Burton Escapade Bindings
I’ve realized I can be really nerdy about certain things. Earlier this season, I purchased a new pair of Burton Escapade bindings to go with my relatively new Burton Feelgood ES snowboard. Last night, I finally attached the bindings to the board. I had to admit, it took me awhile to realize how to detach the baseplate cushioning (a step they failed to note in the one sheet installation manual).
Anyhow, as of now, I’m very happy with my purchase and eager to get on the slopes tomorrow to test them out. A girl friend just asked me why I like these new bindings. I responded with:
well what’s odd is that it’s reverted from the cap strap (which I liked). but i like these bc i bought a M instead of S. one pain point was that i felt like i was forcing/squeezing the straps with exceptional effort each time i strapped in. since it’s M now, it should be easier. also, the straps are super thick and soft with air filling, so i think it will have less of that cutting off circulation sensation. also, i like the feel of the rachets, seems softer and smoother with a sturdier click. also, i don’t need to lock in my back plates so i can just fold them down easily, one less step. and finally, the full bed cushioning on the baseplate is exceptionally thick and bouncy.
I never knew I could be so nerdy about something like snowboard bindings.
