Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

Hi,

I use this biding for 3-4 trips for typical relaxing ride and also for jumps. It's great giving a good response to your movements. Thay are very easy to adjust.

unfortunatly thay are not to easy to get out of plus i cant specyfy what exacly but there is something strange in the straps

All in all I would recomend them to any beginner or intermideate person

Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

I bought these bindings with my first snowboard. Like a noob (given, the guy at the shop didn't warn me) I bought these with a Burton traditional 3 hold board. WARNING: Burton and Ride do not interface well. Besides this little fact, I couldn't really complain about these bad boys.

Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

I have had these bindings for 2 seasons now and I love them. They are super comfortable and secure your foot well. They offer the right amount of flex for park riding but they are not too loose that you feel as if you are not in control.

I have heard of people complaining of the difficulty to rlease the straps. I too had this problem. If you tighten the strap about 1/2 click as you are pulling the release tab the straps come loose instantly. I believe the problem people are facing is the release mechanism is being pushed into one of the locking tabs. By tightening the strap, you create distance between the release mechanism and the locking tab allowing the release mechanism to move freely. I hope this helps to solve any issues others may be facing.

Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

Great binding.

The toe strap keeps my foot against the backplate and in place for great riding and response that has enough flex for some forgiveness.

The webbing on my toe strap has started breaking away after a month of hard use. I'm headed back to the shop to see if RIDE can help me with a replacement.

Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

The only problem I have is with the straps. They are hard to unstrap and it feels like there is a lot of resistance. I am sure this problem is not common though and still I STRONGLY suggest them for a park and/or all mountain freestyle rider.

      Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

      Bindings are Flashy and Clean looking.
      I have them set up on a 148 Forum Destroyer.
      Solid binding that is quick to do up and undo.
      Light.
      You get what you pay for however and I wouldn't necessarily recommend going BIG on these things.
      They are an intermediate level binding that I find most suitable for trying out new tricks on jibs and average or small jumps in the park.
      I've only taken them out 5 times and I probably haven't pushed them to their limits or maximized their efficiency.
      That being said i haven't had any technical issues with them whatsoever.
      They're the chill binding for the intermediate/advanced rider taking it easy with buddies on a sunny park day.

      Heel-cap screws are too short to hold it

            Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

            The heel cap screws are 1/4" too short and they just barely touch one side of the nuts. This is why many people said the bolts loosen easily. It's Made in China for you mate. They should be made in Austria like the good old time.

            RIde made in China used recycle rubber

                  Comments about Ride Snowboards EX:

                  RIde is manufactured their bindings in China which I find it dangerous for us riders, China has reputation of using cheaper material or recycle rubber to compensate for their cheaper products. The plastic ankle and toe straps kept broken is not the same as the cheap easy to break zipper on the jacket. This is life and dead situation.
