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!
