  #1  Which bindings to pair with the new Atomic Hatchet?  Posted 16/08/2010 @ 21:04
Going to treat myself to the new Atomic Hatchet which I just found on sale today. My first pair of bindings (Flows ) fell to pieces after half a day so I was thinking about a pair of Union's as I hear they are nigh on indestructable.

Anyhoo, would this be a good pairing? Looking for something not too stiff but don't really have a clue when it comes to bindings...as shown by my purchase of a pair of Flows. 6ft tall, 15 stone, size 11 feet, stick almost exclusively to the freeride just now but looking to have a go in the park this winter.

Any other bindings I should be looking at? Burton's, Ride's etc. Looking to spend under £200.

Also I've spotted the new Hatchet for £260. Do you reckon this is a decent price or will it come down in the run up to winter.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers

I'm guessing with the Hatchet your looking to be hitting jumps and stomping rails?

I've been looking at The Union Force bindings for myself as a more All Mountain binding and they seem to come highly recommended by anyone who's got them in their set-up. Mid-flex, comfortable, full on with the steeze and like you mention seem to last till the end of time.

Prices Yo-yo a little from looking at the net but your looking at about £170-£180 for the 2010-2011.

Hope this helps.
What I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasm and gratitude.
