NOSNO advice

[qcvs2000]

Anyone landboarded on a NOSNO FREERIDE, I am looking at fitting the MBS F3 binding, any other suggestions.

 

Out for the first time today not much wind really frustrating, my dreams of carving up the local airfield were a bit unfounded more to landboarding than meets the eye.

 

Riding and old scrub on shock trucks till I adaapt my NO SNO.

 

Anyone used PRIMO STYKER 9'' tyres got used to the freeride 10'', cant imagine riding smaller over rough ground.

Yup,

 

Ride a freeride. Great for kiteboarding. I use the older MBS bindings - £55 rather than the £100 or so for the new ones. They were the only ones I found when I was looking in April. I guess you'll just have to bite the bullet if you can't find the old bindings in stock anywhere. Just don't try with snowboard bindings ...

 

10" tires are the biz for bumpy grassland (where I ride most of the time).

How do you have your truck real firm or wot, I know some of this is personal I am still struggling with getting my wieght over the board to go toeside. Cannot imagine trying to go toeside on my NOSNO without my boots and bindings.

 

DO you have to do alot of bouncing and hopping about to get going in the right direction.

 

Indescent are trying to rig a brake system for me at the moment not for kiting but for down hill excursions.

Ahh, you should have got a good old MBS, anywho, i sold my Multiflex' to some dire Nosno Kiteboarder and got some damn gorgeous Flow bindings, just leave the backs down while kiteboarding, and you'll also have some superb snowboard bindings for normal boarding with.

 

The problem is with the Flows, is that they retail for around £200. I searched long and hard for a good, cheap pair, and finally found some in america for $80 which looked brand new when i got them.

 

so, to conclude:

First: Try getting some MBS Multiflex bindings,

Second: Try making some MBS Multiflex bindings,

Third: Try buying some damn angelic Flo's

Forth: Dish out on F3s with plates, but try to find some second hand 1s first.

 

Happy hunting!

Found flow bindings for sale, do you take the back plate off or just lower it down. I think it would have to come off to stop heel side problems (back catching).

 

I have seen the FLOW FII binding is that similar to yours?

[Guest antisantanegger]

I just leave mine lowered, it is actually quite hard to take the back plate off, the wires get in the way.

 

I have the Flow FL-4, yes i think that 1 is similar. Infact they are all very similar, just the colours are different. I havent heard of that exact pair tho

Hi

 

I take it that you rate the FLOW above the F3 goign to get one or the other and I dont want to waste cash.

 

having the back of the binding down what are the pros and cons.

 

Any problems getting your feet out or going heel side?

I havent tried the F3, but i do know that the Flows do work. Once youve used Flows for downhilling, you wouldnt no what youve done without them.

 

Once youve got the feel of the Flows and youve adjusted the strap for your shoe/boot, coming out is absolutely no problem at all, but keeping it on during jumps is also no problem.

 

PROS:

the binding is shaped precisely to your foot, so you have a bit more control with it

 

You can remove your foot from the bindings nice and easily (just pull it out)

 

You COULD do one footers in the air prettywell, i would think (i havent attempted 1 yet!)

 

CONS:

It may scratch the deck slightly where the back plate touches the deck (no problem with nosnos though, just with the coloured MBS')

 

When learning to use the bindings, your heel may get stuck in the bottom of the back plate

 

going heelside should be fine, it is with me, (i ride MBS so it will be slightly different) the plate does not come near to the ground (i.e. when going heelside). it has never touched the ground with me.

 

I would get Flows if:

you can find a cheap price (under £90)

There are no reasonabley priced second hand F3s

If you want to have the best snowboarding bindings around, for downhilling

and possibly: if there are no cheap Multiflex bindings.

 

I hope this is helpful. Its up to you.

 

P.S. you can also sell your old snowboard bindings if you get the Flows

Thank you very much you know the score only so much money to go round and 100 for MBS F3 or 80 for flows advice from an owner/rider is paramount.

 

I owe you one ty
