Hi all!
I am a new member here, but have been reading the forum for some time. I am a snowboarder and will be making my boards this summer. I also read Grafsnowboards and between the two the amount of info is staggering.
Anyway I was looking at risers and lifters that skiers use on there ski's and was wondering how they are attached and how the bindings are attached to the lifters/risers. Are ski bindings screwed into the ski, or do they use inserts like snowboards? Since I will be making my own boards I have been thinking about making my own bindings. Some of the Olympic hardbooters were using a different type of binding that appears to have Risers/Lifters on the edges of the board instead of mounting to the center 4cm of the board.
I guess I need help understanding how the method of attachment allows the board to flex properly. Thanks in advance...

Kelvin,
I live in Mayfield Hts., are you familiar? How long ago were you in Cleveland and what part did you live in? I ride hardboots and race, but I have also raced Boardercross. Winter pretty much sucked here. It rained all weekend at 3 out of 8 races this year. I really dislike sitting at the top of the hill in the rain waiting for starting order. Oh well, thats Cleveland!
