now that I think about it, I must have been crazy modeling what I was. It's about as far away from a binding as anything. After a long day of skiing (and patting myself on the back for successfully landing a 360 iron cross and a grind on the monster 7 foot rainbow rail user added image), I now know what the binding should look like user added image

I've stripped down some images for refs user added image

This would be a freestyle binding (it's very close to the one on my freestyle skiis, and that's the reference that I'm using for my modeling.
user added image

This would be a kind of race bindind. I have something similar on my GS Race skiis
user added image

I'm going for the first one, though gonna add some elements of the second one to it user added image

not much to say atm. It looks good. The centerpeice thing needs a bit more detail when comparing to the picture. It also looks a bit flat. it needs to bulge out more.

Keep it up user added image
