Burton Clash 160 help...?

Question

That's the board I have, Now I need to find some bindings.
My buddy has some bindings that you simply snap your boot (specialy made with attatchments on the bottom) into a clip that's attatched to the board. No straps at all. You simply press a release to free your boot. I want these, but can't find them anywhere. He got the board and boots second, or third hand, and has no idea where it all came from.
Anyone ever heard/seem/have/know where I can buy?
Anything help?

Answer 1

A bunch of companies made step in bindings starting about 7 or 8 years ago. K2 and Shimano made the Clicker, Vans made boots for the Switch, Burton had the SI, Rossignol made the SIS and there were different systems like Flow and Flytrap where it was a normal strap in binding with a unique system that saved time.

Honestly if you aren't an expert rider who puts an enormous amount of strain on your bindings you really aren't going to notice any difference in control. People who tell you they suck are probably just re-hashing information they've heard 2nd or 3rd hand, very few who've tried them have had legitimate complaints. It may be difficult to find boots for the systems considering the technology has changed... E-Bay may be the best place to check for used bindings.

Answer 2

First of all...let me say that some people on here will tell you not to get a Burton because they hate the company. These people won't give you any facts about the boards. With that said, you really can't go wrong with a Clash or Bullet. They are pretty much the same board except that the Bullet is meant for people with bigger feet. Both boards are labeled All-Mountain, have a directional shape, Cruise Control Technology, Lightspeed Vision Bases, and Twin flex. Someone with your height and weight would probably want to go with the Bullet. I would definitely go with a board that is 160cm whether you choose a Clash or Bullet. You should go to Burton's website and compare the specs on both boards. Sierra Snowboards is having a sale on the Bullet and Clash right now. I hope this helps

Well if i were you i would avoid getting the snap in bindings all together. They are usually cheap and cut down your riding, turning, and park abilities. yeah they are easy to use but will not benefit you in the long run. if you want to try a different kind of binding that is also VERY easy to strap into i would advise you to buy FLOW bindings. Although those are a little pricey i believe taht would be the best bet for you, but if you dont want to spend that much money then i would say get sum lamar strap up bindings... cheap but durable.

good luck

Answer 4

you cannot buy those new anymore and you do not want step in bindings. they stopped making them for a very good reason. people would clip out while riding thus sending them tumbling with in what your case would be a 160 clash sledge hammer to beat the crap out of you as you roll. take a look at ride bindings, they put together a solid line of products.

Answer 5

These sort of bindings are hard to come by now and have fallen out of fashion a bit. Ive never ridden them myself so its hard to say how good or bad they are. But a while back they where really popular and now they arn't. Theres probably a good reason for this if i where you id just stick to the regular stap bindings.

Answer 6

clip on bindings suck.
i think. they are durable and convenient, but they provide little support and can pop out.
check out the new toe strap designs, just as convenient (instead of two straps there is only one, the other straps to the front of your toe.)
but check out Stepin Bindings for what you are talking about.
they probly sell them at REI.

Answer 7

clip on bindings are not good... usually the location stores have them because they are less expensive and not good quality so they rent the clip on bindings to people.
