Binding Timeline: Part 2 of 3
In the beginning there was an urge to find different ways to get down a snow-covered hill, to be different, and to tinker. This account is not meant to issue bragging rights or lay down who’s-first claims (unless they are widely known,) but it’s an effort to educate and give thanks to the early pioneers who had the ingenuity and took the time to make snowboarding better. This is a simple account of the evolution of the snowboard binding.

Im lovin this binding timeline, Snowboardings history is funny and rad. I would seriously like to get my hands on a pair of those late 80’s Sims with the wire-bail ladder hooks, or those urethane full wraps from Winterstick.
