Ryu Hyodo enjoys snowboarding in a wide range of genres.
What is the binding "CORE" that can meet his riding style?
QXNUMX: Please tell us about "CORE" by SP Bindings this time.
This is a sudden question, but what kind of binding is "CORE"?
Hyodo: My impression of CORE is that it is a model that can be adapted to a wide range of genres.
For better or worse, it doesn't specialize in any genre, and it provides solid support from the fine movements of Guratori to the dynamic movements of flying a big kicker.
I choose CORE because I want to incorporate various genres into my everyday riding.
QXNUMX: I see!It feels like you can enjoy all genres with this one.
Is it recommended for riders of intermediate level or higher?
Hyodo: My feeling is that it's neither too hard nor too soft, and it's easy to handle even at low speeds, so it's recommended for beginners.In addition, this season's CORE has a multi-entry system, so not only can you wear it without removing the strap, but you can also attach and detach the strap with a ratchet while the highback is raised. Even those who cannot wear a board can use it with confidence.
QXNUMX: It's difficult for beginners to put on the bindings while standing, so I appreciate the multi-entry system.Moreover, if you can stand and wear them, you can also do rear entry!Then, the fun of improving will also increase ♪
I think that many riders want to ski powder as they get better, but is it suitable for powder riding as well?
Hyodo: I think one of the goals is to be able to do rear entry, and being able to use it in different situations is also an advantage.CORE's multi-entry system is also very suitable for powder riding.Even if it gets buried in powder, the strap can be removed, making it easy to escape.Another feature of SP Bindings is that the base plate is thin and you can easily feel the snow surface, and it is also very effective in powder riding.
QXNUMX: The thin base plate makes it easy to feel the snow surface, which is quite attractive for powder runs!
Also, as you said at the beginning, if the big kicker is also OK, it seems that it will be really useful as a multi-purpose binding! !
Finally, please give a word of recommendation to users who are still undecided about choosing bindings for this season♪
Hyodo: I think it's a really versatile binding.The base plate is thin, so you can feel the snow surface firmly under your feet, and the aluminum base makes the toe and heel very responsive.
In addition, since there is no heel cup, the range of motion from the nose to the tail is very wide, making it easy to style.I think that the CORE, which can be used stably in both the low speed range and the high speed range, is perfect for my riding style.
SP Bindings are bindings that people who are addicted to them will fall in love with.
I was fascinated by such bindings w
When I used it for the first time, I was like, “Wow!
I remember slipping.
Since then I can't think of anything other than this binding.
Anyway, please try to pick it up once.First of all, you will be surprised at how light it is.
Then come to the test drive event and try it out.Try it first!
