Details The NOW IPO Snowboard Binding is the one that started it all- the first binding out that showed off the powers of Skate Tech. By using the same principals as a skateboard truck the binding provides more power to your edges as well as taking strain off your legs. Ride longer and get more laps. The IPO has been upgraded this year with a new toe and ankle strap that improves the feel and comfort of this binding.
