My roomate works for HO or Hyperlite and we've been demoing them all summer. 180s are sketch because you hit the wake one foot at a time, I see the potential for major jibbing and rail park riding but behind the boat is just asking for some serious knee injuries. They need to make a hard boot that supports further up your calf because right now the bindings seriously limit potential. Kids are doing switch backs in rail parks in Florida though check out waterski magazine. A new sport is coming for the flatlanders out east.<br />
I have used these, friends with abasinmobscene above...he is right, the bindings need ALOT of work. they are using waterski bindings right now but since they are designed to be rode like park skis they need a stiffer forward flex, water ski bindings have almost no stiffness forward, or any stiffness really. Jumping is really hard cause your legs are staggard, one foot hits first then the other. If anywone is planning on buying these Id suggest riding them first, or mounting bindings on them and getting some shitty boots...seriously, water ski bindings do not work.
