Salomon Highlander Bindings Review
The Highlanders are stiffer flexing, all mountain bindings. I am always a fan of more responsive bindings, so these are a good match for me.
More info: bit.ly/48aF0wq
I rode these on a variety of different boards, and to me they rode well on everything. They felt safe, I was never worried I was going to break a ratchet of have to do an emergency fix.
Their one difference from other brands is they have a soft heelcup, though in reality when everything is tight I don't know how much that is really adding to anything.

How to Shifty Backside 180 on a snowboard #shorts
Переглядів 3415 місяців тому
Combining a frontside shifty with a backside 180 is a pretty easy way to make a simple trick look a bit better. The timing is a bit trickier, but a little practice is all it takes.

      @SnowboardRobot 23 дні тому

      Sorry for the late reply. I realised I have never written a review on them, but I have ridden the Ultra on a few boards now. I like them a little bit more than my Stratas, even though they aren't technically much different at all. They have a good medium flex, nice ratchets and low profile straps, and pretty damp overall. They are softer and more playful overall than the Cartel X, I found that the close equivalent to Cartel x from Union was the Atlas.

The new Verse pinched my ankles in the shop straight away, I believe it’s the front tongue of the boot causing the problem. Hopefully the 2025 infuse have been rectified

      It is heavier, and noticeably wider than the Mercury, and has a bit more support in the tail. The Mercury is a solid all round choice, but a pretty plain/boring shape. If you want to carve, have better float in powder then go for the Korua.

We had almost half a meter of fresh powder Sunday/Monday in the Alps and I had more fun snowboarding than ever before. Now it’s getting warmer every day, conditions are challenging (bumpy and slushy on the groomers, a bit frosty on what was nice powder just a few days ago) but the board doesn’t even care and cuts through everything like butter… I came from an old Burton board and the difference feels like switching from a hard tail Mountainbike to full suspension. Season is over soon, I have only a week or so left but I can’t wait to ride this board daily next winter!

    After two seasons of riding, the cable (which holds the heel arch) broke! The warranty was denied. Bindings are more than three years old from the production date. There is no trust in these bindings. The technology where the cable is used is not reliable! Be careful! Choose any other bindings but not Salomon. This technology is used in models: Salomon Hologram, Salomon Highlander, Salomon District. I wish you all safe riding! God bless you that this does not happen to you on the mountain slopes!

    Hey dude, loving these reviews. Recently got the aeronaut partly down to your review. Absolutely live it, super quick, turns great and loads of pop! looking to add a more playful board to the quiver next season and wanting something that is easier to mess around and butter on but still has good pop and carves decently. Considering this and the yes greats, maybe the jackpot?... How would you sum up the differences between those three? Any others I should consider?? Cheers bro!

    • @SnowboardRobot
      @SnowboardRobot 3 місяці тому

      Thanks! Yeah the Jackpot and Greats would be good, all three do seem pretty light overall. They are pretty interchangable, you could go for the Jackpot if you want something more standard/classic, or the Greats if you want the extra width which will probably help with the carving. As another option, the Huck Knife ua-cam.com/video/WZI7hrOW8NQ/v-deo.html will do all that super well too. If you want super fun and easy to butter, the Bataleon Wallie ua-cam.com/video/Pr8X1-pAcYY/v-deo.html . At least with the Wallie there is zero crossover with the boards, it is definitely a lot more playful. Won't carve as well as the others, but it is still possible.

      I found both to be quite similar in terms of stability really, it was only the edge hold of the Easy Rider that was a step up.

Really considering the Mercury but just wondered how forgiving it is at low speed, and how agile it feels?

      Pin tonic if you want big wide, surfy and floaty turns. I haven't been on the new hovercraft, but the old one was great if you just want float and the ability to smash through everything in a straight line. It doesn't turn as nicely as the korua though.
