my bud was looking at getting his own setup. I have been boarding for about 2 years now. I am a total noob but I am working hard on getting better. I started out with a HL State 140 package board with State bindings. I love that board and I really liked the bindings compared to the crappy Velcro sandal bindings I had used. I think I quickly out grew the state bindings though. They don't have much of a hold and felt really loose. I had an opportunity to use a pair of 2006 CWB fuse bindings and even though I was and still am a total noob I loved them. I loved how secure my feet were in them. I bought a pair for my set up and run them on my State 140 and I love the setup.
My question is when are people ready for good bindings? I read lots of reviews saying Faction/Fuse/Zeus/etc. bindings aren't good for beginners. I know that beginner bindings are designed to be loose so that you fall out of them in a hard fall to keep you from injuring yourself, but that doesn't make much sense to me.
If it is true that noobs shouldn't get pro bindings then what is the change that takes place when you are ready for them?
I only ask cause my bud is looking to get a set up and I am trying to save him the trouble and cash of buying something he will quickly out grow and want to upgrade quickly.
Thanks for any advice.
