![]() Instead, it would be better to just learn how to put on traditional bindings standing up.įlow Five’s design has changed very little over the years until 2014. ![]() If you put these on by getting on your knees to slap up the high back then it’s not worth it. It’s only a few seconds faster than stopping to strap in standing up but some people find shaving off that extra time is worth it. If you have this down you can step in and flip the back up as you are one footing off the chair which is pretty quick. Overall The Flow Five didn’t blow me away but it was quicker than traditional straps and better than the old strap system. Shock Absorption: Just some plastic with a little EVA foam on top and it’s not the kind of binding that I like to ollie with. Ratchet System: Not much use for it but it’s decent. It’s something I’m getting more used to with demoing more Flow bindings but it’s still something I don’t prefer compared to traditional strap or bindings. I like them only a little bit past solid contact so I don’t get bumps/pain mid-season. I’m not one to crank down my straps either. ![]() It feels a little slow.īuttering: Not much flex underfoot and I didn’t feel like I had too much leverage to butter the board either.īoot Support: With that little bit of space I feel kind of loose and like I’m just floating inside compared to most traditional ankle straps. Turn Initiation: Kind of slow compared to most traditional bindings. It’s a little more difficult to line up for quick in and out but it feels better for sure. I like how the boot goes into a toe strap now instead of just peaking out into the air. By doing that I don’t have much contact but when I tightened it down to have more support I felt a little pressure across the roof of my foot but nothing like the older straps that covered the entire top of it.

I’m one of those who do and so are most of our riders.Įthics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews. Some live for this quick release but others feel you sacrifice support and turn initiation for that tech. The Flow The Five is one of Flow’s more mellow freestyle bindings.
