I would reccomend not getting adjustable bindings. you really want support when riding and that type of binding just doesn't cut it. If it's a money issue then try varius websites to find older high wrap bindings, you can find some good deals on stuff that's a couple of years old. good luck |

You should only be wearing adjustables if the board is going to be shared by all of your friends or family. If not, follow Russian, and CRZY's advice... |

true.... if you cant decide, demo some different pairs first to find what you like, or if your certain you want the split bindings, go for it |

Spins are on the lower end of the spectrum. we all shared a Hyperlite Fluid 137 with split bindings. Its a great boot when used with many different boot sizes..... IM sure the more expsive boots might be better... but have a look at the spins... seems to me they look alot like the belmonts.... HMMMM and if you not sharing the boot.... Breaking in any wakeboardboot is like breaking in Hockey skates... It will mold to your foot.... nice and comfy.... |

I have the 2002 Hyperlite Splits on my board. For the money I'd say they are excellent. Sure the parks/belmonts/bylerlys are gonna be better. But the value in the Splits is great.
I've used some parks bindings before, and well if you can afford it.....go for it. They are very comfy.
If not, the Splits won't let you down. |

the waterski school had them on their location board and after a couple of weeks they were torn from about every angle possible... it felt loose and had zero support... plus that claw thing I hate... I hope it's better on high end bindings... and for a lace up system, they were so hard to loosen... that little plastic buckle used to get stuck when I got them tight as I like a binding... it made me enjoy my ultras a whole lot more... but yeah you have a point, they are affordable... |

well i've gathered up $600 and i wanna buy a parks 138 which is almost 400, and i was trying to find a binding for 200 so I wouldn't have to get anymore money, but i guess i still have a long time to go till the summer to get more. Should i just get more money and buy a parks or belmont, or just stick with the splits? i'm not gonna be sharing them with anybody, so i dunno. |

couple things... ebay is the best. I have got everything from there. belmonts trip and other crap. Ne ways. I love the 01 belmonts. Same thing as all of the other years, but they do not have the crappy claws(plastic baseplates). I got my belmonts for 115(this year) and my trip for 220(in spring 2002). You should be able to get a parks a lot cheaper. And just to let you know, i have herd some bad things about the parlks board. Have you done some research on it?

Tip: if you do get them, make sure you do up both the top ankle supports at all times- i just sprained my ankle majorly and am out for a few weeks now (sucks very bad!)
I've been riding a set of 2002 Splits pretty much since they come out in Australia. We have around 4 people that use the same board and bindings so we needed to go adjustable. Only problem is my brother and I both have really wide feet and even the X-Larges are tight on us. _________________ Dont' let go 'till you're six foot under !! |

wait untill summer and buy something more expensive with all the cash you'll get until then... or buy a pair of Nice... there's a wide range of model and they're good quality for the price... |

eBay, eBay, eBay.... Go on eBay and see what they have. You can always find a great set upnfro around a 1/3 of the cost at a shop or on line. Belmonts, Byerlys, Ultra's, cinchwrap's, you name it and you could find it on there. Especially a parks board, seems a lot of people bought it w/o demoing it and decided they hated it. I think the parks and belmont are the most common setups on eBay. Go there and check it out. _________________ "What do you mean you're done for the night...Insomnia doesn't even open until 4.
