Snowboarding was founded on the idea that rules are there to be broken. Regardless, the GNU Cheeter Snowboard Bindings aren't cheating the system, just thinking outside the box. They have backward leaning highbacks make it easy to slip your foot in rear entry style, without needing to do the old "sit down strap up stand up" routine before dropping in. Add a medium-soft flex for all day comfort and all mountain versatility, and you've got a winner.
