19-20 model Pro snowboarder Atsushi Ishikawa's difference from the general binding and the reason why SP is good for the first rear entry

SP Bindings uses a rear entry system.A typical two-strap binding is a hold where the boots are placed on the footbed and held down with two straps. In the case of SP Bindinsg, put the toes of the boots in the toe cup and hold it so that it can be pinched with a high back.This makes it possible to create a hold that cannot be set with a typical 2-strap binding.Finally, hold it with the ankle strap from above.

Holding from these two directions is a feature of SP Bindigs.

The two major brands that have adopted the rear entry system are SP Bindings and FLOW.As a feature of the hold, SP Bindings has a toe cup, but FLOW holds the instep part greatly with a large strap.Atsushi Ishikawa says that SP Bindings is recommended because it is easy to use if you try rear entry from general binding because there is a hold of the toe part.If you are interested in rear entry, please start from SP Bndings.Once used, you'll see why Atsushi Ishikawa chose SP Bindings.
