Bode Merrill is the man. If you need any further convincing (which we hope you don’t) go watch his part in Absinthe Films’ Heavy Mental. You will immediately become a believer. The way that he rides, he needs a setup without any bullshit or gimmicks, a proven solution that is going to perform under the considerable beating he puts his snowboard through. That’s why Salomon Snowboards introduced the Man’s Board and paired it with the Quantum Binding.
While the Man’s Board may not come with a bottle of whiskey and a full grown, this thing is for manly riders looking for a deck that can be pushed to the limit without folding under pressure. Bode wanted a traditional cambered board so the R&D team at Salomon designed a ride that was fast, stable, and perfect for linking turns, throwing down in the backcountry or your home mountain’s jump line. Plus with tigers, gigantic swords, a serious babe, and Game of Thrones-inspired font, in Bode’s words “It’s probly the best graphic ever made.” A bold statement from a bold man.
With ShadowFit technology, the Quantum Binding is built for a responsive ride to complement the strong feel of the Man’s Board. ShadowFit means it features a flexible heelcup that molds to your boot and allows for slight flex in an otherwise snappy board/binding combination. Add in a carbon fiber asymmetrical highback and Kevlar Quickwire and this binding is going to perform when you need it most: While you’re being a fucking man.
