@@t-roy3717 As someone who is getting rid of their Skatetech, I definitely noticed a ton of response, but half the time not until after I'm already transferring weight. The bindings are completely numb and provide almost no feedback from what you're making the board do, and very little from the mountain. There's no strap positioning adjustments, and (for hangar 3.0), the toe straps connect almost in front of the footbed. Your boot has to be on the upper end of sizing for the binding to fit, and I didn't find the upper straps particularly comfortable. I just ordered some Katanas to replace my Mercuries.
Just an idea for future videos. I would love to also hear your opinion regarding the comparable gear in relation to the gear you are presenting. For example: Comparable bindings, Ride A-8 just a little bit more damp, Union Atlas just a little bit more stiff, Now Select Pro just a little bit less responsive.
Can get a decent deal on these, Rome Vice, Now Drive or Ride C8s for my K2 Passport. Currently riding some late 2010 Targas 👴🏻So am sure any of them would be improvement… but if you had to pick one?
Would you suggest the DOD's or the Katana's on a 2024 Capita Black Snowboard of Death? I ride mostly on the east coast where it gets icey late in the day, but also do trips out west in addiition to the alps for powder. I dont really ride in the park at all, just like to ride around the mountain medium to high speeds and carving. Been boarding for 10+ years. 5'10 170 Lbs.
@@AngrySnowboarder Is there another recommendation you would have that you think would be more suitable? There's so many options that I got lost in researching and wound up on those 2.
Bump up to the Cleaver from Rome instead it matches the board the best if you stick with Rome. If you go with something else I'd look at an Atlas Pro from Union, Ride C-10, or a Now Drive Pro.
I have a 10.5 k2 boot, managed to snag a 23 model DOD L/XL on a good deal. Would this be okay? I know 10.5 is right in the middle of their size chart where you could size up or down.
Would this be good binding for me? I have a brand new 22/23 Rome stale crewzer I have. 160w wearing a size 11 boot, I’m also wondering what size to get ? Thanks to anyone who has any knowledge
Completely different camber profiles. Party Mod is flat to rocker which is more loose and surfy, Shadowban is camrocker which is more precision and powerful.
I’m regretting giving in and listening to friends when they said cartel x are the holy grails. So much more out there. Yes people, your friends don’t know shit too.

I loved my dod’s before I graduated to the dampness and response of skate tech.
Do u actually notice difference with skate tech

Thanks for the video! How do they compare to the k2 bond? Is there a link to one of your k2 bond review?

We have reviews for all of those bindings coming out. Stay Tuned
Would these be a good match for the Ravine Select? Thanks for the review also.
Yes, definitely

DOD would be closest to the Targas but with some solid strap upgrades.
would these work with the jones mountain twin? or there better options?
Solid choice.

DOD if those are your only two options.

Just make sure you shrink the heel cup down to the minimum setting and you'll be fine.
How do they fair against small arms fire?
Probably better than Clew.
Just wish they came with no canting on the footbed. But overall it’s a solid binding.
You can get a 0 degree footbed off their website for like $30
I went the opposite direction and purchased the canted footbeds, as they are far less fatiguing - at least for me@@born2drum1

Definitely a solid choice and you want the lg/xl
@@AngrySnowboarder thank you so much!
I’m ordering now ! I found a 20% off sale🎉
Been watching your vids a lot, and learning a lot.. Have the Rome Party Mod and like it, how would you compare that to the Ride shadowban?
Completely different camber profiles. Party Mod is flat to rocker which is more loose and surfy, Shadowban is camrocker which is more precision and powerful.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks!! I guess its the 'surfy' feel of the Party Mod im really enjoying, ill stick with it for now
I’m regretting giving in and listening to friends when they said cartel x are the holy grails. So much more out there. Yes people, your friends don’t know shit too.
Cartels are not terrible. Good workhorse binding. Yes with today's tech there is SOOOO much more out there #benetekbirdboi # benetekbirdgang
Cartel X is holy grail lol you’re just not good
