I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Force Snowboard Binding - 2023

Description

Why We Love the Union Force Snowboard Binding

The Union Force Snowboard Binding is our top choice due to its exceptional ability to conquer any terrain with complete control. Unlike other all-mountain bindings, the Force has a stiffer flex, enabling remarkable performance on steep slopes and high-speed rides that would overwhelm other bindings. Built with the reliable Duraflex material in the highback and baseplate, it delivers lightweight and durable performance just like the rest of Union's lineup.

Key Features:

  • Do-anything ATV binding with a legendary reputation
  • Mid-stiff flex for greater support and powerful turns
  • Duraflex composition provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
  • Thermoformed bushing system reduces impact force
  • ExoFrame 4.0 ankle strap offers secure and rapid response
  • Rhombus 2.0 toe strap with adjustable positions for a perfect fit
  • Canted footbeds for natural comfort and enhanced performance
