Flow NXT
The Flow NXT is a series of Flow bindings which includes the Flow NXT FX (all-mountain, freeride), Flow NXT FS (freestyle) and Flow NXT AT (all-mountain, freestyle). The Flow NXT series is a high end binding in Flow’s lineup and the three different options should provide a binding for any riding style. All NXT bindings features a one piece highback with aluminum baseplate and four MINIrachet buckles attached to an I-Flex Powerstrap.
Many riders think Flow bindings are for beginners. The NXT series will certainly dispel that myth. The Flow NXT series is a very solid binding in the FX, FS (pictured) or AT. Riders love the ultimate adjustability you receive with four MINIrachets instead of the two you get on the lower end Flow bindings. A few riders have reported problems with a broken rachet but it does not appear to be a widespread issue.

Flow has fixed all of the bugs with the 2008 NXT AT
What a great Binding some have said it is hard to get in to on steeps they must not be a good rider as it is easy to get in to standing on hard pack is one way but on the knees is the easy way to enjoy this great binding.
I pop of the lifts as I ride off I am in the binding with out stoping this just blows away my friends.
The flow NXT AT is fast to respond to my needs from Greens to Black, Pipes to Box’s you name it I have not found a place I could not ride on the Flow NXT AT.

I bought a pair of 2008 NXT AT’s halfway through last season, replacing my Flow Pro’s. New were 4 mini-ratchets instead of 2, adjustable toe and heel ramps, and a plate cover. Once set up, I needed to make adjustments only when switching boots.
An intermediate rider and confessed old guy, I can’t comment on park performance. That’s not to say that I’m not seeing more and more feature rider’s lock in Flows. For me, it’s about the ease of “on and off” on the shorter Midwest runs where I spend most of my time. A tad heavier than some of the lighter traditionals, the trade off is no pressure points, solid grip and overall good performance.
In short, the Flow NXT ATs are good reliable binders that rival any of their strap-in counterparts.

I rode Flow NXT AT’s all season last year, and I can’t complain about a single thing they had to offer. I was ALWAYS the first in AND out of my bindings, and this caused some of my friends to buy flow also. They have also held up all season, so I plan on buying the team bindings this year!

Bought a pair for the 07/08 season and they are still with me for the 09/10 season. Love them! You can even strap in while on the lift and never stop to look back.
