hey all.. i'm going to follow the crowd and buy a pair of mix boards.. i have a couple of questions and concerns...
first.. i've been riding snowjam 75s and an old pair of canon heritage 90s.. i find that i am confident enough to use non release bindings.. but with the extra length of the BWPs and the ALPs, are they safe to use non release bindings?? i'd love to buy a pair of spruce risers.. but the cost is a little steep..
and how are the cores anyone??
sorry if these questions have been answered.. i got too lazy to go through all the old threads..

well you can't even buy non release bindings with the ALPs so i'm an idiot.. but my question still applies to the BWPs.. safe? not so safe?

you can "buy" whatever you want, you just can't get them as a package together, installed.

i ride non releasable bindings and i haven't broken my legs. i probably fall alot harder, and more often then most people
Yea, non-releasables on any skiboards tend to be really safe. I've taken and seen enough painful falls to have complete trust in them. They're a lot easier to deal with too, just pop right back up like you fell on skates.

I've been using my Bomber Elites on my ALP's with no problem. I feel more confident with non-releasable knowing the boards aren't going anywhere.

hey with the realeasable bindings, does one part stay on your boot and the other part on the board, and there is a leash attaching the 2 so the skiboard swings around like a mid-evil ball and chain, cause if so i would be scared of that shit.

no they are ski bindings so everything stays on the skiboard. if you use brakes then they stop on their own. if you use the leash option then they are tethered to your leg.
