This is definitely worthy of discussion:



In particular, the angled ratchets/straps and unique ankle strap (2014 Genesis), and the ‘noback’ attachment.

Pic doesn’t work for me? anyone else see it?

nope, I can’t see it either. Anyways, it’s basically a high tech looking ankle strap but I’m not interested. I’m happy with regular burton superstraps and even happier with react straps.
I had the genesis this year and yeah, they’re pretty neat, but nothing that will make me ride better

Ya the ankle strap doesn’t look comfy at all.

Not sure whats going on down at the Burton Tech dept (Marketing Dept?). No highbacks has been done before, and sucked then… The diagonal gear teeth offer more surface area, and therefore more strength… I guess, but it would negligible.

I’d assume the noback aspect is a reaction to the favourable reviews NOW bindings have been getting.

I thought that fad was over already…
