They have very little support, they are super mobile and flexy. I don't really like rear-lace bindings, but the parks has my favorite rear-lace system out of all rear-lace bindings. The lower laces do a good job of tightening over your foot, and you can lock it down and just leave it once you get it tight, and never ave to tighten them again.

i loved my 06 parks. i dont know what to say if you dont like flexible bindings. the parks are easy to get into and hold your feet down really well but still let you poke everything out. are you close to a boardshop where you can try on bindings?

im gunna have a look round 2mo to see if anyone has these bindings in. i think i will get them and if i dont enjoy ridin them i will put them back on ebay. unless they go for stupid money. bit annoyin bonifays only lasted like 3 months or something ggrrrr

a bit of warning hype's 06 bindings were severely lacking in the durabilty department. if you want to try something on similar to the parks i would suggest the murray or cwb deuces. they are both pretty similar as far as flexibility goes.

cheers mate ive just been reading on wakeworld about numerous people ripping them so gunna leave them now as i break absolutely everything i get my hands on. gunna demo the cells at the wkend. read a lot of good reviews about them and i can buy them from a local shop, just means spending more than expected

cheers guys

I just bought the cells and they are the most comfortable bindings i have ever riden. They say that they are super stiff but i dont really think so. They are stiff backwards but they allow you lean forward. They are really comfy and super light. I also have some hyperlite highbacks for sale if you are interested. I think that those are really stiff.
