Pint-sized shredders, show yourself. Mini-chargers that leave their chuggernaut dads in their dust, this one’s for you. Nidecker’s Prime bindings may be built with all the proportions of the youth leagues in mind, but be in no doubt that they’re pumped with full-sized performance to help the youngsters of today go from total beginner to conquering lines and podiums, and set them on the path to a bigger, brighter and bolder future in the pow, park and backcountry. Whether it’s a case of just starting out or getting out there, if ever there was a time to unleash that ultimate ‘please buy me this’ guilt trip on a parent, this might be it.
“They’re pumped with full-sized performance to help the youngsters of today go from total beginner to conquering lines and podiums”
Like all the men’s and women’s bindings in Nidecker’s 2021 arsenal, the Prime has been built from the ground up for the new season, and is constructed around the same glass-filled nylon Axis.N1 base that gives adult offerings like the new Muon-X the precision and comfort that progressive-headed riders – big and small – need for an all-day, all-terrain sesh right around the mountain.
Making these even more worthy of a birthday wishlist is the dreamy combination of Nidecker’s new ExoFrame Anklestrap and Hexo Toecap – both hella cool little design upgrades that, thanks to a honeycomb-like form called AuxTech, expand and wrap around the boot to keep it locked in, promote an air of confidence and push for performance like no Nidecker could before them.
What’s more, these two features also throw big but important buzzwords like ‘lightweight’ and ‘comfort’ into the mixer – a proper major consideration when looking for boarding gear that will actually see those expensive kids lessons spent on the snow, rather than in an on-mountain restaurant, with a hot chocolate and 15€ plate of floppy frites in their tiny mitts.
