Pro Lite Risers

Rider Reviews

With the standard bindings for skiboards being non-releaseables for many years, Spruce came out with a product that allows one to use a regular releaseable ski binding without compromising the flex of a skiboard. This product is a revolution as it allows those who were always curious about skiboarding, but was wearing of using a non-release binding. This is especially the case for those who have previously suffered various leg injuries.

The Spruce binding is beefier than the Bomber Elites, they are heavier, but once you start using them, one can't really tell the difference. Also, the Spruce binding is raised higher than the Bomber Elites, so for someone like myself that loves to carve, this is great as it allows for a more aggressive carve.

These bindings have only released on me a handful of times, and each time, I was glad that it did. One was going down a tree chute which my skiboard got caught between a tree stump and a rock. I'm sure if that happened with my non-releaseables, I would have at the very least suffered a pull-type of injury.

With the ability to be mounted on both skiboards with 4x4 and 4x10 hole configurations, this makes the Spruce bindings a versatile binding that gives you the added piece of mind that it releases just like a regular ski binding.

Nice, solid, high quality bindings that will serve you well. I've never had a pre-release (release without a fall) except for once trying out the park, but I'm afraid that might have been my DIN settings or that I might have stepped on the release lever coming off the box. They have a good connection to the board, and being able to step right in is very convenient. I sometimes wish for the wide brakes that come on the Pro Prime so I could finally leave leashes at home, but ah well. I can't comment much on the feel compared to non-release, unfortunately, since I haven't had the opportunity to try any non-release bindings on my boards. All in all, great bindings, but I'd recommend considering getting the Pro Primes for the wide brakes. (plus the white ones are hot)

I'll keep this one extra short...one word...speechless.

They performed perfectly. They seemed like part of the boards with no noticeable play. The added height really helped get edge to edge. ZERO early releases. Had a few legit releases which no doubt saved my bad knees (patellar tendonitis and a 2006 MCL sprain). I wouldn't ride anything else...regardless of cost. Although I can't compare to non-release, I'm not sure how I could've gotten a nicer ride.

Great product Jeff...my knees agree.
