SB1 has a good variety…

SB1 is a decent film, but I think some of the others are better. As far as the riding shown goes, there is a good bit of variety. You get to see everything from park to pipe to backcountry with some very good riders like Mike Nick and Neal Lyons.

Other aspects of it are not so appealing to me. I’m not a fan of the parts that are more “sophmoric” in nature and remind me more of a college video on YouTube. However, the good riding basically outways that.

Overall it’s not bad, but I think some of the others like SB2 and White Dwarf are better.

Blacktape has some impressive carving and air tricks, but not much more….

This movie is an older VHS skiboarding video released by Canon in association with skiboards.com. This video features some impressive air tricks and some great carving, but not much more. The sound/music is relatively bad and the picture is also pretty bad. While a piece of skiboarding history, this skiboarding video definently isnt a MUST WATCH.

White Dwarf is a personal favorite…

This movie is a great skiboarding flick to watch and my personal favorite. I watch this badboy all the time because of its kickin soundtrack and amazing riding. Ethan Mitchell goes huge, but Ben Wannamaker/Adam Lynams sections are unreal. The editing is great, the music is great, and the riders are great…what else can you want. This movie is another must have for skiboarders out there.

White Dwarf has some great big air shots…

Great movie, amazing editing, music and some great riding. This movie shows the progression of skiboarding and what where skiboards excel, on rails and boxes. There are also some great big air shots from the riders especially Ethen Mitchell and his famous fakie misty flip.

Extreme II bindings held up to lots of abuse…

My friend picked up these bindings along with a pair of 90cm Snowjam boards around 2004. He was around 200 lbs and rode them very hard for a long time, after that I rode them for several years. They held up very, very well against both our riding. They seemed somewhat heavy but were very strong. After several years of abuse they started to slightly strip in some areas. They’re still usable 6 years later. The Snowjam boards that came along with the bindings lasted less than a year after my friend cracked the base of one of them.

Extreme II bindings didn’t hold tight…

This was my first non-release binding. At first it was fine, because I had nothing else to compare.

When I was coming down the hill, I just fell. Didn’t know what was the problem. Next thing I noticed was that one of my skiboards was gone. Back then I didn’t have a leash so I had to spend a good hour finding my skiboard. Binding came loose while riding. I had to make sure it was all tight before riding. After that, I got another pair of bindings (Bomber Elite 2) and I could totally tell the difference between these two bindings.

The Extreme II binding was out of my sight. I don’t think it is was very good for hard-carving, ice riders. or in the park…

I don’t feel like it was holding as tight as the Elite 2s.

Extreme II offers good price, but one issue…

Okay so I’ve ridden these bindings very hard about 8 or 9 days this season, and overall I’m fairly pleased. I really like the metal that Snowjam made them with because it makes them feel extremely sturdy which they are. The only thing I don’t like is how they are mounted onto the skiboard itself. In the center of the binding they have like a crossing V thing going on. On the end of each V is 2 screws, and that’s how the binding is mounted. Ive been having problems with one of my bindings. After about 3 or 4 runs, I would have to tighten my left binding because it constantly kept wiggling loose. After a while it really started to piss me off. Other than that these bindings are a good first pair of bindings for someone who wants to spend a little less money. From what I hear Bomber Elites are probably the best ever made so next season ill pick up a pair of those.

Extreme II offer great value…

Snowjam Extreme II bindings are a great pair of bindings. At a relatively low price, they provide great value for their dollar. These bindings are all aluminum and have a relatively thin rubber riser. They aren’t the most pretty bindings in the world, but they get the job done. The are easy to adjust, and hold the boot in well. They have also been extremely durable in the time that I have used them, especially in the park.. I have never had a problem with these bindings, except from stripping the nuts.

Snow Jam Quick Adjust bindings do the trick…

The Snow Jam Quick Adjust bindings are a simple yet effective binding for the lighter rider. It’s not intended to be used in the park, rather on groomers by a lighter rider.

The bindings themselves are made of composite plastic and do exactly what they are called, adjust very quickly on the fly. There is a lever both at the toe and heal of the binding, on the bails, that flip up to adjust and back down to lock the bail back into place. This makes it super easy to adjust on the hill if need be. But this also can pose a problem.

If you are riding these bindings hard or in the park, they have a tendency to come lose and release at an undesired time. They also are not made from strong metal material like Line FF Pro’s or Bombers, or even SnowJam’s ExtremeII bindings. This makes it very difficult for the heavier rider to feel comfortable with these strapped to their feet.

I have used these in the past as ‘rental’ bindings for friends who are lighter and want to try out some of my skiboards. I don’t actively use them myself as I am over 6 feet tall and weight over 200lbs.

They are what they are, simple, easy to adjust bindings for lighter riders who aren’t going to be hitting the park.
