| I have a k2 life like 158 and salomon rhythm bindings. I’m worried that the bindings are too flexy for the board :/ |

Peanut butter and strawberry jam is a ridiculous combination.
Snowboard and bindings often work well together. As for being too 'flexy' it all depends on the rider and the role. |

I think it would all depend on what your doing, if your gunning it down blacks and freeboarding off piste, you would need something with more stability, Ive got them on a Salomon grip, and they work just fine, stable enough when booting it and soft enough not to kill your feet or ankles,when fooling around
i think there is a bit of product bias by some people on here, get them dialed in to a comfortable stance and you will love them.... |

| Well the boards a do it all board and the bindings are 'soft' so there will be compromise somewhere, prob when you are charging piste. They will work though, it all depends on how you ride |

| Well i do charge fairly fast but i prefer to just mess around with a few tricks as well. My reckoning is when i do go to the park the bindings will be good with an all mountain/freestyle board. As far as boots go I am unsure what to get with this combo. |

| I ride a really stiff board with fairly floppy bindings. It works for me cos i don't like my feet feeling like they're welded into place, in fact quite the opposite. |

| Cool I was just wondering really because I just wanted to check whether the combo would not work well at all. I was thinking of some vans encore's or hi-standards, how would they hold up for a bit of fast carving, but a fair amount of park? Or what about Nike Vapens? Thanks. |

Have you used your Lifelike yet?
I was looking for a new fridge stick, I like the look of it spec wise but seen a few shaky reviews. I'm Looking for something light to throw around, and more freestyle than all mountain which i believe that this is leaning more towards. |

| No I haven't got to use it yet. I'd say its definitely a mid flex board, it is very light but I can't tell you much else. Could you maybe send me a link of the shaky review, I'm quite interested? Thanks. |

I've got the Rhythm bindings. I went pretty fast on them last week and they were fine, not great for high performance stuff I don't think. But you should be fine, they are great for playing about in the park etc, and the most durable bindings I've ever had.
