I hear nothing but good comments from union, throw in to the mix the unique snowboard mag design and BLAMM!! instastoke (TM)

green

give us the green!

Great shape but Outta date.

on a Burton Air, CK pro.
these burton bindings were made in Italy and really held up well, check the huge highbacks dude. and no, I dont ride this setup, my current board is a Capita stairmaster xtreme w/no binders. but I planed on saving up for some Cadet DLX's

Yo dude!

I've got a brand new pair of black and red Cadet DLX's with your name on them if you want to trade them for that board! Seriously, how much do you want for it? That was actually the first model I ever owned.

can be yours

if your only so lucky for the low low price of $299.00
great lookin binder but really what is the deal with overpriced fashionista plastic.
the purpose is to hold your foot to the board. it does look alot stronger than a bungee cord

binder-breakdown please?

Yeaa... what's up w/the plastic.. Union uses aluminum/metal on their binders right? Where is it exactly?

"EXTRUDED ANODIZED Aluminum heelcup"

"100% pure aluminum the lightest, strongest, and most durable aluminum heelcup on the market."

They also make a Magnesium Heelcup on their higher end models.

"
Compared to Aluminum, Magnesium is half the weight, but has four times the strength. Magnesium Heelcups increase response and will not bend."

Man I really hope those binders go to a deserving person...
Good Luck all..and Happy Thanksgiving

Union is da POOP

!@#$%*

some old bent metal-franken-bindings i found in the shed

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I dont' ride em, but still worth a look

Awwesome.

Niiice! Those bindings are BAD-ASS. I have loooved that binder long time.. Sammy Davis Jr. on the pink and the yellow had an arrow pointing up that said "LOSER" -

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

ahaha... Bent Metal has had some good styles. They are still solid too (just swap the straps, they are beat!). I really dig this aluminum binder frame style- its light, strong and simple styles.. : )

my bindings

and here are my rusty bindings:

they served me well..until one of them freakin fell off from the board while I was riding..that hurt

Crap-Nine bindings

well this one is for everyone that get the hand me down gear from their pro-shred friends.... These bindings are shit... lets start with the origin... besides them being technine, these bindings were of the samples so they are even crappier. So these samples came from a good friend of mine, lil Lucas Magoon. So while Lucas was in Reno spending the 10g's that he won during the WCI, on tall Tee's and candy... I was high jacking these off his board... he owed me money for a bag of... well, lets just say he owed me money so i took em fair and square.

Now the only good thing about these bindings, Lane Knaack stole before i got to em... the Puffy straps that come with em... tose have been replaced with the previous years justin hebbel strap along with the Darell Mathes Thorn Buckles... Tecnines really go thru buckles... and to boot these things are more loose than my ex-girlfriend... you might remember her from the block party hahaha...

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I know they're not in the worst of shape... but they were still ridden. not like those burnt things and that baseless ankle breaker... homeboy found that pic online... haha

ohh and thats the new smokin traction that the SnowBoard Union's will be going on... those boards are the best... i had to retire the mini to get the Smokin Goin... come on make me look even better than i already do... i saw a pair of those on Zim's Skate Banana the other day at Mammoth and boy do they look sick...

::

what about the bindings on the smokin board? hmmm... lemme guess... you're going to claim they're someone else's?

from the mini

well those bindings have another story... those came off my rossi mini.. if you have ever ridden mammoth for the last two years or northstar you may have seen a fat guy on a lil board... that was me... loved that 121... the mosst fun on a snowboard i've ever had... its recently retired and i'm waiting on a custom mini from smokin but those came originally from Luke or Jack.. A good friend of mine from Poop-E-Finger Colgan sold em to me for 40 bucks after he stole em from the mitranis good friend Nick... we told nick they just dissapeared and yea those things are burton bindings and they suck too... they have broken two of my boards since i got em... and Colgan needed the money...

but yes there are bindings on that board... but it has yet to be ridden... ill keep ya posted on the smokin traction

^*^

Are you the fat kid on a mini I saw at Boreal the other day?

You should tell 'Smokin Jay' that his back yard has the perfect setup for dropping in off of I-80 to QP onto his roof- if he's worried about Cindy(landlord) tell him I said it was ok...it's been done before. Besides she's in Hawaii, what does she care?

hahaha

well i havent been riding at boreal this year yet but last year i was there a bunch too... ill be getting a pass to Boreal soon... ohh and for the drop off of I 80... it does look fun... once theres snow... we'll have to do a smokin shoot out there... ill get Farmer to drop it... he's sick like that...

CONTEMPLATING THE ENTRIES AS OF YET

All these are good.

I am liking the guy with the ride set up straight out of 93 though.

1)Ride horseshoe baseless or Boardbreakers as we use to call them.
2)Burnt dudes binders are cool ....

But I am just laughing at you now because you slept and let your freinds burn your shit. Funny though I use to use a blow torch to customize my Burton highbacks and heat them them step into them and strapin while the Highback was hot to heat mold the highback exactly to my forward lean and boot profile!

keep them coming.

Bindings

Yea i was pissed cuz now my new signal snowboard is sitting there lonely waiting for me to make money and and get bindings so i can go shred

it would be sad

all i have to say is it would be so sad to see the snowmag unions go up in flames. might wanna consider some new friends

wtf is snow? i ride at bear

Kawi Green...

Huh Gary? I like it... but get some brown and orange ones and we'll go carve 360's or do Rankin's move "La Carve" on the Mtn this season.

JB.

BURNT BINDINGS

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

So one night a couple weeks ago some friends thought it would be funny to burn the highback on my right binding i didnt think it was to funny when i woke up with it on my dresser so now i have to save up 200 dollars for some new union force bindings and my local hill is open in like a week andi have no job I hate my friends!!

lets be honest now....

I could search the web for the worst bindings i can find, and then say I've been riding them for 12 years. But to be honest I have a pair of last years union bindings i picked up for cheap. The bindings in the picture below are actually now my brothers. They are about 6 years old and are "joyride" i guess. I've been trying to help my little brother get into snowboarding. I'm hooking him up with my old K2 board this year... but as of now these are the bindings hes gonna have to ride. It would be great if i could hook him up with these as well.

Thanks... and here they are

they should definitely go to the kids who put up pictures of their actual, riding bindings. not those wackos that are putting up shots of their first set ups or some shitty bindings they went and picked up at salv army

note: im sure you guys wouldnt let that happen, i just wanted to say it out loud so people wouldnt post retard pillows

✠™

Ha . . i think its pretty obvious whose taking the piss (me included) . . but those binders are fucking sick, and they should go to a deserving home

Great idea Gary, Snowboard Mag leading the way as usual . .

very sick...

...gary, great idea!

ride baseless

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

ride baseless low back's
nice brand ankle straps
technine balt.'s
k2 rachets
mismatched ladders

they ride like a dream

shred happens

high tech

I broke this board back out a couple years ago and started riding it again. I've probaly put 40 days on it since. Its a 145 but i've taken it every where from the park/pipe to pointing steep pow lines. The bindings are super flexy which gives it a skatey feel that just tons of fun. Just have to be realy on point on landings cause their not a lot of nose or tail to lean on.

I think its crazy that burton is making baselesses again except i'd imagine that the foam pad under the foot would lose you the added responciveness.

union is making low backs which is cool they make tweaking grabs a lot easier. My method's have realy improved, im close to getting the true Washington style, like kelly, lynn, line, and joey mcguire.

shred happens

Blank snowboards....

and Mean Bruce were the leaders in baseless binding systems and gay orange boards back in the day (I think 94/95). Really bad times then, I hope you get some real binders and go shred with Gary.

✠™ Still aint got soft binders this side of the pond . . . .

Me and my English teeth sure would love a set of them binders . . .
