Im looking at getting these, contacts or asadachi iii's. i ride mostly park and trees.(80% park) i hear the contacts and flites are pretty soft but are they too soft for the big kickers in the park? i like the 60 footers and want a solid binding that can handle them and rails. any suggestions?

Well put it like this... I take my Contacts to trees, steeps, park and pow. I hit booters in the 40-70ft range and I never wash out. If you want a lil stiffer ride but you canstill kill park with, then get the Forces. Me personally, I switch up from my Contacts to my Forces but only when we go to larger resorts. Contacts are my go-to binder and they have never let me down. But like I said if you want a lil stiffer ride, then the Forces are the way to go. But personally the Contacts have worked wonders for me on pretty much any feature. Mind you I ride a positive cambered deck(Rome Machine), so that helps a lot with washing out on bigger kickers. Hope this helps
