Have multiple days on this binding now. After 32 seasons on a board I've finally found the binding I've always wanted. It's amazing how far the tech has come. Perfect amount of board feel, playfulness, lateral flex, and ability to drive power to the edges. And that ankle strap is insanely comfortable. Just bring back the yellow color way please!
You guys are so cool. Next time my falcor ones break again, I'll contact you guys! Thank you for caring about your products and the customers who use it. @UnionBindingCo
Has Union finally sovled the everlasting problem of the heelcup sliding backwards after a couple of runs? If so: I am interested. If not: not so much ..
How’s the foot bed padding, more specifically the heel area? Tried the strata last season and was surprised to find they really beat you up by end of day. footbed looks all soft and comfortable but then when you press down in the heel you can feel there’s only like 2mm of rubber and then hard plastic right underneath driving shock right into your quads on heel side chop.
@@Jfromes1 is there a point you're trying to make? You could distill just about anything down to "it's ____ made in __". In this case, it's forged carbon, aluminum, nylon fiber, and rubber made in Italy so that you can attach your feet to a piece of wood and fiberglass sliding down a tectonic plate uplift from millions of years ago for fun. That's is pretty dope.
The new Falcor uses Envalior Durethan Blue which is a bio-based, mass balanced nylon. Yes, more "fancy" than typical plastics found on bindings. You're welcome.
"the falcor has two ideal riders, the beginner and intermediate because its flexy but also the veteran" honestly all these companies nowadays say the same thing, that their binding or board or boot is for literally everyone from first day ever on snow to seasoned pro cause they want sales to go up. They literally want noobs to make the mistake of buying a product suited for an expert. I mean why can you not just say falcor is for intermediate and up, and the ultra or Flite is for beginners.
That's just how Travis sees it. We do recommend this binding for intermediate to advanced riders. " This high-performance freeride/freestyle snowboard binding is designed specifically for Travis’ aggressive riding style and is ready to take on the biggest lines and the steepest spines."
Wow, can you be anymore closeminded? Weird how NBA player’s pro model shoes are sold to everydaypeople who are beginner players and it makes no difference. The flex of these is great investment if you have the money instead of buying lower model bindings.

I recently purchased this binding in teal color. Extremely comfortable.
Stoked for you to get them on snow!
Take my money!
Hope they fixed the toe buckle. Went thru 3 of them last season.
Toe buckles have been upgraded. Thicker aluminum base with better threading.
@@UnionBindingCo Any chance you would like to send me a couple upgraded toe straps and buckles?
Boarding starts soon here in Utah.

Shitttttttt, homies got that moneyyyy
Insane combo!
Is it good as park binding, i like the looks?😂
I don't see these on the website...or are the regular Falcors the same thing?

Yes, all new Union's come with our "Astro" washer to prevent the heelcup from sliding. Small detail that can be found inside the washer and heelcup.

You should check out the Union Ultra. Full padding under the heels and toes. Zero plastic.
…so, what’s your thesis statement again? 😂
It’s fancy plastic made in China! Dope!
You just described all bindings.
Ok and your board and outerwear is made from oil via wars in the Middle east… whats your point.

This is carbon fibre level BS.
I hate that I want this binding based on the performance of it because the marketing is so down your throat.
