What do you expect? its like expecting to be able to walk into a bar fight and start an intelligent conversation about the decore' in the bathroom. Welcome to the interweb sucka.

well i think its all good really , with winter coming everyone feks off and the traffic just abouts stops so i am always happy to read about it infact there are about 3-4 shops or crew that supply the market so it no biggie ( if it is Laurie willsort it)
so a couple of chill pills goes a long way guys try not to get bent out of shape we are all on the same side

Soooo what are they like?

My other chick is thinkin of switching to underground.what size woud fit her
ps. she is into image so it has to be a pretty one.

thanks steve for your feedback, i been looking forward to there release since december..
they look good but i really must see them in person to make my decision. 250 bucks is abit steep, the Lf comp bindings are the same $ and look like the pad migght be more comfy on them.
big decision

I've spoken with Adrian Roper about the price, he is having a look at it and think there will be a major price reduction on them soon, so take my initial price as wrong and don't buy any just yet.
We will refund the difference to any customer that has already purchased.

I had the 2008 132 FLX with Underground foot bed system and recently traded in for 2009 132 FLX with the new pads. After 3 sessions on the new gear I must admit that I love the new board but much prefer last years straps & pads. My feet felt more locked in with the 08's. Having said that, everyone’s feet are different and what may work for one person may not for another. You need to try for yourself and decide. I have fairly small feet (7.5 mens) with high arches. I, too, have had problems with the weak stitching and front straps loosening up while riding. The straps are very narrow and thin and the ends are not anchored all that securely. They have a tendency to flap around a bit, even more so if done up quite tight and there is excess hanging past the velcro.

You have to be VERY careful when pulling the top strap(s) across the Velcro when adjusting to avoid tearing the stitching on the one side. These do not slide through a metal fitting below so there is zero give when you pull on them. I had my foot placed on the board at the beach and was leaning over to adjust and tighten a little when… well you can see the result below.



You can pull on the strap that is positioned beneath the top one to tighten things up but then just gently flip the top strap over it and secure to velcro.
