I know this should probably be in AT&BC but everyone should see this. Sammy went absolutely ham in the BC but if thats not good marketing for a tech binding, idk what is.

cydwhitKingpins and MTN Labs.
Nice little reminder to me to not make excuses about my gear, because that was freaking savage.
gapersarefriendsI think cody townsend posted on his instagram that the only boot he used last year was the mtn lab, and he rips too.
Sammy is too good though
cydwhitYeah, I mean Cody has been banging the MTN lab drum for a long time, but it's really cool to see a super jiby skier on that setup.
PmooreI am pretty sure the knock on kingpins is they break, not that they don't work while they are intact.
While Sammy murdering on them is dope, you don't know how many pairs he went through in a season.. Multiple pairs of tech bindings a season isn't really in the budget for people that buy their gear. And maybe I am wrong, and Sammy broke none, but I would be surprised.
Also he always has a sled and or Heli to get out of zones if they do break, a luxury not many people have.
Just something to keep in mind.
loganimlachI never broke mine but I did walk out of them a couple times (i'm 185lbs compared to sammy, who is probably 135lbs). As far as I know he didn't break either of the two pairs he had. I only had mine at 10, but would trust them fully cranked to 13.
Also, most of the areas he was in he didn't have a sled or heli to get out, that is just a ludicrous statement haha. He's sammy, not bill gates.
