Step-Ons or Supermatics? Let’s take a look at what sets them apart from each other! Both systems are wonderful options for anyone. Whether it’s a big mountain rider looking to keep up with their skier friends, a midwest riding looking to maximize riding time, or someone throwing down in the park. These quick entry binding systems can do it all! 🏂 #supermatic #stepon

Both no. Fase
Supermatics are a great idea but they’re heavy as hell
Kinda funny hes showing me who is a beginner the Supermatics and hes got the front strap on the top of the boot, SMH.
Still love my Flow!
supermatic sucks
Supermatics are hard to get into when the straps are tightened properly ime
I just saw a video of the Burton one (the same one in the video without any top strap) where the boarder caught an edge and broke both ankles because the boot is too soft, and her feet ballerina-ed. I also heard that Burton is aware of this issue and still released it.
I saw a girl @ Camal Back brake both ankles with Burton step on boots & bindings..😶🌫️
both r dogshit
Supermatics have a weak point, the heelcup pivot. I broke mine, 100$ to repair. 🙁
Step-Ons all day, no question. It’s a wrap.
Competed, instructed, and ski (snowboard) patrolled on traditional strap bindings for 28 years and loved them. Like a lot of people I was really hesitant to adopt the step-on bindings after remembering how step-ins used to be in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I did a little research and decided to give them a shot and they have done nothing but impress me. The only issue that I’ve run into is trying to get the “second click” in soft snow and have had to do some long powder runs half clicked in. I haven’t ridden the supermatics, but several a patrollers on our staff ride them and while they have liked them they are extremely heavy and mechanically complicated which means prone to breaking. I’ve seen three pair of supermatics break in two years and while Nidecker’s customer service was excellent and very helpful, that isn’t exactly the performance I’m looking for. grain of salt patrollers are way harder on their gear that virtually anyone else, so that may also play a factor.
Supermatics: complex tech
Step-one: Simplicity
Don't forget the lanyard for Step-Ons at some resorts. 😂😂
I own both and love them both.
Right but the super.atics don't require a proprietary boot. Both are cool though.
I'm still using my old Flow, Also have a K2 hybrid with ratchet. I don't really see the use of the ratchet honestly.
Congratulations, you made ski bindings with extra steps
Have you ever heard about FLOW?
supermatic are the best
