The Official Union Bindings Thread

Originally posted by Alkasquawlik Atlas' Team is only going to be for team riders and friends, it's basically the new Force Team. I'm assuming they'll throw some up on c3-shop towards the end of the season though, considering that's been their MO in the past.

I want to be a friend!

me either!  hi 5!

I would love a pair of those myself.  They're so sexy looking.  Super clean kinda like the Holdens, but with a little color.  I at least wanna end up with some of those highbacks.

as far as i know, you can mix every union binding part from day one to now, except for force/contact accelerators because they fit and screw into the baseplates differently.

I have 2011 contacts.does anyone else have problems with the bucklels in the couple of weeks

Always loved the classic look of the Team Binding from Union....they just cost an arm & a leg... Still contemplating getting my sona pair of the DLX's....they are cheap but I am unsure of the quality and ride

My next pair of bindings will definitely be a pair of unions.

Hey spens have you gotten that chance to ride some of the 2012's(with your special authority swag) to see if the toe straps are as good...they seem kinda like a downgrade

2nd thought CONTACT PROS MAY BE THE RADDEST BINDER EVA

Originally posted by spenser can't wait for the new teams, they are rad.  i think i'm gonna put 'em on a bsod.

"Your ideas are intriguing to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter"

I might swap the bsod with a charlie slasher though.  Depends on if I get a different pow board.

union always makin the best looking bindings!

I wear size 10 Burton Moto's.

largely it's the materials which is really what sets the MC apart from every other union binding, but... different base, different straps, different highback.  mc is stage 2 base like the force but super cored AND carbon injected instead of fiberglass.  stiffer and lighter.  highback is carbon fiber and it's the asym SL shaped highback.  straps are different too in the past but i think now both those bindings have the newer wider shape.  hardware is CNC machined from solid aluminum.  strong and lighter than regular hardware.  heelcup is plastic but has a metafuse nanotech coating that makes it stronger than hardened steel and also lighter.  toe ramp is full carbon which is stiffer so you get 100% energy transfer like when your boot applies pressure for a toeside turn.

^^thanks spenser. so forces vs cartel now. l have an orange board so l was thinking of getting the orange forces BUT l'm from canada and when l go to states to pick up my gear, l'm afaird if it isn't compatible due to the disk l'll be out a great day of boarding.

that's them, yep.  they don't come with bindings, it's a separate thing you need to get.

^^can't you also get burton to send you their retro disk to you also? dunno if it would work though 

what about winn's suggestion?

^
1-because l like the burton board, the one l bought specifically
2- l'm out of country so shipping to holding company= 10$ package + shipping from the seller
3-nobody is mad but you

Yeah, I get super pissed off because all of my bindings mount to my boards with no issues or adapter discs.
