Hey er one. Well I've been ripping some Burton Customs and not really feelin' them anymore.

Can anyone suggest some good bindings, that are nice to rip in the park. But if I wanna rip some woods they will get er done too ?

I'm thinking some Technines would be dope, and heard they are pretty comfy and responsive. Let me know what you all think.

If you're not feeling the Big B any more, look at Rome 390s or Union Contacts.  I've never riden a set of T9s, but, based on reviews, I'd stay away.

Why do you always change peoples quotes around?  I love it when you do that, and I would enjoy seeing it more often from other members!

Union Force have yet to let me down.  I almost feel stupid for buying another pair, as my three-year old pair was still going on solid.  (They'll still find their place on my rock board, though.)  Union Contacts are even more park-oriented than the do-anything Force, but I can't personally vouch for them as I have yet to try them.

I'll never own another pair of Burton or Flow binding, nothing but a bunch of cheap plastic parts even on their high end models.

Look at the higher end K2 binders, you won't be disappointed.

I quote the Flow part for truth.  I had a paid of the NXT-AT I think that is what they were called and on top of the mountain the wire split off and had to ride down the mountain on the stomp pad and I had to go through a mogul field the way my mountain is set up by have a green closed.

i may be in the minority... but i've got no complaints with the burton triads pretty much 90% in the park... slightly softer and with what i think is slightly less forward lean in the 0 position than the burton cartels... the only negative is the higher price tag, but i got em at discount from a friend's shop, so i really got no complaints. i'm a fan of a unibody plastic construction, but i know some people like the plastic - metal heelcup combo better, so to each his own.
YEAH RIGHT!

For riding park and all around the softer flexing bindings are great, if your an old freerider you want something with some rigidity and strength that can also take a beating.

I also wanted something that had a quick on and off system without sacrificing the locked in feeling you get from the normal old school 2 lever design, the only solution I could find at the time were the K2 autoevers. Wanted the flow but after demoing them they just didn't feel right to me, could have been user error but the build quality was also questionable.

Anything with fake painted plastic chrome is automatically disqualified for me.

As much as I love you, that made 0 sense.
 
Ever wonder why burton uses the same baseplate from their 2nd lowent end binding to their top end binding. with like 3 pairs in between that are different? Makes you wonder how expensive those straps/skybacks are.

Try Union.  They last forever and seem to ride just about anything well.
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the
urge to throw a snowball. Just cause I rode you last night, does
not mean I have to ride with you today.
