine, but for my money I'd step up a bit for Formulas. |

They look a good value binding if your wanting to mix park, freeride and jibbing. I know a couple of my friends love the ride bindings and they mainly do park and jibbing.
Also for the guy who wanted recommendations on binders, like everyone says its personel preference.
Originally my first pair of bindings were the burton co2 07, and found them a little heavy and stiff so i tryed the k2 autos and rome 390s.
I did like the k2 autos and 390's but i was never fully confident on landings or when i was tearing the mountain up. Alot of people said they liked the k2 autos but the wire in the toe strap would break, that didnt happen to me so cant vouch for that. the 390's were a good bindng but didnt get the same feeling as i do for the co2's 08.
Im not a huge fan of burton trying to control the market but i do think in the co2's and cartel binding department there pretty much faultless |

Only the 07/08 Autos had the tensor cable issue which was addressed.
I've always felt secure in Autos when "tearing the mountain up". |
