Thank you so much!! Yeah, I think I have to check them out and touch and feel in person:) The DVAs feel safe and similar to what I’m used to, but feels kinda borring buying the same. But bummer if I don’t like the Fame’s.. I have and like realy soft boots(forum glove(next years with tweaker), so I’d like some bindings that can stiffen up for my jump landings, but I still want them to be soft enough for tweaking and railing. Think I’ll head up to the office this week and check them out in person(I’m getting the next years samples(and then buy them again in right colorway maybe at fall again. I think).. haha.. Thank you! =)

Gro, Heya! I love both in different ways, it’s been a while since I’ve ridden the DVA’s but always a good aggressive binding and the fame’s are a good choice to have as well. I loved the sigma’s as well (had an older pair like yours) and the fame’s were more aggressive responsive than the sigma’s. I love the grip toe straps as well. Maybe check them out in person at a store when they come out and see what you think about them in person. It’s up to you how responsive you want to go so hard to say if you’d like the fame’s when you might be better off with a mid range binding.

Hi =) First, awsome review, as always, I can always count on you to find info!=)

Sooo, I’m woundering if you could please please try to help me?? =) Do you like these more than the DVAs? I’ve had to pair of Ride Sigma(078 and 09\10), and one pair Ride Bandita(10\11). I’ve loved all of these(all though felt I lost some control on the toe section with contraband). So know I’m thinking of trying a DVA or a Fame. But not sure wich one, so who do you like bether? So far I’m thinking:
+\- WITH DVA: I LOVE the ankel strap on sigma, dva and bandita(the whole in them. and like that theyre not so cushy). But I can take the ankel strap from my sigmas over to the fame. Minus: high-end\agressive enough?!
+\- WITH FAME: I LOVE the grip toe straps, and the Fame has a pluss with an upgraded version. The binding it self look intresting with all the high end stuff and chassie and adjustmenst. Minus: Are they too stif for me?! I’ve loved sigma and bandita. I love every aspect of snowboarding, rail\box, jump, jibb, pow, pipe, speed, street, surf. But I do mostly and more tech on rail\box\jibb. but looove to ride and can ride agressive all the others too! PS: I have smokin vixen(one camber board and one camber-rocker-camber) and have magnatracion(witch give alot of respond, sometimes maybe too much?! so therfor I’m unsure of taking on bindings that respond alot too?!

Sincerly
