I honestly cant remember too much about bindings, been a while since i've been skiing... but your modelling is amazing man, very detailed. Beautiful renders too. Can you show any ref images you've used?

Thanks for the positive feedback guys user added image

Here's the ref's i've been using:

Freestyle binding (close to the kind I have on my freestyle skiis)
user added image

Race Binding (the exact same kind as I have on my GS race skiis, except mine are Volkl user added image)
user added image

The ski itself that I'm trying to model (the one that I have and I use for freestyle... admittedly not the best freestyle ski, but it's pretty cheap and it hasn't broken even after all the torture that I put it through :p)
