release bindings in parks

[ehallas0424]

iv'e been looking around for a while and have decided i want to upgeade. I want to buy release bindings to keep leg injurys down, since I play hockey and need to stay healthy. but im wondering if release bindings will be any good for parks since they may release at the wrong time. Any info will be great thanks

i ride heads with the release bindings and after you crank the DIN up they piratically never come off
an i have takin some hard falls in the park

[ehallas0424]

k thanks DIN i presume is the meter in the toe. sorry if i sound dumb, but im just a newb

[Kirk S]

yep you usually have to adjust with a screw driver mine has it on the heal and toe

thanks man one last thing im 5foot 1 100lb should i get the revel 8 90cm or the 98?once again thanks for the help

[Kirk S]

um if your gonna grow get the 98

if not you would be safe with either really
im 6 ft 155 and mine are 94's when i get new they will be the 98's but i could ride anything its really up to you

[Kirk S]

you can always consider Loken boards to they are 95.5's

I'd go with the 90's if I were you. They'll last you for a while, if not forever. Some people always prefer shorter boards no matter how tall they are just for the weight and maneuverability. They'll definitely serve you pretty well. I really don't think release bindings help to prevent injuries too much; you can really only get so twisted on skiboards.

go with the shorter boards, then releaseables are such a big deal, less torque on your legs during falls.... with the din up high enough for park...imho, its a waste of $$ to go with releaseables...
also what position do you play in hockey (i play too, center and wing))

[ehallas0424]
