Yo, this is The House Snowboard Shop. I'm Matt Guff, and this is the Burton Mission
Snowboard Binding. This baby does it all. It's a little bit stiffer. It has a response
rating of a 5 and a lot of really cool features that will make you want to do anything you
want. So if you're the overall mountain rider that likes to cruise top to bottom and hit
the gondola, this could be a binding for you. If you're the kid that is advancing more quickly
than your friends, this is the binding for you. If you're the kid that is working on
cab double 12s, that's right, this could be the binding for you.
The base plate is made out of a single component: 30% short glass nylon composite. This frame
is the same material that the high back's made out of as well. It does have a canted
system, which means that the left binding and the right binding are going to have a
little bit of a different shape, as you see. Which helps you bend and flex over the top
of your nose and tail a little bit easier. It also does have the Living Hinge forward
lean adjustment system. With a little twist of a dial, you can change the forward lean
on its hinge system. When I was a kid, you used to have to order Team Skybacks, and these
things actually come with them right out of a box because we're lucky nowadays. I used
to have to wait weeks for these things.
Now, the straps are pretty interesting. These are called the super straps. You can change
these things around if you'd like. They do have 3D moldable, curved, triple access spines,
so they're going to remember the shape. They're not going to flop around a bunch when you're
out of your bindings, which is great. The toe straps are called the Primo straps. Burton
uses pretty much all Primo straps on all of their bindings, except for some of the bindings.
But for the most part, they use the Primo capstrap on all their bindings. They hold
well and they lock your heel cup in your heel. That's right. The buckles are flat, black,
painted, aluminum straps or buckles with polycarbonate interiors. The liners work well. They're very,
very big. It's easy to tighten the binding, and it's easy to loosen your bindings as well.
What's greatest about these bindings, besides they look cool and respond well when you lean,
is that they are sustainable. They're just chosen to be a little bit eco-friendly, and
they have used pre-ground materials in their base plates and in their high backs to reduce
waste.
The gas pedals are great. You can adjust them out, and you can adjust them in. The Mission
bindings also have a full bed cushioning system. Pretty much from your toes to your heels,
you're going to have some good cushioning. Cool [colors]. Response rating of above a
5. This is Burton Mission."
