K2 Cinch CTC

2 of my brothers apparently always wanted to try the K2 Cinch CTC binding but never purchased it before because the bindings have always been pretty pricey and still is.  The concept of the Cinch is suppose to be the best of both worlds and what that means is the Cinch is a hybrid of both the traditional strap bindings and the easy in and out back entry of the Flow bindings.  I think it is an excellent compromise but K2 failed at making it perfect because the ratchets are poorly made and very stiff to pull in and out.  If K2 wants to perfect the hybrid then they need to spend more time and money on a better ratchet system regardless of the amount of use of the actual ratchet itself because you won't be fiddling with the ratchet much but you still have to customized the ratchet to your set preference.  I was able to grab the Cinch on sale so now my oldest brother can pass his old Flow binding to my little brother because he was in need of a better fitting binding since his binding was a large and even though he wants a Cinch, he would gladly settle for a Flow.  Personally, I prefer traditional bindings but that's just me.

May Birthday

As I have already mentioned, May is just full of birthdays.  Yesterday was actually my brat of a little brother's birthday but we haven't celebrated anything because he's probably busy with his silly frat crap.  I got him the Sierra Stunt for his birthday.  For my older brother's birthday which is in 4 days, I got him the Flow Rift Coiler Two Zone boa boots because his old boots broke so he bought a new one but that ended up breaking too.  Hopefully he wouldn't need any new boots for awhile considering boa gives a lifetime warranty replacement.  Since I didn't get my oldest brother anything for his birthday in March, I got him the Rome Smith boa boots but too bad the only color they had left of that model was white. I do love boa and will never go back to lace although I never did lace to begin with except for my first time boarding.  I also bought a new pair of bindings for my new board which does match with my board.  Now to make one more purchase and I'm done shopping for this season.
