New Aussie Binding Company - Launched Today!
Might need to buy two pairs for that…
You never know, $185 for a set of Strewth bindings could turn out to be the bargain of the century!
They may turn out to be the best bindings ever made!
Oh, wait, hang on a sec! If they did, they’d end up commanding a premium place in the binding market. As such, they’d also command a premium price, and rightly so. Sadly though, there’d always be those who simply lacked the capacity to appreciate the benefits they’d offer. They’d condescendingly attribute Strewth bindings’ success to little more than good marketing - constantly insinuating that users of Strewth bindings were nothing but gullible fools, blindly sucked in by said marketing.
Hmmmmmmmm, now that I think about it, perhaps it’s better that Strewth bindings only turn out to be just a really good binding - “equivalent” to other bindings on the market in both performance and price - so the ignorance can be kept at bay?
Mount them with a GoPro camera and Apple processor and they will have enough haters and lovers to keep them premium.
I just wont know which side of the fence to sit on!

You sparked an idea UncleHulka with the shrunken esky/bbq comment;
Camera mounting on a binding is difficult. It gets a sensational angle check most of the 164 vids I shot in 2009 http://www.youtube.com/user/2009snocam
Binding mounting is the ideal place.
This hasn’t been considered by any binding co. We should talk - I have simple ideas easily implemented and the worlds most r&d in this area.
(pretentiousness aside 
) Azz and the Tambazz crew are honest good people and Wildman shreds (and potentially worth locking in as a sponsored athlete). A set in their hands will be well used but by the sounds of it; hard use is not your goal ATM.
Raising funds is!
Retail is $295 (minus esky/bbq) So it’s a massive saving and it includes free shipping!
Get behind it BWM $185 is dirt cheap for bindings.
Can someone explain 1:30 of the video? The graphic kinda contradicts what he is trying to explain.
The price is nice, but it has to have the performance to back it up right?. Otherwise, we’d all be riding $150 Aldi snowboards.
Mad props to someone trying to do something innovative though. Even more so that they are Australian.
Shame that those who have put down the $185 won’t get them in time for the AU winter.
Is this what you are asking about?
I think what it is saying, is even though the “Flow” style binding leans back more, the Strewth binding opens up from a higher point so the snow on the ground doesnt get in the way of it opening up. when standing on a slope or deeper snow it can still open all the way. Is that what you were asking?
Maybe UncleHulka can explain better
I think the advantage that’s bein said, is that other rear entry binders like FLOW open too much!!!!!
This leads to it “catching” in the snow surface!!!!! Especially when there’s an incline to the rear of the binding/heel edge of the board!!!!!
I trip over the high back on Flows when skating. 
make me look like more of a clown in the lift line 
That’s probably the #1 reason that I’m not a big fan of rear entry bindings!!!!!
Although you probably would get used to it?????
Hi guys. Good question. SnatchCrewSader is correct!
The big pain we have found with Flows is the need to have the highback open flat to get in. This is fine when getting off the lift on flat & hard packed ground, but if you’re trying to get in on anything other than flat ground it is a huge pain in the arse. This includes when there’s some powder, again you can’t lay the highback flat enough to get in. You need even more clearance to pivot the cable lever on the highback which makes the problem even worse.
If you have a look on Flows own videos they recommend facing the hill and getting onto your knees in these situations.
We’ve 1) attached the highback higher on the binding, 2)made the highback open less, and 3) removed the need for a cable locking lever on the highback. Then we’ve made the strap lift to create more room. This means you don’t need to be on flat hard packed ground to get in easily. It works just as well on steeps or in powder, and you get the quick “hands free” step-in functionality.
What we’ve ended up with is more of a “top entry” binding than a rear entry.
The aim of the design was to have a binding that works everywhere all the time, which is one of our main complaints with the current offerings, and brings back the old step-in functionality, without compromising performance or comfort/feel.
Hope that clears it up. Cheers
The “tripping over the highback” and snagging it on lifline poles etc was another issue we didn’t like
The Flows etc all have a one piece highback, so you can’t really fold them up when skating. It’ll just drop back down.
Our’s has a standard two piece heelcup & highback setup. ie they’re seperate and can move independently. The highback can be folded over out of the way while the binding is still “open”, which can’t be done with the other systems. You can then just flick it open with your toe when ready to get back in.
Ahhh, cool!!!!!
Was that in the Vid?????
Not the last point, no. So much going on kind of forgot that one. Might have to update the video….
Yeah, I think that might be a major point of difference that could sway ex FLOW users, to give this a go?????
I trip over the high back on Flows when skating.
being short I would have this problem.. But I simply stand my high back upright before skating.. (I don’t do it up.. Altho some times I do as its all one motion.. Takes 0.5secs, and I don’t trip..)
