From dynamic movements to severe adjustments! 20-21 "sLAB.ONE"

Popular as a binding that thoroughly supports high-speed riding and carvingsLAB.ONE". What kind of positive effect does this model, which is also the top model of SP Bindings, actually give to slips?I asked Yunosuke Sugaya.

— When doing high-speed tricks, not only the technique but also the gear selection is important.What are the elements required for binding?

Sugaya:Gliding at high speeds greatly increases the force received from the snow surface, and the movement of the board that receives it becomes faster (stronger) than usual.In order to use that great force for tricks, it is necessary to operate the board more accurately.The binding is what connects the body and the board that perform the "operation". "Manipulate the board accurately" and "transmit the force received by the board accurately to the body".In order to do this well, the binding must be highly responsive."How to transmit without power loss or time loss" from oneself to the board and from the board to oneself is an important factor required for binding.

— Currently in use "sLAB.ONEWhat kind of model is "?"

Sugaya:All models of SP bindings equipped with the Fastec system are highly responsive, but "sLAB.ONE"" Is a model that you can feel it more strongly with the large high back and the aluminum plate at the bottom.And since there is no heel cup, I think it is also a point that you can use a lot of movement in the nose tail direction.Many kinds of movements are required to achieve my style of "combining carving and tricks", so "sLAB.ONE" that can handle from dynamic movements to severe adjustments is the best gear for me. I think.

— What makes you happy with this binding?

Sugaya:You can now feel the changes when changing boards and the changes in snow surface conditions more severely.By making the binding that connects the board and the body accurate, you can grasp various changes in more detail.This improves the reproducibility of tricks and makes it easier to perform difficult movements.I feel that the speed of improvement has also changed significantly.
