Hey,
So thought I'd start this so everyone can post what they've seen for 2008 and find out the rumours going on.

-DC are making snowboards (they are also a shit company, ha!)

-Burton Unincs are bright coloured topsheets with a picture of a different baby animal on each one, no taking the piss! They're also working off a 2 hole slider system.

-Burton are doing baseless bindings, 2 holes one on the outside of each binding and foam underfoot. As wierd as it sounds it's been confirmed as "the shit".

-Capita is realeasing a chicks jib stick. Getting one soon so will let you know how it rides.

-Burton are making Supreme Heats. Chicks Supreme boots with battery heated liner. Nice.

Will post more soon!

Hey wats the deal with two binding holes.......
i thought 3 holes was the genius thing with the theory that a 3 legged stool wont rock but a 4 legged one will..not too many hopes for a two legged stool standin up at all lol
i no they're doin it cas it makes the board lighter but come on its not really that much less weight is it??

I just saw one of those boards and they are epic. Crazy new style of boards that will switch the game up. Gnarly new concept but great too see.

holler, post a dc board, i wana see, dc's dope, their boots are shit but everything else is cool, potential....

Hey Thommo,
You can start your own post and go for gold. The button is "New Topic". So click that and start it up. Good luck.

Union Binding Co. is bringing out a super lite binding for 08.. Lightest binding to date style lite.. Cant say anymore on the subject but its going to be lite and will still boast a lifetime warranty.

Saw the Union range a couple weeks ago, pretty effing cool. And super light. The CF ones are crazy.

Was gonna post something to do with the current topic but was mesmarised by the mullet on thommo.
Nyc Job!!

union force MC bindings are mental! so sick. Anyone got $650 for them? haha

Unions are the shit! Unlike so many bindings that I have tried, Unions are always comfy, always responsive, always simple, and have good adjustments on them.

plus I have not seen any break yet. Good thing.

who gives a shit. play rugby its way doper....

Hell yeah Union is the epitome of bombproofness, but today I had to replace a snapped screw on a pair of Forces a guy bought off the net cheap. First pair I've seen broken, shoulda bought them from his local shop eh! Still stoked as ever on my pair. Can't wait for the new '09 Unions arriving in July..... check these out
