I use Salomon Relay Thrusters and Ride Spi and have used them both on my Rome Anthem and Burton Fish.
The Spi are notably stiffer and more responsive and work much better with the Anthem. The Relay's didn't feel quite right on the Anthem but are lovely on the less stiff Fish.
Both great bindings though. |

Last season had burton cartels, got rid not impressed. Went for rome 390's this year really impressed. Lots of adjustment , really comfy and have coped well with everything so far.
Hope this helps. |

If money is not an issue, Catek Freeride 2 Pro Limited (www.catek.com).
Probably the most reponsive soft-boot binding ever produced.
But if you want to do fs360 or beyond in the kickers, maybe it's not for you. |

| I agree the Union Forces are very good and are certainly built to last. |

hey dudes, first of all thanks everyone for the advice and help been really helpful
after chatting to a few mates, reading the response on the forum and reading a few user reviews on the web I've shortlisted:
- burton cartel (change of heart from my earlier post lol my mate is proper banging on that this is the one to have!!)
- saloman relay xlt
- ride beta
next stage, does anyone know any good sites to buy from?? and out of the 3, which one do you think is the best choice??? |

| I've got a set of Burton P1s and think they're awesome. The ankle strap is soooo comfy and the new super capstraps work really well. Never had any probs with them apart from when I knicked a rock and took a chunk out of them. Can't really blame them for that though. I wanted a set of the carbons but couldn't get hold of them and was worried they might be a bit flexy but they are actually dead responsive. |

| I am basically the same as you in terms of ability, pretty decent edging towards advanced freeride and just starting to take my first steps into the park, at the moment I ride Union Forces and have to say that they absolutely rock, they are really responsive and most importantly are really durable and I think they will last me a good couple of seasons! I also puchased some Burton Triads this year to stick on my stairmaster, they are the biscuit ones and although they look the dogs bananas I have a feeling the unions will outlast them! |
