Forum Republics on a older Burton Canyon-

I've been riding my Burton Canyon 168 for many years now. I believe it's a 2002 or so.  It's been the best board I've ever riden on (I'm 6"4, 225 lbs) and it seems to do anything on the mountain. I don't ride in the park, but I do try to hit every jump I can see. It's great to know that even still, this board is revered, and will still fetch a pretty penny on eBay!

I also concurrently owned a 161 Forum many years ago, and I also loved that board for freestyle, but it was getting to be too small for me, and I realized I really wasn't a "park" rider as much as I am an all-arounder.

Last year, I upgraded my crappy Lamar boots with some Nike Vapens. Sweet boots!

Anyhow, I've been using 2002 Burton Custom bindings all along on the Canyon. I thought it was time to get rid of these, and move towards a "stiffer" binding.

I was able to score some 2002 Forum The Republic Large at an insane price. I realize that these are classified as a "freestyle" binding, but it's Forum's stiffest binding, and I've been reading from a couple sources that it can easily be used as an all-around binding as well.

Good buy? Forum doesn't seem to really care much about tall riders, but I'm assuming that these bindings should fit my size 13 feet just fine, but I'm also curious to see if this will work well for me as a freeride binding.
