liquid force period sucks... I have been through tons of equipment and pairs of bindings and every time LF seems to fall apart faster than most. EVERYONE that is interested in wakeboarding should go to the Wakeboarding Masters on memorial day weekend. its in callaway gardens. I have been every year for 4 now and its a blast just to get out there on the weekend and watch all the PRO's kick ass btw take all your boards get them signed and everything by all of them they walk around and talk to ya...
