So they don’t go down all the way like normal bindings, so would buying a normal snowboard bag be okay??

My husband has almost the exact same bag and both our snowboards fit in there, so I think that if your bindings don’t go all the way down it should be fine.
how reliable are flow bindins, i’d like to learn some new tricks and am in to the terrain park i guess part of the process f learning is falling so how durable are flow bindings when it comes down to it?
They are very durable, but with that durability, come extra weight. You’ll have to buy a higher end flow binding in order to lower the weight, but the ease of use provided by flows is awesome. And don’t worry about the backs popping open. The only way that happens if you don’t have them set tight enough. They are a good binding though, at least the higher end models.

I have a pair of strap bindings,, But Im thinking of getting Flow. I am a beginner,, so I think Flow maybe better for me..
However I heard that there is barrier or judgemental thought for people who wear flow instead of strap….ex: "only newbs wear flow"—or something like that… Is that correct?
Thanks
Well if you’re looking into flows and you ride a lot don’t bother with the cheap ones. They break pretty easy so the only ones I would look at if you do ride a lot would be the TEam and NXT line.

i have a pair and i hate them. the only way i can get them on is when im standing up. should i get a new pair of regular bindings or just stay with this pair. how else can i put them on in a easier way. (this bindings are known to be one of the best kind on the market.) thanks bucnhes.
I have ride bindings on my snowboard and they’re really nice. I love them, I recommend them. hope this helped :]
If it’s an ICS binding system than no if it’s the typical 3 hole pattern burton uses I’m pretty sure you can buy adapters for the plate to fit them.
What are some of the cons? (specifically the flow team bindings)
-Flow bindings combine the feel of a strap binding with the ease of a step-in binding.
-Release the high back so it reclines, slide your foot in, then snap the high back into place. its that easy
-A large "tongue" covers the entire top of your foot. for more comfort
Flow bindings are the easiest snowboard bindings on the market to get in and out of – even easier than regular step-ins. Just recline the high-back, slide your foot in and snap the high-back up and into place.
They are also compatible with any soft boot – a huge advantage because it lets you choose from a wide variety of boots to find the best fit. (Regular step-in boots and bindings must be purchased in tandem to be compatible with each other.)
The downsides? Flow bindings are difficult to set up and adjust, and if you ever want to change your stance or transfer the bindings to another board it will take some time to get all your adjustments back in place. Also, they don’t fold down so you can put them in a car roof rack.
Pros
-Very easy to get foot in and out
-Similar feel to a strap binding
-Compatible with any soft boot
Cons
-Can’t fold down for placement in a car rack
-Time-consuming to mount and adjust
-Not anatomically shaped

i am going up north on a snowboard trip this weekend and i need a new baseplate for my bindings fast. I have some flow bindings but im not quite sure what model they are. the closest model i could find is the FL-55. if i just got a baseplate from that model would it work for my bindings?
NO.
Baseplates are very specific. Although they may fit and feel perfect, the teeth do not line up as they should. A pro broke his leg because of this. When he landed, the teeth slipped, and the binding turned around with his foot in it.
Not to scare you, but it is not worth the risk. Call the manufacturer and have them send you new ones.
