Hi, I am new to skiboarding and I was wandering if someone could tell me the pros and cons of both releasable bindings and non-releasble bindings. I would also like to know which type of binding is most commonly used in skibording.

Non-releasables are the most common, but are less safe than releasables because they WILL NOT pop off when you wreck and roll. You are more likely to hurt your legs somehow with these. The releasable bindings will pop off in case of an accident while the nons won't. With non releasable, you get a lot more bang for your buck, in my opinion. They are will provide more flex (i think) than releasables, depending on what you get (namely bomber elite). Hope that helps.

"Go with non releasables unless you have some kind of knee or ankle problems..."
On the other hand that may be a quick way to develop knee and ankle problems -- by breaking them. Or maybe not, I am timid when it comes to my appendages. I do wonder about the complaints that a releaseable binding flew off during some landing or trick. Might that have been your foot if the bindings couldn' relaese?

They are very similar to hardshell snowboard bindings. The main difference is how wide there are on the base, because you don't want the bindings as wide on skiboards as you do on snowboards. Most of the good skiboard bindings were made by companies that also make these hard shell snowboard bindings.I do it because I can.
I can because I want to.
I want to because you said I couldn't.
