During
the grunge decade of the 1990s, snowboarding rapidly grew into a popular
winter alternative to skiing. Shown here is a 1992 binding model given to
Henninge at the start of the project, the ancestors of which came from water
skiing bindings. The function of this new application had not yet been fully
realized. We found it very exciting to be involved with a product in its
formative years, when the market had not yet settled into complacent standards.
During a period like this, small contributions can take root and great innovations
can alter the course of an industry. Burton needed a new binding highback
for its popular three-strap alpine binding to improve the function and appearance
of the product for the next winter season, and we obliged. |
