If you haven't yet heard of Burton's new E.S.T. Snowboard Bindings, here's the scoop: They're from the future. Burton did away with the rigid baseplates found on most bindings and replaced them with removable PU SensoryBEDs (you could take them out and ride right on the topsheet if you wanted to). This revolutionary yet minimalist setup has big-ass benefits. For one, board feel skyrockets. Dampening is amplified, response goes through the roof, and all the while your speed and control reach new heights on rough terrain and pro-park features. The E.S.T. Bindings mount exclusively to Burton's Stria, X8, Jeremy Jones, and Un..Inc snowboards, creating a seamless binding-to-board relationship and four dimensional, infinite stance options for freestyle performance the mountain has never witnessed.
