The "Berger 360" snowboard binding from Berger Enterprises, Inc. enables
riders of all skill levels to enjoy the high-performance sport. The "Berger
360" is capable of a 360 degree rotation and on-ride adjustments - which
means snowoarders no longer need to make cumbersome adjustments while in
different areas on the mountain, and can immediately change their stance
position in seconds without using any tools.
Available nationally in specialty snowboard and ski-related retail stores
in July 1997, the "Berger 360TM" is compatible with all boots designed for
the Switch Autolock bindings. Snowboarders now have a way to solve the problem
of awkward adjustments, and more importantly are provided with levels of
rotation unavailable by any other bindings on the market. To date, there
are only a handful of step in binding systems that fill the rapidly expanding
numbers of snowboarders. The "Berger 360" will not only give customers a
choice in boot manufacturers but bindings as well.
Brant Berger, founder of Aptos, California-based Berger Enterprises, developed
the "Berger 360" after watching countless snowboarders struggle with the
limitations of existing step-in bindings. Brant's enthusiasm for the sport
of snowboarding inspired him to create something that would improve the
performance and enjoyment of the sport.
"The Berger 360 opens a whole new world in snowboarding," says Chris Edmands,
professional snowboarder for Arnell Snowboards. "Manually making adjustments
while trying to board is not only time consuming, but also limits the sport.
This binding allows full rotation and can lock in a fixed position with ease,
anywhere on the mountain."
"One of the first things I appreciated was the feeling of total stability,
actually standing directly on the board, and skating is a total breeze."
Karen Sigler, rider for Black & White Snowboards. "I felt the 'Berger
360' Binding improved my riding"
