is more simple........pro dont use it because step on make you ride a worst.........if you already suck you dont gonna feel the difference XD. and sorry but all the real snowboarder thing step on are for tourist XD

the real problem back in the old days was the boots and binding combo.

An actual great review.

Can you answer me please😢 in your personal opinion wich boots you prefer between ruler or swath? Pleasee

Broo in your personal opinion wich model you prefer? The ruler or the swath boots?

I still have my 70's swallow tail with the metal skag. It is absolutely the best powder board. the stand up top nipples are huge.

I’ve read a lot of reviews saying the regular photons get soft after they break in. I want a boot that I can wear both in and out of the park that will last me several seasons. Do you think the flex in these will hold up, or would it be safer to go with the regular photons?

If there is thread lock on something reapply. Wait 24 hours before moving the bindings after application for it to dry.

Im just about to but photon boots ans gen 1 step ins for £300 uk still with tags on, feel like im getting a bargain but just checking its worth it for gen 1?

I was look to buy a set of photon boots and gen 1 bindings for £300 uk never been used and still with tag on!! I feel like im getting a bargin just checking it’s worth it for the gen 1?

that’s awesome well said good info

Hi. Good video👍👍👍 but a question..... I have step on v2 but in France I don't find this toe hook!!!! Have you a link to buy it for my v2 please? Thanksssss🙏🙏👍

How was the Hometown Hero in that kind of powder? Wondering if I should bring that along next winter as my second board.

I love your video, we are planning a two week trip to Japan. Living in California we get a lot of deep powder and I found the step in bindings almost impossible to get out of in really deep powder (we get a lot of this in the Sierra's). Here is my hack for the problem incase you want to share with your subscribers. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtiZnbqGyLSsmYk.html

Do you ever click your second foot in, on the lift? So that you can just take off?

Where’s the purps dude? Need tha purps🎆

I’m 68 and these bindings on a Hometown Hero is going to be my last snowboard purchase. I have a 3-D Fish with 2020 Step Ons for Pow.

where did you get the mountain wood picture behind you

Hey I'm wondering if you are still trying to find a Skeeboggen

Hey guys. How can i buy the high back? I lost both of mine 😢😢

dope fit. I want it!

"I love the cartel" haha

Hey man, how much far back was your stance on your HTH for japow? Or were you able to ride ref stance without having to burn your back leg?

My short T-Rex arms thank you!!!!!

Hello. I got a pair of loback from a friend of mine but i d like to try them with the highback too. Is there a way of getting the highbacks? Thx

Dam sweet flowerpot the condition is nuts...I just got an og johnny b and from what I can find it's was 92' the same year as the flowerpot is that correct?

Before buying, search for "stepons feet pain" in google, you will be surprised how shitty is burton as a company.

Hey Jimmy, I'm an all mountain freestyle rider and I spend a lot of time in the park. I'm thinking of making the switch to step ons. I'm gonna go with the lobacks when they're available again and the Swath boots. I love a more free and playful setup so this seems like the best choice. I've read a ton of reviews on the Swath Step On boots and most people go up half a size. I'd prefer to go true to size but I do have an E width foot and I'm worried the boots will be too tight and cause pain. Unfortunately I don't live near any shops and have to order online. What's your experience with the Swath boot as far as sizing and how it packs out?

Just took off my high back and rode all day. Amazing. So glad I found your video.

I have the 2024 Photon Soft Step On with the new metal pants clip. After 2 weeks, the metal on the left side simply broke through due to material fatigue.

Same for me, this was my very fist snowboard. It was nice to see you ride it. The biggest nostalgia for me was the point of view of the rider getting on the chairlift. It brought me back into a time bubble and I could re-live the feelings I had when I was riding it myself. Thank you for that.

I’ve been stressing thanks. Good to know my foot I have an issue with will just go in anyway

Hey great video, I think the only one on KZfaq on this particular board. The story behind it is exactly like you’ve said. The only thing I don’t know is how many of the mystery airs were produced and how long did they sell the black one as both of the shown boards are the same years model. I own one black mystery (bought around Y2k on polish ebay for about 20 bucks) and two ketchup mustard. The black one is pretty same condition as yours, the other two dedenitely worse. The other cool fact is that mine mystery air was made in austria, and the ones made in Europe did not have a blue triangle in the middle.

How you liking this? Ive made the switch from reg bindings to step on. And saw this option too. Where would you use this?

Great video!!!! The burton "woody" performer was my first board ever back in the mid to late 80's and then got the Safari comp III which if I remember correctly was a 175. Absolute missle!!!!!

love the cameo from your dog 😂

I'm really torn on what style to get? It will be my first binding purchase ever.

If you like this kind of stuff try the Sims Solo, modern version of this deck with a pretty crazy sidecut

Great vid! I just pulled out my Cruise 165 from its case and had both bindings break to pieces in my hands. I wanted to ask which of the binding adapters you mention in the comments (Shred Bone and FB Vintage Snowboard plate) allow for stance width adjustment. Have you tried both?

Agree with your comments. I have been riding step on in niseko for many years without any issues. Had also a back country guided tour in snow shoes in deep pow with the step ons.

They had low backs in the 90’s

Two recommendations I would make is: 1) to use stomp pads by both bindings (even if you're riding directional, see #2) , 2) to use stomp pads with spikes (crab grab shark teeth for example) to help avoid snow getting into my binding bed to begin with. I almost never have issues clipping as I've gotten into the habit of using those spiky stomp pads to clean the bottom of my boots before trying to step in. I can do the whole lift my high-back, wipe binding bed, step-in, go in under a few seconds so it's easy to keep up with all my skier friends. I have been experimenting with the PowerRide inserts this season for stiffer/more support around the ankle on the step-on boots. They seem to stiffen up the boot quite well and makes my board even more responsive, and its seemed to help with my ankle pain as well. Might be worth looking into, especially for those who love to carve.

going to japow in a week! brining my step ons can’t wsit

Well, I am sold. I think the 2024/2025 I will be testing the burton step ins.

The doogggg 😭😭

I am for the step on but here is my experience. I tried them on a 8/10 stiff and wide board. Jones 163w. The step ons are too soft. I put regular strap bindings (stiff side) on the jones board and it unlocked it. Step ons on a medium to soft board were fantastic. 28 years of riding experience so it might just be my preference. I love the ease and response but moving around a stiff, wide and long stick…. Not the best. I bet some stiffer boots would be best.

Hey Mate, looks like a trip of a life time. I'm heading to Rusutsu in 2 weeks. Was your trip organised through a Snow travel company or did you organise guides when you got there? Can I ask where you were? Great video!

I just left vail and the amount of steps on I saw on the hill were crazy. It was like every 3rd rider was on steps riding a Weston

I have yr 2 steps and just got this yrs genesis steps. Work great. Have both steps and regular but the longer I have them the less i use the strap bindings.
