What time of binding system were you using when you were injured.

Two sprained ankles at the same time, got yanked out of double high wrap O'Brien Advantage bindings going through the entrance gate. I was back on the water in two weeks. That was a long time ago..

I heard that HO is not doing the EXO's anymore. Wondering if they are continuing with that style and maybe coming out with an improved version

Does anyone know?

Checked the website. They still list the Exo From.

Thanks

Question...what difference does the small increase in weight of the binding make in the performance of the ski? Would a 5lb drop in your body weight have the same affect as lighter bindings?

[OKSkier]

That is an awesome question

@mmosley899 I think a 5lb drop in body weight would have a much greater impact on a skier than the binding weight. Skier agility can by far make up for equipment.

[The_MS]

I agree with @MattP

After 2 of the last 3 seasons roasting ankles (probably cuz I ski shorter and thus graze more balls), I'm open to new binding options but need to keep the toe loop as part of it.

[mrpreuss]

All weight matters.

The ski and bindings travel a longer path than the body, so 5 more pounds on the ski will have a greater impact on performance than additional body weight.

@OB Where you on the "other" release mechanism during your sets with Brian and Ken?

[jefflyman]

Is it just me that seems HO'S new binding is a copy of the Radar Strada and Vectors? Even the lousy lace locks are the same! If true I guess its a compliment to Radar for building a great product. I love my Vectors...... with Wake board style lace locks though. Never a bad injury skiing but should stay off the volleyball court..... two blown Patella's in one spike bindings by Nike!

lis-franc fracture on my right front foot from trick skiing caught an edge on a flip now if i go out the front hard i feel it double stradas and i tighten them i hate loose bindings i like the control from me feet

When I broke my right(rff) ankle, both feet were in. Front heel lifted 1-2 inches and the rubber locked on to my heel, not releasing. The sideways shearing impact blew the end of my tibia off, tore Achilles and lateral tendon. I'm pretty sure if I had Vaseline in the heels, both would have just released. I agree with jipster, safety trumps everything now. 2 years was bs!
