Snowbound... yet again (run #5)

Like I said in the previous post, I'll be headin' up to Tahoe again to hit the slopes.
Super juiced, probably because this'll be the first time I get to use my new gear. And for those who haven't kept up with my snow-related news (and even if you have), here's a lil' taste of my new new. Or is it nu nu?

The 2009 Burton Custom with the new ICS system


Don't mind my, "Sorry Roger, u Tiger now!" blanket. Haha. It's the sickest shit ever. Super comfy. But back to the board: these are the Burton Triad EST's. It stands for Extra Sensory Technology. They only work with the new ICS system. Extra cushion...Super Buttery.


This is the new ICS system. It stands for Infinite Channel System. Instead of your standard 3D system, where you screw in 3 - 4 screws from the bottom of your binding into your board, this system allows you to screw in your bindings with only two screws along a track that allows you to rotate and place your bindings in an infinite amount of stances. Traditionally with the 3D system, you can rotate your stance in any degree, but the process is lengthy, and the spots where u move your bindings on the board to either widen or shorten your stance is limited to placement in the holes on the board. This new technology is breaking away from traditional thinking, offering endless possibilities in the way you ride.


Super comfy binding straps that wrap around the toe area and push your boot into your binding as suppose to the traditional binding that straps over the wide part of the foot, squeezing and putting pressure on your feet.


I'll be doin' the regular one day trip.
Leavin' at 5am and headin to Northstar. See ya'll when I get back.

Burton

By the way, this is that new board I copped last week.



Ayo Technology maaaaan. A lotta people hate on Burton 'cause it's the mainstream commercialized Nike of the snowboard game - when it comes down to it, it's really all preference. Personally, I'm sold on this ICS stuff.

At least for now...
