force sl, forum republic or burton mission

For groomers and small kickers, any of the listed bindings would work great. I'd try the bindings out with your boots to see which are more comfortable, don't have significant pressure points, etc. I personally like burton bindings because of how smooth the ratchets are, but have never ridden missions. I also just saw some of the 2013 Flux bindings and their ratchets were really buttery smooth as well. Anyways, of the ones you listed, I'd get the republics. I think Pat Moore and John Jackson used to or currently ride republics, so chances are they'd be plenty responsive for the type of riding you do.

^l'm actually his friend, but anyway, it is because his free binding coupon is up with 4 points. So he basically wants to get one never the less haha

well thing is, l never tried those vitas yet haha. l'm leaning towards the republic cuz the mission is like a step down, the SL doesnt match and l like a stiffer binding. l was also looking into the SHaka, but l heard it is very similar to the vitas? if thats false let me know
