Back in December I had the opportunity to link up with some new co-workers, former co-workers, and a couple of snowboard legends for a day to try out Burton Snowboard’s newest technology – StepOn

I had heard through the grapevine about the project || I knew who was behind it, and as I gathered more details || I knew it was something I needed to ride.

Everyone remembers old step-ins, and as we all know, nobody wants those to come back || But this, it’s different || This is all of the best of the old school, combined with the best and newest tech || Something Burton has constantly pioneered.

Here is a sneak peak of the StepOn – it could change snowboarding forever.

Starting with the Photon Boot || Burton has moved the second Boa to act like an ankle strap

The boots and bindings use 3 contact points || the main one being the heel

Quick look || The front contact points on the bindings

Quick Release Lever || Lift up || Pivot the front of the boot, and you are out

The Froth Legend himself, Alex Andrews giving the crew the most important instruction of the day || “If I say it’s good, it’s good!

Local Burton Sales Rep Trevor Brady, prepping a board to be SteppedOn

After having tried the StepOn bindings and boots on multiple boards, under a variety of conditions || The biggest selling factor for me was that I never once had to worry about how I was attached to my board || I know this won’t be for everyone || But don’t knock it until you ride it.

Available Winter 17/18 at Select Burton Dealers
