Rear entry bindings have no control. The few seconds you save will be wasted when you fight the board all the way down the mountain. Just my $.02

What other bindings are really good? I know everyone raves about the Cartels but I hear that there is a Rome binding that is comparable if not better because it is not as fragile?
Also what sites are good for buying new bindings? Total newb at online shopping for snowboarding gear over here

P.S. I've been rocking my bindings for 7 years and they're holding up. I'm sure the new technology will be lighter, but I can't justify buying new bindings until mine break.

LIB TECH presents the DOWNTOWN THROWDOWN brought to you by ZUMIEZ.
Lib Tech and Snowboy Productions are stoked to bring back the Downtown Throwdown to Seattle on October 8, as well as adding our new stop in San Francisco on October 29…it’s gonna be BANANAS!

“I’m humbled at how big this event has grown, and definitely excited about its future” says Snowboy Productions President Krush Kulesza. “With Seattle and our new SF stop, plus our AM qualifier series (The Feeders!) in Portland, Spokane and Sacramento, we’ve got the whole west coast covered from the Bay to the Border.” The invite list is STACKED with the likes of... Scott Stevens, Forest Bailey, Johnny Lazz, Ted Borland, Jake Kuzyk, Dylan Thompson, Austen Sweetin, Jess Kimura, Chris Larson and a lot more. Each stop will feature 25 of the most progressive jibbers on the scene today. We can't wait to see who will join past winners Dan Brisse, Jed Anderson (twice), Nick Visconti and Ryan Paul as the next Downtown Throwdown champ.
Lib Tech rider and Think Thank owner Jesse Burnter will hold down the emcee duties along with Preston Strout from High Cascade Snowboard Camp and Crab Grab fame. Dinosaurs Will Die’s Sean Genovese will head up the judgeMENTAL crew with the likes of Zac Marben, LNP and Chris Grenier to determine what riders will take home a share of the $20K in prize money.
In addition to the non-stop shred action, there will also be music, food vendors, live art, autograph signings, a raffle of prizes that benefit great local charities, as well as info and prizes from all our great sponsors.
