K2 Yeah Yeah Snowboard Binding Review

yeah-yeah-purple
$169
Intermediate to Expert Freestyle to Jib
If you like the high back of the k2 Agogo LTD but don't care much for the quick strap tech they call "Auto" then you might like the Yeah Yeah.   The addition of Urethane really softens up the bindings high back and makes the ride much easier in the Jib park. Many bindings do a lot to reduce the dead spot that most bindings create under foot by removing as much of the base plate as possible but the Yeah Yeah's base plate doesn't have that much removed from it. It makes for more of an old school ride that isn't dynamic but isn't bad at all either. Still for the price the Yeah Yeah is a good freestyle binding that is reliable and predictable.

The Good Ride Take

The Good Ride Take on K2
K2 is a big company and is almost secretive when it comes to trying their gear before you buy it.  So many companies are really proud of their gear and try to do everything they can to get you to ride it.   K2 seems to do the bare minimum and despite its size has the least amount of gear to demo than almost any other company.  Their policy seems to be if you want to try our stuff you have to buy it.  K2 choose Flat Camber and rocker/camber snowboards and hasn’t chosen to work with any hybrid shapes.  Some people love or hate their flat camber but their flat/rocker shapes seem to be some of the best out there and are well liked.  When it comes to Bindings K2 spends a lot of time working on the quick release side of things instead of working on improved board flex and turn initiation like other companies have as of late.  Their boots are well made and pretty comfortable but many don’t have the traditional upper and lower BOA system that others do.  Instead they have an inner and outer lacing system which some like but to us it doesn’t make sense.  Their customer support is not on par with some of the best out there.  There is no customer service phone # on their site to call so you must contact them via email.
