The Team Skyback delivers the power that it advertises and provides support to your lower legs(+4...my heel edge dug into that nasty New England halfpipe ice allowing me to throw method airs for the on looking plaid-flannel wearing gapers)
The Skyback was tainted by poor design, the padding they use on the Skyback is already peeling after two afternoon riding sessions(-2...couldnt believe my eyes)
This is one of those products that will be better to buy after a couple years, allowing Burton to fix the 'minor' flaws in their design(+2 for idea, maybe use the money they made from this round and hire a new innovative design team, provide them with some Starbucks, and research a new foamy material that doesnt rip or peel so easy. I miss my scruffy CFX backings.)
They should also include the hardware necessary to install them on your bindings (-2 for being cheap but +1 for a helpful spare parts customer service rep.)
Rating: 3, if you have the cash and buy new products each year buy this product now, but please make this worth my money next year (because I do in fact appreciate and enjoy your products), or maybe reconsider the price.
