| pmartinj's Full Review: Sims Snowboarding Master Link |
Hi Fellow Snowboarders,
(Please excuse my ALL CAPS portions of this review, but the HTML just doesn't seem to work.)
I know I'm in the minority, but I just have to say that STRAP-ON SNOWBOARD BINDINGS, please excuse my phrase here, SUCK.
I've been SNOWBOARDING FOR 20 YEARS (that's not a typo!), and I skied for 10 years before that. I'm old. I have college degrees in science, engineering, and education, and I spent 3 seasons as the head snowboarding instructor at Timberline Ski Area (Mount Hood, Oregon). So I have some basis for making these claims.
So, after 20 years snowboarding, I have to say that the SWITCH N-TYPE BINDINGS ARE THE BEST BOOT / 'BOARD INTERFACE EVER INVENTED. Unfortunately, Switch (now Vans) quit making the top-of-the-line SPECIAL-N and TEAM-N bindings about 2 years ago. However, sometimes you can find some product here: http://www.snowboardingforgrownups.com
Okay, I'll quit ranting and raving now, and return this forum to its original programming
Have a great season,
Martin
