Bindings for snowblades.

Hi all, have just bought some solomon snowblades and they are the fixed binding type. Does anybody know if i can change them easily to release bindings like you have on normal ski's? Very Happy

since this year Salomon have decided to only sell blades with auto release binding - but I wouldn't be too bothered about changing as they'll probably cost around £60+ and you may have problems getting them fitted! -

I've used blades for years and havn't had any problems just remember to lay down if your loosing the plot ...
