What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked these up for a young rider in my family who wanted to start hitting side hits right away, and the soft flex kept things forgiving while she figured out her landings. The mini disc kept the board's natural flex intact, so it never felt like she was riding something too stiff for her size."Some kids don't ease into snowboarding, they show up ready to link turns and hunt side hits on day one, and the Charger Mini Snowboard Bindings are built to keep pace with that kind of energy. A soft flex keeps things forgiving for developing riders, while the Asym Highback and ankle strap hold a small boot secure through hard landings and quick direction changes. The Universal Mini Disc keeps the binding's footprint small so it doesn't fight the board's natural flex, and Speed Wheel 3. 0 buckles make strapping in fast when there's a lift line to beat. It's real performance, just scaled down to match riders who are already negotiating for one more lap before lunch.
