    Bindings with Custom 3D 2009

    Hey guys, new at this forum thing.  I just bought a Burton Custom 3D 2009 156 board on vacation.  I wasn't thinking about buying, so I didnt bring my boots, and I forgot my boot info. so the guy couldnt pair me with my board.  I would say that I'm an advanced shredder, I can hit most double blacks, and I'm only 14. I just started the park last year and pulled off a 360 grab on my last trip of the season. After spending the money on the board, I dont have much left over for the bindings.  I choose the 3D cause Burton was the only company switching and they are really only that good if you change your stance during the day. Overall, my main question was what binding I should get for a good price.

    Height- 5'7

    Weight- 120 lb.

    Board- Burton Custom 3D 2009 156

    Boot Size- 10.5 American

    Hope you guys can help me out on this one.

    And I hope you guys dont think I'm cocky, I wasnt saying that I was advanced in the park, just the shredding of the difficult runs.

    shoulda gone with ICS.  3D is the worst mounting system ever, besides the ones that sucked and didnt even stick around.

    Really? Its good to get different opinions, but I'm not all that good of a snowboarder. I mean im descent but i didnt think i was good enough for that to make a difference.

    if you dont care much about your stance, its fine.  but if you have preferences and like your certain width/angles/setback, 3D is terrible.

    missions are generally considered the most bang for the buck

    Vapor on brociety for 425, screw buying a house for another month.

    Er, I meant, missions are great after you replace the capstrap with the ones on the cartels(or better, I imagine but refuse to check, or find out the name).

    What's wrong with the capstrap again? Not the latest lightest hole-in-the-middle straps? After that your paragraph, is it can be called such, made even less sense.

    Re: Bindings with Custom 3D 2009

    I would buy the Custom ICS and buy the Cartel EST black with them --> The cartel has the same graphics on it.

    That's what I'm gonna buy this summer:P

    yeah....and you can even get a jacket - pants combo with the same graphics. GO!

    Re: Bindings with Custom 3D 2009

    yea the jacket is pretty sweet, but i wouldnt get the pants too. if everything is matching then it doesnt look as cool if every color you have on you contrasts with each other. 

    I was thinking about getting the missions but the shop only had the white missions so i didnt make a dession yet.  The other problem i had was the size of the bindings.  i norrowed it down to mission or custom, but with a 10.5 Morrow Kick Boa, should i be getting a large or  medium. Also keep in mind that im only 14 and im gonna grow some more and i dont want to buy new gear all the time.
