Don’t do it man. Keep your shred manhood intact.

I'm not teaching anymore but having step ons working full bore as an instructor would be a godsend.

I always have one eye on step on. A friend who was pro always encourages me. but there are some things that are a barrier with step ons…
1/ the incredible skate tech ride. I don't want to leave there
2/ too many years with loose ankle problems in the B boots. but no problem with the vans (except two pressure points... but that's another thing)
3/ I don't value the three seconds I lose tying my back foot...

And then the other systems don't appeal to me... a friend of mine has supermatic but i was still able to try... it's true that this year I've seen quite a few step ons... and there is a trend... I do find them interesting to teach... to students, children...

The only thing that bothers me in a traditional binding is the straps when I step on them... I take out the boot. kick and issue solved… 🚀

I'm 68 and still no StepOns. I can still touch my toes so I'm good.
