It’s no secret to those who know me that I’m a Union fan boy. I’ve tried almost every binding in their line and currently ride a few pairs of the classic Force, the Stratus, and a set of Falcor’s from a few years back. I also had the Atlas the year it came out, as […]
Recently, I was fortunate enough to test out these amazing bindings from Thirty Two utilizing the FASE system. Thirty Two has been a player in the snowboard game for a long time but in recent years made the foray into hard goods such as bindings and boards. They did a fantastic job with this specific […]
After spending decades running traditional straps, I was curious to see how Jones Snowboards would integrate the new FASE technology into their lineup. Built on the back of the NOW Binding design, the Jones Mercury FASE is a hybrid snowboarding binding that attempts to bridge the gap between “locked-in” response and the convenience of quick […]
When the legendary snowboard boot brand ThirtyTwo announced they were getting into the binding game, this was quite a big deal in itself. But when their initial offerings all feature an all new ThirtyTwo T32M FASE fast entry binding system, it marks a new point in snowboard technology and puts us firmly into the “future […]
There’s something sacred about a symbiotic connection between rider and board — that moment when your turns feel telepathic and your confidence is absolute. The right snowboard bindings don’t hold you down; they set you free.

I’m a Union binding lover, and have been riding them exclusively for the past 15 seasons. So when I saw that Union had partnered with Burton and licensed the Step On system, I absolutely had to see what was going on. This power move shows that this system is here to stay, and the two […]
Binding straps are SO 2022…JK, but every time I go out on the hill I notice more and more step in/on strapless bindings out there. I don’t doubt the functionality of these new systems, but something about the feel (I’ve tried a few “Step On” set ups) leave me craving my good ol’ boot/ binding/ […]
Ride Snowboards has been in the game since the onset of the snowboard revolution. I can remember being a young child and my cousin getting a Ride snowboard for Christmas and not only he but we were all thrilled for what was to come! Ride has been turning out great products for over thirty years […]
If you like to shred everything aggressively, from park to groomers to backcountry, looking for every hit to spin off and cliff to huck, Arbor’s Hemlock Bindings are for you. They’re strong and light, super sensitive to your every movement but burly enough to handle even your heaviest slashes and drops. Arbor is known for […]
If you don’t know about Jeremy Jones and Jones Snowboards, then you’ve probably only ever vacationed at the beach. But if you already love making big powerful turns on the snow, what you might not know is that Jones has an incredible lineup beyond snowboards: outerwear, layers, splitboard accessories, and a variety of snowboard bindings […]
