Burton Custom Snowboard Binding - 2008

out of box review...so i originaly got these to put on on eof my cheap toy boards, but i ended up puttin them on my nice board cuz they were so cool outta the box. Super solid and and sturdy as a rock, but still keeps the weight down, very light. having only used metal bindings before i was weary of a plastic baseplate, but the thing is heavy duty and feels indestructable. Adjustments are crazy for a lower end binding, Foreward lean, gas pedal, highback rotation, and of course the straps. coolest thing is that all adjustments are tool-less besides the highback rotation...and the straps and highback lean are adjustable on the fly...and as always, burton's boot to bindings integration is flawless, fits like a gloves only wishes it could fit. sweet stuff. ill write another after i go riding with them.
(p.s. Screw burtons size chart!...unless you got some huge clonkers, like 12+...then go for the meduim, i got a medium and my 11 ozones's fit perfect with room on the straps to spare)

All in All - Not bad for the money. Having only used my Ride RX's for years i was weary of using a whole new binding, especially ones this cheap from a Huge Juggernaught manufaturer...the medium flex is pretty forgiving, and doesnt twist ur feet when you dont land perfect. I like, but not love the straps, they are plenty comfortable, no pressure points! with my Burton Ozones. But beware, they do not crank down very tight, just tight enough...Response isn't awesome, but gets the job done, but sometimes i felt like i really had to try just to get my board from edge to egde, the best thing i think about them is the effective padding - Flew up yesterday, overshot, slammed on a flat so hard that my butt touched the ground, usuallly that would have killed my feet and shins, but i rode away fine, thank you Custom Bindings!...These are eh....good bindings, definitly not worth retail but at a good sale price, they are a good purchase

super sick bindings...just like everyone says, there light weight and respond well...however, my biggest problem with them is the toe cap ratchet...it does'nt go down as tight as i would like..and has a tendancey to slide off my toes after a big kicker or spill

I brought these as my first bindings thinking Burton was good respected brand, I read the reviews and focused on the positive thinking what happened to others would not apply to me, I was wrong. These binding are a just a waste of money, unless you ride greens all day or you're just a noob that doesn't know any better. The Ratchets SUCK, they get your boots semi tight but start to slip if you attempt any further tightness. The toe strap slips off the boot due to tightness issues as well and the overall quality is laughable, as one person has said, it looks and feels like a cheap toy. Back to the ratchets, if you slip too many times while tightening you will chew the teeth right off, and fast, expect a very limited lifetime if you are foolish enough to purchase. Ride LX /RX or Drake fifties are a superior bindings and highly recommended and competitively priced . Learn from my mistake, not your own!

I slapped these on my Solomom Sanchez 154 and started jibbing around the park. I liked how lightweight they were even for a poly binding. Threw in some forward lean and went down a black and they responded well. Haven't found any cracks yet. These are my back-ups to my EST's or a spare board for my brothers that come with me. Great review by Cyrus! Read that one for a lot more detail. Board safe homies!

For the Price and the Quality..Are you kidding me....The best bang for the buck... they lock your booties in tight...a lil slippage but that's natural
Rock Them

I recently purchased these Burton Customs and I'm pretty happy with them so far. I've only used them twice, so I haven't got to really wear them in much. A couple times I noticed that the right cap strap would come loose during the middle of a run but it never really affected my riding. It wasn't a reoccurring problem but I have read a few reviews about these bindings and them having cap strap security problems. I like the lightly padded straps though, you feel locked in and I haven't had any discomfort after riding down the hill or up the lifts. If you got the money definitely upgrade to Burton Cartels but these are a good investment for beginning riders and people looking to get a decent binding for a reasonable price. By the way this site is sick, make sure to check out Brociety.com to get crazy deals every 25 minutes.

these bindings are great. i got them in frosted green. they look awesome and they crank down nice. i love the cap strap.sick binding

I love these bindings! I'm an all-mountain rider and previous bindings I've had, had been uncomfortable...not these bindings, these were great, couldn't even feel them strapped to my feet and the response was great! I definitely recommend these bindings!

These bindings have taken me over powder like clouds. Down Black diamonds with little fuss and Down the groomers at break neck speeds...

i was riding flow bindings that quickly fell apart (because flow sucks) and ran over and picked these burton custom bindings. they are the best bindings i have ever had! great fit, superior control, flex and right on the price. i got the red ones and they look awesome on my black board. flow should change the name to blow. these burton custom bindings are awesome!

I bought this binding because of the good price and the great brand. I am finding that it was a great buy. It took a few runs to get the binding fully adjusted the way I like it, and there are plenty of adjustments that can be made. The Custom offers great support and offers many adjustment settings. I would recommend them, especially if you are on a budget like me!

Matte Blue customs look awesome and the Custom setup adds alot of cushion for those hard landings in the flats... Adjustment for a true Custom fit is easy and offers a great fit. Capstraps tend to slide off the toe but its an easy fix and some adjustment can put an end to that. Worth the price and great for progressing in the park.

i put these bindings on a new burton 151cm blunt nd they were amazing. they have alot of flex nd definitely keep your feet supported. they dont make your feet sore like what some bindings do. i love them. i would highly recommend them

Snaps dont hold that well... if you intend on riding hard I recommend something else.

great bindings worn mine a few times never had a problem with them a little bigger then other bindings but i dont mind it

Great bindings

they look so cool and they work really well

yo these are fresh. they look sick and are so responsive u can pop carves down all of it so easy. wow is what i got to say

Great bindings just got the 09's and they look sweet in black. They have lots of padding, just as much as the missions, and if you can get these on sale they are an amazing deal. No wonder so many pros use them!

Pretty good bindings for the price. The frosted green looks freakin sweet on my 09 burton twin. Only negative thing I have is sometimes they wont get as tight as I would like. The buckles tend to slip when I want them super tight. Other than that Im pleased with them.

These binders are right up there in the best for freestyle. The flex they give is great, and the strap, when adjusted properly, provides a great hold. For FREESTYLE these are amazing.
If you want response, go for something stiffer.

I love these. They are very comfortable and tight without cutting off my circulation. Good price too.

i love this binding they r the best!!! they respond really fast!! u can do really sharps turns without do too much effort and if u like to hit the park u should get them cuz the landing are soft n make u feel like a pro.....

These binding are nice for the price, It's uber true that the ratchets slip when tightening down, these things would be great if not for that. 3 stars, not bad on the cush and response, they're lightweight too, but crappy ratchets :-(

very good bindings i have had them for three years and still no rips and breaks in them there the best choice for easy and some hard riding

They are easy to use and put on your board.

I've had these for 2 years now and have probably put over 60 days on them. My straps are fraying a little bit but other then that they are great. For the price you can't go wrong and I've never really had and problems with response or anything like people have said. Actually I'm pretty sure Shaun White uses these and love him or hate him you got to admit he's a machine. I've hit some pretty big hits in the back country, slashed pow and hit some big jumps in the park and they were good. I will be buying another pair when these go.

these bindings are SICK!! worth the cash especially if its on sale. GREAT heel-toe transition...just one problem, the capstrap doesn’t always strap down as tightly as i would like, and also sometimes when your landing they can slip off the toe..
besides that GREAT. I for sure recommend it

like the title says... top straps come loose, so do toe straps.. at least on mine they do.

These are okay bindings but certainly not the best out there. The toe strap ratchet always skips when you are tightening it. Once you are finally strapped in they work fine though.

not very pricy but still deliver the goods. and they look sick in the color green!!!

It is mid September, so this is less of a review and more of a important thing to note. The provided sizing chart, and a review below both recommend the that the medium bindings can fit boots up to size 11. I wear 10.5 Burton Motos, and there is no way they fit. Wicked toe overhang, and the capstrap won't ratchet properly.

That said when I exchange for large, these seem like solid bindings.

ngs i hav ever rode. they always broke. i had replace the stapes and buckels 3 times in one season. not reliable at all. dont waste your money

I got these bindings at the end of last season in place of other technine bindings that i broke. As soon as i got them i was so stoked. I put them on my board that day an used em a bunch over the weekend. The r the best bindings i have ever used. They r awesome looking and the straps can defently hold down any weight weather ur hitting the huge jumps, grindin on the rails, and shreddin the powder. They are ultra durable through the worst weather and are super sensative giving u the smoothest and sharpest turns with eese. No matter who u r i would deffintly recomend these SICK bindings.

These bindings are sick. I got the white ones and put 'em on my black board. They look amazing. They are more of a white/clear color, but killer nonetheless...

I honestly don't think these are bad bindings and thats the only reason I gave it a 3. I really havent been able to truly test these on powder for all that matter a diamond slope. Going this weekend though and I'll update this.

I didnt even place these on my board as they have just bare plastic underneath. The rachet system is horrible. You cant tell from the picture but the red ones have downright ugly straps. In this price range the Ride LX are much nicer.

These bindings will start to break after ur first year of riding them. My straps have started to rip after the first month of riding. Spend your money on somthing better!!!!!

I've been riding rental gear up until I hooked up my own board with the custom bindings. They weren't anywhere near as responsive as I'd hoped, so I nearly broke my ass down the slopes. I've returned them for something stiffer (Cartel)

These binding straps will rip or break. I suggest you pay more for alot better quality than the customs

if ur looking to bust 270's on to a rail and 5's off 20-80 footers they suck

but if u arnt to good ur self then buy em

i had and they broke in a week and i didnt ride that hard
