 Posted: Aug 02, 2005 6:59 am Post subject: Looking for the SMALLEST bindings made |
 |
|
| I'm looking for a little help from anyone who knows. My 3 year old is ready to ride (I think) so I'm about to get his board ready to go and I'm trying to find the smallest bindings available. I've found the LF Micro Omni and they look like they'll work. If anyone has any other suggestions or has some experience with these, please let me know, thanks. |

I think that's about as small as it gets.

I have a pair much smaller than those...but their on a cool finger wakeboard I picked up about 5 years ago, they're broken though, my fingers ripped through the front of the bindings on a TS FR attempt

| you may want to try and find an old pair of bindings and cut the overlays down. it wouldnt be that hard to do and youd have a custom fit. the only hting that would be hard to find is a foot bed for a 3 year old. |

Well....3 and a half technically. He's been learning to swim for about two years and he's been on the trampoline for about a year and a half (see my avatar). He's got geat balance the skateboard, http://photos.wakeboarder.com/showphoto.php?photo=10114&ppuser=6415, and he wants to ride. I'll have some video up by the end of summer.

Well, I've found a pair of Micros online for $60 and the ones we tried on yesterday seemed to fit well enough. Not like he's gonna be going huge and need to have all the support that we look for in a binding. Plus he has big fat "square" feet, lol. Just need enough to keep his feet on the board so he can stand. |

I recently bought my 3yr old a setup and it has the Micro bindings on it. Seem to work pretty well. I wish they were Ultras as I am a fan of the simplicity of the Ultras, even more so for kids, but the Micro's seem to be OK. He knows how to operate them already. He hasn't ridden yet, but he has gotten up and immediately fell a few times.

AWESOME....what board is that? How big?
I've got an older Obrien 137 that a friend and I are going to trim down with the band saw and then reshape/fiberglass the edges, tip and tail. My friend, Lyle, makes his own boards so...thankfully, he knows what he's doing. |

Thanks...
That is a LF Nemesis 118.
Beleive it or not, he is both (or neither) reg and goofy. He can balance a non-moving skateboard on either truck, do varials either way, and doesn't seem to have a preference which way we try wakeboarding. Sometimes I'll even drag him around the house on the board or wakeskate, and he does great either way.
