| It's not his website, people advertise websites in their sigs where you can get good products for cheap prices to help the other members of this site, and Richn I agree with you there, those bindings would be so heavy |

They're only plated with gold rather than being made of solid gold. You can pretty much guarantee that the layer of gold will be extremely thin to save on production costs, therefore the weight addition will be minimal.
All in all there's probably less than a fiver's worth of actual gold in a product like this... Plus they look hideous. |

I'd better get some and then organise my video part for next year! Well probably three video parts actually; what with all the extra runs I'll get in whilst everyone else is strapping into their bindings. |

They should really go all out. Maybe a diamond encrusted version? Maybe some heavy mr t style jewelry dangling off them?
Reminds me of someone i saw in courchevel with ferrari skis and wearing a thick heavy fur coat and hat. |
