i got a pair of the new deadbolts last april, and they are sick. They are the most solid binding i have ridden. I only popped out once, when i was supposed to, and never pre released. They are super light weight compared to the old ones. i was on the 15 din because im not burly enough for the 18. if you are that burly, the 18 has titanium reinforced toe wings. these bindings are mad legit
