i just got a new pair of limited sphinx's, after riding the states then going to these its completely different, every time i w2w they feel almost like i dont have alot of control on my board. I just need some advice or whatever from other sphinx users. do you guys really tighten them or what?

wait are you saying you fall out of them more than you would with a less flex binding? i really need some feedback, cause im looking to trade them in for transits or watsons

You will definitely come out more often than with a stiffer binding like the transits... I started out with the Sphynx last year and liked them a lot, although i did find they loosened a little if i landed hard. 2 pairs of sphynx ripped on me so i ended up switching to the transits. I like the added support of the transits and the dual laces never slip on me. I really cant remember the last time I came out of them though.... hope that helps a little

I had 05 Sphynxs. I liked them when they were on. But as soon as I started to ride, I didn't feel completely locked in. And my landings were very shaky. I was just waiting for a knee to blow out. The had too much give in them for me. I like to be locked in firm.

I have the 06 sphinx, and they are super snug on my foot. They are not as snug on my upper ankle. I didn't think I was going to like this at first, but after demo-ing them, they felt great. Offers lots of flexibility for pokes and such.
