Kyle Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 The local ski shop was having a good discount for board and binding package, so i decided i would try out the contrabands with my new banana (I actually mounted them to my Ride DH), the discount was $40 off, i figured if i didn't like them, I could sell them used on ebay for $170 no problem, so i figured i would give it a shot. So after about an hour of setting them up to my boots I thought I got them just right, (a very shitty hour) Took em' up to test them out, ok, the stupid thong shit with the ankle strap keeps moving the strap back over the baseplate making it very difficult to get your boot in the binding standing up, so you either have to sit down to strap in, or move your foot on the tail side of the binding, hold the strap and try to get your foot in. Now I had a good feeling about these being shit, and well, they are. It did hold my boot securely, but it was a little too tight on my boot, I have ride delta's with the convertible toe strap, I prefer it over the boot opposed to a toe cap which it could be (I love the delta's and have 2 pairs) So i'm currently looking for a box to ship them in and they will be listed on ebay soon, probably along with the banana! I'm doing so well this year aren't I? i had the same problem with my RX"s but it went away after breaking them in Quote
Dan- Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 It's fucking stupid I hate Burton bindings and would much prefer ride's or really any other brand. EST are overpriced and I don't want an all Burton setup. The board I got should have been offered in both bolts and ICS but sadly, it's not. I think I am going to cop some Forum Republics and put the conversion plate that came with the board. So your going back to burton's then because guess who owns forum? If you look at forums stuff then at burtons, it's almost the same, because burton owns them.. Good job there champ. Quote
TylerDurden Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Yeah Forum's bindings have differnent aspects that I like, rather than Burtons. Burton may own Forum but it's products are not the same. Simmer down. Quote
Dan- Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Take a look, there also not as different as you'd think. Quote
TylerDurden Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 No, they are. The Forum Republics, the ones that I want are more low profile than Burtons, which utilizes large bulky amounts of plastic. The Forums appear to be metal but not positive on that. There are very big differences, that only a trained eye (like mine) can see. Quote

Glenn Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Ride Contrabands are for hippies who can't stop wearing there sandals even when they get on the mountain. Quote
TylerDurden Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah I guess, and the board I have is an 11' so even if I told you the name you wouldn't know what it was. Quote
Santa Clauss Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 i'm gonna be listing them on ebay soon, probably around $125 and there barely used... Quote
TylerDurden Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Too bad Burton ICS is the dumbest thing ever created, or else I would probably buy them from you. Quote
