Ok was at the mountain this weekend and here's what I did.I rented a regular width board there in a 160 length. I really wanted to try it with my own bindings but they won't let you put them on their rentals so I had to use the nitro's they had on there. They were horrible! I can't say if a regular board as opposed to a wide helped with my foot pain because my feet were on fire in pain the whole run. The strap bindings were horrible over the front of my foot. I couldn't board more than 100yrds without having to stop because of the pain.One thing I did notice though is that the board was REALLY responsive…to the point of being squirrelly and almost out of control. I don't know if thats just because I have ridden a wide for so long now or what. I did go back to my wide board and boots and bindings later. Still had the foot pai
I haven't tried those two models but I do have a pair of K2 Indys and K2 Formulas. Both are great bindings in my opinion. The ankle strap on both is nice and padded and feels secure without cranking them down and cutting off your circulation. The buckles are pure butter as well…I think thats pretty much the standard on the K2s though.The other thing on the K2s is the toe strap. It can be worn on over the top of the foot or as a capstrap. 1000times more comfortable than wearing it across the top of your foot (no pressure points).I have also ridden the 2010 Ride Spi and really liked them. The Spi and Formula both have canted footbeds.My niece is an instructor at Lookout over in WA state and has the contrabands and loves them. She does alot of mixed riding from the park to carving the mountain and has had nothing but good luck with them.
