My wife's DVA bindings do. Nice bindings. I'm going to take a serious
look at Ride when my current bindings expire.

I technically have a pair of Ride Flight Tomcats and have demo'd Ride
SPI's, but both were too big for me (size wise). Otherwise they seem
very nice - aluminum baseplate and heelcup so much less prone to
breakage. Very light. Ironically, despite all the breaks I've had, I
still think I prefer the feel of non-metal bindings since the only non-
metal ones that have broken are Burton bindings (none of the other
brands I've ridden have broken). Maybe I'll check out some Rides in
the future. Actually, I might get a Spark Binding which is a converted
Ride Binding (new baseplate though).
