6 days after ordering and my new 2005 Absolute Platinum and 2004 Zeus bindings arrived. I was sure that the XL would not fit my foot but adjusting the heel lock strap made all the differnece. Spent 15 mins in a tub and now my bindings have liquor bottles shoved in to stretch them out. I want to go bording soo bad.

Hmm, I'd be a little weary about putting easily broken glass objects into my bindings, but that's just me. Where did you order from?

What kind of cheap liquor do you drink? My liquor bottles are usually pretty thick, so far as glass bottles go.

Yeah, but liquor bottles aren't meant to be squeezed into bindings. And also, the place on the bottle where the most pressure is exerted from the binding is the probably the weakest part of the bottle.

Anyway, I would have used something else besides a glass bottle for that; just my opinion.

Dude if the binding is going to break a glass bottle, i don't think it would feel good on your feet haha.

Concrete Bindings don't need to be wore in the hot tub and NO need to leave bottles,cans or large cylyndrcial objests in them. Out of the box they are comfy and no pressure points the best is they are designed to not need any lube just wet the bindings and your feet.

Well seeing that I am the National Sales Manager yeah !!!!!!!!! and that I need a pay check, but seriously I would be pimping them even if there wasnt a paycheck.
Binding are simple and effective thats the easiest way to describe them.

Hmm....something tells me rubber and foam bindings aren't going to break a liquor bottle.... I bartend - all the bottles have a little sticker on them (in Texas it's the TABC - they regulate the sale of alcohol, etc..). When the bottle runs out, we have to "scratch" them which pretty much entails me taking my bar key (a blunt, 6" long bottle opener) and pounding away....

In 3 years, I've yet to break one

And, back on topic.... I think UPS tried to deliver my new Team yesterday, but I didn't get home until after the apt. office had closed...... Evil or Very Mad
