I have the 162 and at 6ft 225 lbs I like the way it handles. I've only been out for one spring day so I'll be putting it through the paces next season. I haven't ridden the Horizon so I can't speak to that.

Yep, they sure are. I found them really comfortable for a day of riding.

@@RustySnowboarder Nice! I've picked up myself a pair as well just recently. But mine are the black ones. Awesome channel btw, you have a follower from Hong Kong. Subscribed.

Sweet. Thanks for hanging around and checking things out.

That's no fun. I hope you feel better soon.

Yep, it's all okay.

It's a small detail but it lets you push backwards and lock your foot in position.

Apologies, my bad.

That doesn't sound like much fun.

Thanks for the info. It's good to hear that other people are having a good experience with the boards.

I love it.

It's all good, they can't all be bangers. But thanks for wandering through and hanging out for a few moments.

It is a decision to spend that amount to make your life look pretty darn good.

I hear you, there's definitely extra sweetness with the jam. But jam or jelly it's all the same to me. I love them on their own. But throw in some peanut butter and I can't do it.

Hopefully that was your one time.

I don't remember the details anymore, but I took a jump and wound up in a neck brace for a week or two. That ws no fun.

Thanks.

Thanks

I hadn't heard that yet, but I will say that a good fitting boot is always needed for a day on the slopes. The wrong boot will ruin your day real fast. That being said, Burton has a few boots to choose from and there are a couple other companies making Step On boots too.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to getting many years from them as well.

Thanks for the tip. It's weird that you mention it today because yesterday I noticed that I was releasing with basically a forward push of the foot. Very little to no twist. I wasn't paying any attention to my heel though. I'll try to be a little more aware next time out.

Nice! Getting some time with all of them. A few people have mentioned Nidecker and they sound pretty good. I haven't been able to put my hands on a set yet.

That's some good feedback on the bindings. Thanks for chipping in. I'm glad we have lots of choice these days so we can all get the gear that fits us best.

Fair enough. Straps definitely get the job done as good as anything.

@RustySnowboarder I have been riding a long time, and don't have much time left to re learn. Pray for snow.

More snow would definitely be good this season.

Yeah, they're pretty good in my book. Thanks for watching.

Always happy to see a newcomer to the sport. Hopefully you enjoy it for a long time. The Step On binding is great for ease of use and the Photon boot is very comfortable. From that perspective I think they're worth taking a look at. However they are not cheap. As a beginner it might be better to look at the traditional route and save some money until you're committed to snowboarding on a regular basis.

Buy the Step Ons!

I have to agree. Although, it should be noted they'e only the third boot I've ever owned. But they're pretty darn good so far.

Agreed. It's great to have a steady stream of timestamps in the memory banks.

I'm glad you're having a great experience. Good luck on your continued progression.

Amazing. I hope you enjoy it for a long time. I'm glad I was snowboarding back in the day. I'm not sure if I would start from scratch at my age.

@@RustySnowboarder first few days had me questioning life choices, now it’s nothing but smiles and whoops

I love it! Nothing but smiles and whoops. That's a great line.

Thanks, I think about this a lot.

Always happy to hear from someone who likes them as well.

That doesn't sounds like fun at all. How do you like the Nideckers overall in terms of stability and ease of use? They look interesting but I haven't laid eyes on them yet.

@@RustySnowboarder I haven't had a chance to ride them yet, but all things considered, they look and feel like a well built binding. Very easy to get in and out of. I've ridden Flows for the last 15 years, so they are very familiar.

Thanks, good to know. If I ever see tham I'll be sure to check them out.

I have had 2 seasons on the Nidecker Supermatics so far and love them to death! My favorite part about them is how easy it is to slip into the binding partially as I'm about to get off the chairlift and then as soon as I hit the ground I'm clicked the rest of the way and never have to stop, just continuing on my way down the slopes! No wasted time and I love to do very high speed banked slalom turns and this thing just rips! Awesome bindings! They feel like a traditional binding with the straps and that's also what I like about them. I haven't met anyone yet that can easily get into the Burton Step-Ons when coming right off the lift. If anyone is doing that, please leave me a comment.

I've ridden the Step Ons this whole season. I put my pants into the clips when I put my boots on and they stay in place the rest of the day. I haven't had to think about them more than that.

Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch.

Happy to hear from another person who likes them. They sure do work for me.

@@RustySnowboarder especially wonderful to be able to clip in right on lift dismount, and keep up with your friends who ski!

Yeah, getting going right away is a big plus.

Good to hear. I'm loving them.

It's great to appreciate our time in the outdoors, regardless of sport. More time on the slopes would be great too.

@@RustySnowboarder it’s the great humbling. Makes you realise how worthless status, a fancy job, and money are when you’re so happy just carving down the side of a mountain.

It's about the simple things for sure.

I totally agree. Anything a person can do to improve flexibility, range of motion, and strength is a good thing.

I'm definitely looking forward to a new board. But not yet. In October I told myself that if I got on the slopes enough this season then a new board and bindings would be my reward next fall. However, the first day out was too much for my back and my reduction in flexibility so I caved and bought the Step Ons right away. I'm really glad that I did.

@@RustySnowboarder yea, sound like a nice goal/motivator for you to hit the slopes! ive been forcing myself into a yoga/stretch and diet > strenght and build and it has definetly helped. personally i dont need the step-ons (yet) and im not the biggest fan of burton - and if you get these binding the choice of boots are very limited. And getting the right boots are the most important thing! so im glad youre satisfied with you purchase! ;)

Agreed, I do what I can, but the body just isn't what it used to be. There are a couple other brands that make Step On boots but the options are definitely limited. I was also looking into the Clew bindings since they can be used with any boots. Not cheap either, but an interesting proposition.

@@RustySnowboarder Then im glad you got the burton-step ons! ill admit they definetly seem like the best choice of the step-on options out there. "angry snowboarder" just happened to post "The Clew Freedom 1.0 Snowboard Binding Review" 14 hours ago. I trust his reviews - spot on for all my boards and bindings - I think you dodged the bullet there 😅

Yeah, I saw that today too. Definitely a lot of good info. I also don't buy things without seeing in person so I wasn't all that close to getting them.

That sounds amazing. I've never been on an international snowboarding trip before. I agree about the Sep Ons. I'm loving them and can't see going back.

Thanks. I was hoping everything would be clear and make sense.

That's sweet. I'm hoping to still be going strong at 60. fingers crossed

Thanks dude. I'm glad I did it. I've also accepted that I don't charge after the mountain like I used to. I'm more of a cruiser so far.

@@RustySnowboarder That’s my goal this year. As I push 50 I’m more built for comfort and not speed. My last board was a 93 Craig Kelly if that tells you anything. It’s been a minute. I just want to get on the groomers and make it from the chair to the lodge on the first trip. See how I feel, have a drink and triage the damage.

Sounds like a good strategy to me.
