Posted on April 28, 2009

We are putting a new binding together with our current Ignition II baseplates, built around the Bent Metal Biscuit binder. They have a different graphic.. so we drew up some new art for our baseplates, check em out! We have a few pair of both Black and Red Larges in the store as we speak, Smalls will be coming soon.

Thanks for stoppin’ by!

Yes, you read correctly.. we have a whole batch of Black, Red, and a few Green crampons ready to ship. run right over to the store and buy some.. tell ur friends and grandparents. For those of you that tried to order them lately, sorry for the holdup – we had to tool up our own wires and blocks.

In other news, we also have a new binding high-back color.. Yellow! Free yourself from the all to usual black and express your inner technicolor fascination. Currently we are putting these highbacks on our black and red baseplates.. they are in the store as well, but here’s a couple shots (click em to see a larger one):

At Spark R&D we are pretty excited to know you fellow backcountry riders are digging our bindings, and we really appreciate the positive feedback we get from riders around the world. Recenlty the Spark R&D Ignition II bindings found their way into the hands of a few more big names in the snowboarding world.. the likes of Travis Rice and Tom Burt! Needless to say we are pretty stoked!
