Was wondering if anyone has had a chance to ride these and what your opinions are? Thinking about getting them

i disagree. i'm not a huge fan of technine. i'm riding my cartels tomorrow so i'll let you know. i've liked them so far with the features and adjustibility though. and they look cool lol.

i rode mine and loved them...the strap is very cush...the only thing they could improve is the high back rotation...it seems to put some wierd torque on the high back or something..

I just got a pair, but havn't ridden them yet. They are super comfy though. Technines are crap, my roomate has a pair of the MFMs from last year with the toe cup and they've broken twice. Definitely not better than the Cartels.

I have them. Comfy and Responsive ... no pressure points....no complaints at all.

HyPe4eVeR, once I ride them (hopefully Thanksgiving weekend) I'll let you know. They feel great on and the toe strap gives a very secure fit! Not to mention how really, really ridiculously good looking they are.

i rode them. they're quite responsive and i have absolutely no complaints about comfort. they're awesome. but like it was said above, it puts a weird twist to your highback when you rotate it. on mine it makes the little clip that keeps the highback up not work quite right. like it is too loose to clip onto it.

thats exactly what it does to mine as well, kind of annoying...is there a trick i dont know?

. I never thought it would make that big of a difference. They are really responsive and easy to get into. I know what you all are talking about with the highback, but I don't have that problem? My only complaint comes from the fact that my previous bindings were Flow's. They were super quick in & out, but now I'm gonna have to get used to strap ins. It's worth it in my opinion though.

i'm riding them w/ a forum board though, so i have to use the 4- hole base plates. it bothers me that the 3 hole base plates have the padding stuff on them, but the 4 hole doesn't. it's just not fair. i mean i doubt it makes much difference , if any.... but it looks way not as cool w/ out the padding.

P1's are the sh t. Everyone should get those.

CHiLi DaWg, thanks dude. The stitching isn't all that great.... and it looks kind of weird w/ such a skinny stance b/c it was from a couple years ago, but I still like it.
