hi, this is to any landboarders or really any who knows, could you tell me what are the best bindings to use when flying i use the standed velcrow ones at the moment but my feet keep comming out on big air jumps is it just a case of practice or do i need to invest in some proper ones like the snow board type ones forgive me i dont know what they are called
Happy flying thanks:puzzled:

You should be able to keep your feet in with velcro bindings...
I use MBS f2s which are velcro, i don't like being locked into the board but i never really come out of it in the air anymore. I think you'll probably get used to keeping your feet in... is it that the board actually falls off your feet or do you bail out?

Bailing out most commonly occurs :)

As to the make and model of the binding, I'll leave that up to you and what fits best on your board but I think you'll want to be looking at rachet style bindings so you can crank them down if you want.

and as Domdino says, a lot of times you just need to press your feet out and the board will stay on. I can jump with mine and still kick out if I have too.

I was just curious if you had a MBS. I had F3s on my last board and they would ratchet themselves down a few clicks when the board landed binding side down after a fall.

The F2s (velcro) seem good – however, I haven’t got much time on them with all the snow here.
