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.

Nothing from today? How about the Baltimore strap invented by Justin Hebbel, or some cats from the 90s that didn’t tighten up their toe strap enough?

How about the drake adjustable flex feature (early 2000s), Burtons slider system from last year, or the burton binder/boot side clamp thing, burton stealing the toe cap from t9. How about the side things on your calf magoon and other good jibbers use? I could go on and on, sick feature on the site, I could of made it sicker though.
