And there&#8217;s nothing new here:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Anyone who has ever gotten on or off a chairlift with a snowboard knows how uncomfortable it can be. Simply getting on and off requires painful bending of the knees and ankles in directions they were never meant to bend! . . Our state of the art bindings allow the board to rotate around the front foot by the simple tug of a cord. The Rotary Snowboard Bindings are extremely simple and safe to use while making your way to the next ski lift.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Michael Fultz<\/strong>, of San Diego, California, hopes to raise $100,000 for the project. With 28 days to go he&#8217;s got close to $3,000. We&#8217;re guessing he won&#8217;t reach his goal, but that&#8217;s probably best for everyone involved. Because seriously, we&#8217;ll say this again, &#8220;No one who snowboards wants a rotating binding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/365311850\/revolutionary-snowboard-bindings-from-rotary\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we didn&#8217;t see any rotary bindings during our cruise of the 2013 SIA Snow Show in Denver (we&#8217;re sure they were there, they always are) we are glad to see that the ubiquitously useless innovation is not yet dead.
