I had a parks board with Ultras (05) on it and had to get longer bolts than supplied with the liquid force boots.

Now changed my board from the parks which i just couldnt get on with, and sent my riding backwards in the summer to a l/f board.

when i tried to fix the l.f boots to an l.f board i found that the bolts which i had used for my parks were way to long so had to cut them down.

Iasked a dealer about this and was simply told that Hyperlite set the fixings deeper in the mould than liquid force.

Still the upside of all this is that now the weather is so ++++ cold we have time to mess around cutting bolts down.....

Not sure what Hyperlite say, but Liquid Force state that your warranty becomes invalid if you use non-LF bindings on your board. This is no matter anyway if you're going to slide or hit kickers with your board, cause you've agreed to kiss it goodbye, but if you're not and mix and run into a problem, its worth knowing you ain't covered. When a binding has been mounted on a board for a few uses, it tends to leave a mark on the topsheet. This mark is how they identy what bindings you've used on a warranty claim. I guess this is standard policy across all the board makers, seems to be on snowbords too.
