Alright maybe someone knows the answer to this. Has anyone noticed collective developments bindings look exactly like the old concrete mach 5's. I was just wondering if they are the same company but maybe they just had to change the name of the company because of legal issues or something? If you dont know what bindings I'm talking about check out the new alliance (p. 59 feb/ mar issue) or wakeboard mag.
Thanks

They do look very similar. I was wondering if they just had to change their name too. I'd love to try the bindings though. I emailed them about pricing, but that was like a week ago and they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Maestro,
They e-mailed me back pretty quick and the best pair they have are $380.00. They go down like $20.00 each time for the different models. Hope this helps!

I do know that concrete was sold like two years ago. I dont know if you guys watch any of the gb ads, but gator boards works with concrete now (through bold distribution). I am under the impression that concrete is now their binding division, but I could be wrong on that because in the last alliance gator was rocking a pair of solbounds.

I think that collective designs is being run by some of the same people that worked on concrete because of the similarities in technology and a little remark in alliance or wbm. either way,the bindings look pretty tight, but I am all about the solbounds right now.
