Glenn Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 Just read the popular science for Nov. They have an article about a new binidng Nordica is putting out called the x balance system. You can read the article here: http://www.popsci.com/popsci/whatsnew/arti...,725722,00.html Anyways, just wondering the thoughts of the skiers. To me, if I lean forward, its for a reason, and if I can't move my weight around that is a problem, but maybe on ski's its different. Quote

Then again, maybe I'm not that intune with ski binding prices. Is that a standard rate? Quote
Ski Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 Interesting link and always good to read something new...but does one spend a thousand dollars and give up a solid platform just so the squirrel lives? I say @#$% the squirrel and ski on... Quote
Ski Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 A cheap binding is about $100...a great binding is $350. Quote
Glenn Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Posted November 28, 2004 A cheap binding is about $100...a great binding is $350. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats releiving (sp?) to hear. Also I would agree with the %*# the squirrel plan Quote
insomniac Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 That sounds like just another thing to go with their over priced beast setup, so all those people that thing the more expensive the equipment, the better it is, and the better it will make you. Besides the face I love my boots, I hate nordica. And on another note, That would suck for park too. I think mostly everyone would hate that unless they skied that from day one. And skiing with those would kill the experience. Quote
skidude Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 I would buy that...right after I got out and blow 1100 on the new electronic atomic bindings <sarcasim> Quote
