ride delta and arbor push

This weekend I leave for switzerland and having purchased a beautiful new bamboo arbor push board I went on the quest to find the perfect bindings.

It was rather difficult. The final contenders were the Burton Lexa and the Ride Delta and Ride Beta. I was looking for one that would react better off-piste and would be more solid than my forum recon bindings.

The Burton Lexa took the podium. She looked like a good all-mountain binding that would fit perfectly with my burton boots, but even as she was rattling away about “on the toe straps” and non-tool adjustability, I remembered I’d been out with her like before and love was not in the relationship.

The Ride Delta sat cooly in the background and didn’t say a thing. He knew that if I was the right person, he wouldn’t need to give a big speech. I was at first a little dubious about his aluminium frame.. but soon his differences won me over.

So heres to a glorious relationship between snow, aluminium and bamboo.

Ride Delta RRP: £140
Arbor Push Board RRP: £350
