Frosty -Thanks for the answer…These 3 hole discs you mentioned… do they come standard with bindings or will I have to purchase them separately? Will they make binding installation a hassle? Though I've only been riding for only a couple of years, I know that I dont like Burton bindings and boots, thus I'm leaning towards the Salomon Relay Series binding (and either the K2 T1, Northwave Decade SL2, or the Nitro Team TLS boot). So… I guess my biggest concern is the binding compatibility issue.Thanks again,- BenP.S: Oh, and too late on the board… my girlfriend went ahead and got me a Burton Custom X 158 (birthday gift… I love that girl… I swear, she can read my mind!)… cant return it cause I'm in Germany and she's in DC… board arrived here today.
