Aluminum for a reason; the perfect balance of minimal weight, quick response and unmatched durability. Something is only as good as the foundation on which it is built. Since its inception, and to this day, Ride Bindings are constructed with aluminum to provide the best blend of lightweight durability. In fact, we’re so confident in the durability of our aluminum designs that Ride offers a Limited LIFETIME Warranty against bending or breakage of our Baseplates and Heelcups.* And don't forget, not only are the heelcups and baseplates made from an estimated 50% recycled aluminum, but they are fully recyclable themselves. *See www.ridesnowboards.com/support for complete warranty details and limitations

The entire Armada team has been busy this past year travelling, shredding and filming, so we decided to treat you all with a little mid-season surprise.<br/><br/> After weeding through everyones footage, we mashed up the best shots we could get our hands on, added some tunes and are now bringing you the ARMADA Team Edit 2010. <br/><br/> Enjoy.

In our latest installment of Deeper, Jeremy Jones, Travis Rice, Johan Olofsson, Jonaven Moore, and Tom Burt head in into the wilds of Alaska. They wanted to go past heli boundaries, find new terrain, and call the backcountry of Alaska home for a few weeks. See where they end up.

The Swatch TTR Burton Canadian Open (“CANO”) is coming back to WinSport Canada's Canada Olympic Park on February 1-7, 2010. Join riders from around the world in competing in world class halfpipe and slopestyle courses and for a $50,000 cash purse. The third stop in the Burton Global Open Series, the CANO will be a crucial stop for riders looking to accumulate BGOS points. This is even more important this year, because the top 3 men and women BGOS riders will be awarded major cash for their hard work (like $50k for 1st, $30k for 2nd and $20k for 3rd). The CANO is also proud to be a 5Star TTR event….just another reason to get out there and compete. All riders that compete will earn TTR points, but the top male and female rider will walk away from the CANO with 800 TTR points and a chance at the TTR Championship title.

Riley sent us this little edit the other day, along with some words: "It's my POV footage from my trip with all my buddies from vernon to Monashee Powder Snowcats out of Cherryville, BC. It all went down over new years and these are a few shots." Guess that's all you need to know... good friends and some epic pow. Works for me.
