• New Snowboard Binding Era Is N New Snowboard Binding Era Is Now

  • From: shayjohnson
  • Description:

    When it comes to snowboard binding technology, companies always try to reinvent the wheel, but not much has changed over the past couple years other than bells and whistles. Thanks to pro snowboarder JF Pelchat, that’s about to change in 2013 with the launch of NOW bindings. Influenced by the movements of a skateboard truck and designed around a pivot point, the NOW IPO changes what’s possible.
    
    “The NOW binding acts as an independent hanger, which allows for a slight movement from toe to heel. Regular bindings will flex and lose most of the energy in the baseplate-disc area,” NOW inventor JF Pelchat said. “The NOW binding bypasses the baseplate and discs through the kingpin (pivot point) and transfers the energy right onto your edges.”
    
    The NOW IPO binding debuted January at the Snowsport Industries America trade show in Denver, Colorado. Photo by Shay Johnson.
    
    NOW launches with only one model, the IPO, to mark a new beginning of energy transfer and response. The binding isn’t designed for any specific rider in mind but it can change responsiveness by changing the density of the bushings on the hanger. The harder the bushing, the more responsive the ride. The IPO will be sold with soft, medium and hard bushings so the rider can adjust and play with the density settings. Instead of being too technical for the average consumer, JF made it easy with a binding that’s fully adjustable and easy to mount to any board on the market.
    
    “The process started in my garage six years ago. I had an idea, I built a working prototype, rode it and made some changes. I had people start riding them — friends and pros, then I did more changes. When I felt I had something good, I went after financing — the hard part, joined with Nidecker and filed for a Patent Cooperation Treaty,” Pelchat said. “I then hired Alex Warburton for his knowledge and experience dealing with Chinese Factories. We worked on a binding design, made a prototype, scrapped it and went back to the original design, which is today’s IPO model. We’re now in the final stages of fine tuning everything and will launch production in March.”
    
    NOW is already harnessing the power of big name pro snowboarders with a team that includes Devun Walsh, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and the YES snowboard team.

    Wondering how it works? Get the full explanation in this NOW video.
    
    For the first time in years riders have new technology to look forward to with NOW bindings. The end result is a smoother, more comfortable binding that is designed to turn a snowboard while using less energy and having more response. Riders have already demoed the bindings on the slopes and giving feedback on the NOW Facebook page.
    
    “By far the best binding I have ever ridden. Seamless edging, unmatched heel hold, and light as a feather,” fan of NOW Matt Garcia said. “I can’t wait till I can call a pair my own.”
    
    The response has been welcoming for NOW, they’ve already taken home awards from ISPO for “Overall Winner Action Segment” and from Transworld Business for “Must See Product of 2012.”
    
    Pro Snowboarders aren’t just pretty faces and fun tricks anymore, they’re now making their mark on snowboarding product designs. JF Pelchat and DCP at the NOW binding booth at the Mt Baker Banked Slalom. Photo by Shay Johnson.
    
    NOW has big plans in store for delivering a binding design that keeps the industry questioning what is possible.
    
    “We want to be known as a brand that brought innovative and relevant technology to the sport while keeping it fun,” Pelchat said. “The master plan is to grow the brand steadily and nicely and introduce a product that serves a purpose and enhance the riding experience. I also want to support athletes that believe in NOW and want to be part of it for the right reasons.”
    
    Only time will tell if this is the new era of binding technology and NOW leading the charge. If anything, 2013 is the year to reinvigorate snowboard bindings.

• Deeper: Alaska, Glacier Camp D Deeper: Alaska, Glacier Camp Day 4

  • From: JeremyJones
  • Description:

    GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, Alaska.  Day 4. Today we took a big step up the terrain progression ladder considering it is only our second day on snow.  We are surrounded by big terrain.  Finding step-in runs is an issue even though the snow pits show a stable snowpack and there has not been a single red flag.  It is still hard to put ourselves on big faces.  We avoid them at all costs and wallow in the safety of the spines even though it means waist deep tunnelling is in order.   We stepped into one of the mellowest bowl’s in our zone and stretched our legs on some wide open spines. Each time out we learn more and more of the terrain.  Next up is the “Wall of Walls.”  We will start with the mellowest lines on the corner of the wall and how far up the terrain ladder we move up will depend on how long the high pressure holds.  Today I was able to see the top ridges and think I found an access coulior to the top of the main ridge.  Depending on what we can access there is no limit to how far we can take our riding.

    I climbed mountains to know myself better and to find my own dimension, driven by the beauty of alpine nature, by its charm, and by the thirst for knowledge.” Walter Bonatti Italian climbing legend.

    

    

    **Half way up our first line of the trip and looking back at Ryland Bell.  This shows why we hike spines.  Two totally different aspects right next to each other.  The sunny side was heating up making the it dangerous so I stayed on the shady side.  Some days it is the other way around.**

    

    **This is the view of the same face from below.  Ryland Bell getting his AK legs back.**

    

    **It was awesome having Lucas around.  He is so full of energy and ready to jump anything.  I can see the influence of all the Baker legends before him.  He is doing the Mt Baker Hardcore’s proud with big natural drops and high speed lines.**

    

    **Josh Dirksen has one of the best turns in snowboarding.  Alaska is a great place for him to show it off.**

    **Our camp is at the top of the glacier to the center left.  We did not want to go home the way we came because it was steeper and more exposed then we thought.  Eventually we found a way up on the face to the right.**

    

    **The last rays of sun 11 hours into our day and three hours from home.**
