It can be odd how things work out. In this case I am happy with the results. You all know that I can't exchange my bindings with out a proof of purchase and as a result I bought another set. I have 2 boards why not 2 sets of bindings!

I went to the shop and I found out my boots (US10) are between binding sizes . . . I can squeeze into a medium (the black pair, the originals, are mediums) but it is right at the limit, so all the straps are maxed out and it is not 100% satisfying. I tried the large ones in the shop and they were not necessarily better, but different. I prefer the fit of the larger binding and it was a coincidence that the only colour they had left in that size was the cham-pag-ne. To the rest of the guys out their the closet we may understand is “beige”.

The black ones are still ridable and I will take both setups over to Mt Hood tomorrow. When I send them back in for warranty I will ebay the black ones and invest in a new board and bindings. The big sales start in March (well in the UK) and I want to retire the Parka and replace it with a Ride Theory with white Cartels (don’t worry mum, it is all boarding talk!)

The wind has died down over at hood and I expect to spend a full day in -10deg C conditions up at Meadows. I expect to post an entry when I get back from the hill, till then, enjoy your Sunday roasts!
