Yes I remember reading an old article (2 or 3 years ago) saying that the next steps in innovation in the snowboard industry will pass by better connection between boots and snowboards (they were talking about bindings)… this article was saying that, even if companies do better each years with the boards (they cannot innovate too much and they reach the lightness so far and explored the maximum regarding shape)… and boots is a boots (and to me is like a soft gear like your jackets)… so it was reasonable to think in the article that bindings will be the future of innovation… I think Now Bindings is really in this category and it is game changer for 2013 (will like to try for sure)… another mention to Flow with the new Nasty tech that get close to SP bindings now… but I will like to try Now bindings with no hi back … thanks for the update!

I have been riding the NOW IPO since December on all of my boards, except splits obviously. It is a fantastic binding to say the least. There have certainly been some critics wondering if there was really a need for tech like this. The answer is yes for sure. Binding tech to this point has been fairly stagnant. Toe caps were a big thing, but other than that, bindings are viewed simply as an item that attaches you to a board. At NOW, we looked at the mechanics of how your boot functions with the binding and then how the binding functions with the board. What JF has come up with is a binding that functions toe to heel much like a skate truck does providing more or less edge pressure based on the bushings that the rider chooses to use. In addition, the binding integrates better with your boot and the natural flex in your lower leg and ankle.

The best part is the binding is a very simple concept. The weight is comparable to any polycarbonate or aluminum binding. So you are not buying into anything that looks crazy or spacey.

Thanks for looking out Frank, hope to see you on the hill!
