‎2012-2013 Union Contact Bindings

Press Release
In Seattle, WA (Jan 26, 2012) Union Binding Company is proud to announce the addition of The Art Of Flight mastermind and 2012 Snowboarder Magazine Rider of the Year Travis Rice to the Union Binding team.

One of the most pivotal riders in existence, T.Rice is known for executing impossible tricks in impossible situations and generally just thinking big—both on and off the board. In the past decade, he has diligently brought real freestyle to serious backcountry lines. Rice has driven large-scale concept films like That’s It, That’s All, The Art Of Flight and Supernatural—exposing his own talent and snowboarding as a whole on a bigger stage than ever before. Travis brings envelope-pushing talent and career-defining ingenuity to the Union Binding Family.

Says Rice about the deal, “It’s amazing what Union has been able to achieve in the past eight years. More than just making the best bindings on the market, they have created a successful business with family values. I’m very proud and honored to join the incredible Union team.”

When the creator was asked how did he come up with the idea for the the MXB Moto and MXB Shocker, he replied, “It was just like breeding rabid, yet beautiful dogs… you find the characteristics you desire in the animal and you let nature take its filthy course.”  Okay, he didn’t actually say that.

Actually the Motocrosboards are the brain child of Andy Keel, “It’s a combination of a snowboard and motorcycling.” Andy built the some of the first prototypes in is garage in hopes of finding that same wonderful sensation on dirt as you get when your snowboarding.  “This is as close as you can get to the sensation without the slopes.” – says Andy

If the lack of snow is getting you down these boards just might be your ticket happiness! that is if you have an extra $2500 laying around.

New to the Motocrossboard industry are the NitroBoards. Unlike their two-wheel cousins the Nitroboard is more of an all around board with twice the stability due to extra wheels.

Its time for another Hump Day Giveaway!  As you may know Volcom does not sell snowboards to the public and you will probably never see one, unless you know a Volcom team rider or win this one.
