alvin, i share your opinion. the stiff heelcup is blocking the board from its natural flex. so a flexy disk is not really an advantage in terms of enabling the board to flex with a mounted binding! i think there is – maybe – a little advantage but still not the real advantage as it publishes in ads, videos etc….i’d like to try them someday!

-Forum has not incorporated the standard unibody chassis like it's parent company, which is good.
-I wonder how much does the Shaka binding flex given that it does have an aluminum heel cup that surrounds the entire binding. Wouldn't that just give the heelcup a lot more torsional stress?
-Black heel and toe straps on a binding that's predominantly green yellow and red?

I know Drake and I think Rome are very similar to those.
