Boots and Bindings help?
Hi, i am looking at buying a rome postermania or an artifact. I am going to be focusing on the park , so like 80/20 split between freestyle and all mountain. I am just wanting opinions on boots and bindings. I am intermediate, size nine boot. 140 lbs, 5'9.5", board is going to be a 150. and i just want some opinions on boots and bindings, if you guys don't mind..
I am looking at 32 lashed, rome libertines, or burton shaun white's for the boots.
As for bindings it is more simple, but a harder choice, Rome 390's or Union Force.
Thanks guys!
this will be jib specific, BUT i still want to hit some jumps without having my knee's wrecked
I would take the Union forces of the 390's ANY DAY. There lighter, practically indestructable, less complex yet better working. Still adjustable to make your stance wider or your toe/heal drag moveable or whatever you call it.
As for boots I hear lots of people asking questions regarding the libertines or the lashed boots. Both great boots, but I prefer riding 32's. I have demoed some rome libertines before and I just don't like the way they fit my foot. I also really notice how much lighter the 32's are. But you need to go try them on and just get whatever pair you feel are more comfortable.
