POTW // Bent Metal Solution Binding

The Bent Metal Binding Works (BMBW) team was no stroke of luck but a calculated decision to produce bindings no other company would make, to suit some of the hardest and burliest riders in the game. Spearheaded by rat tail legend and artist, Jamie Lynn, he wanted a binding meant for his aggressive style along with Eric Jackson and Mark Landvik, who number more days in the mountains than most in the industry. Rich in expertise and experience, BMBW partnered with Mervin MFG to construct a Nuclear proof binding, the Solution, for an all mountain savage.

Constructed of lightweight Carbon Fiber, a Solution should last a lifetime in BMBW's eyes, when riders depend on equipment to perform during life or death descents. Last minute turns are risker than a game of Russian Roulette on Ecstasy, yet BMBW has your back in the firm Ergonomic Highback for instantaneous response and control, during the biggest gambles of your life. Everything about gambling is a firm decision and that goes for the drive plate designed with a carbon fiber spread, weaved together to elevate your pop and response.

BMWB went so far to create a Revolutionary Cube made of Urethane, the same material that changed the platform for skateboard wheels, is now opening eyes in snowboarding, that functions as an instantaneous lean adjuster, requiring one simple turn to go from groomers to spines in the AK.

Most bindings won't make it past one season as a result of simple buckle malfunctions and unlike most manufacturers, BMWB will take their word on its durability to the grave. Forged aluminum sounds tough and it is, with a reduced weight yet an increase in amour and fatigue strength, meaning more seasons under its belt. Having gone this far to eliminate all forms of weight and weaknesses, the Solution is topped off with dynamic Imeva foam straps for a molded anchor to lifetime performance.
