Strapping-in at the top of the hill has its own learning curve. It was almost unbearable at first, but is slowly getting easier. Several techniques available: Sit down; stand up facing down-hill; stand up facing up-hill. Still a work-in-process for me. If an easier-to-use strap system comes along, I'll sure give it a try. The K-2 Cinch bindings are getting closer, but not quite there yet. Any ideas, Mr. Burton? I rode Flows for 4 years and just switched to strap bindings.
