  • The latest take on backless bindings comes from NOW Snowboarding. You may have heard of these, maybe even seen a pair or two on the slopes, and you're probably skeptical of "How could it work with no highbacks?" The basic idea is that the Kingpin system is supposed to be what sets these bindings apart from the competition, by giving you better feel & flex.

  • Being an independent brand, made in the US, and hailing from the Midwest (Milwaukee) you know I had to be all over Mue Apparel,



I took it out for a day session of (mostly) park laps and a few groomers, temps were in the low 20s early and warming up to about 28F

  • This year's Holy Moly II is basically an overhaul of the original so I'm not sure why they stuck with that name rather than call it something else.  I didn't ride the original so I can't make a comparison to that, but here's how the very last "best park board in the world" stacks up.

  • The Kink has been a staple of Ride's snowboard lineup for years and this price-point freestyle deck probably isn't going away any time soon. It's a full rocker freestyle board so it should be a pretty loose and playful ride.
