Okay, so I gotta ask... and I'm sure some people will point me to an already-existing forum, because I'm sure this has been asked before (and that's okay).
Why choose non-release over release bindings?
I know that release bindings are safer, yet my overall impression from reading these forums is that most people have non-release.
So tell me:
-Is it that non-release is more fun?
-Is it that non-release bindings offer greater confidence when doing tricks?
-Is it that non-release is less expensive?
-Is it that non-release (not on risers) makes you more "one" with your boards?
I've always bought into the release system after reading that non-release was unsafe, but now I'm thinking that release bindings are "for the masses" on the hills who rent Snowblades and the ski resorts have to cover their asses since people will tend to do stupid things. Am I right?
I always assumed that for my second set of boards, I would use my existing risers/release bindings, but maybe someone can give me a good reason to consider a non-release!
The floor is open...
