Just wondering if anyone out there is riding an '05 Parks 140 with XL '05 Parks bindings and, if so, do you have any problems with the bindings dragging on either toe or heel?

I bought size large bindings (I'm either a 10 or 10.5) but couldn't get into them - which is weird because the sizing chart states they are good up to size 11.... but anyway, I traded them for an XL but they look HUGE on the 140 board. I'm a little worried that I might drag heel or toe when edging.

I just don't want to up the size of the board to accomidate the bindings. I like the faster rotation of a shorter board.

My friend has the size L parks boots and think they are a little bit to big for me, and I have size 11 feet. I think you just need to ride them, break them in, and use soap the first few times you use them.... Also many of the hyperlite bindings have places where you and adjust the overlays to make them looser of tighter. I am not sure if the Parks have this because they have a the strings on them and stuff. But you should check that out too.

That may be the case. I didn't have nearly as much trouble getting into my old Byerlys and Splits for the first time but who knows...

Thanks for the reply.
