The CZY Cluster kids finally dropped their new edit and we were stoked to see what our favorite new video gang could do outside of the park.

FeaturedBurton’s New Step On System Media Days in Laax
Our Laax Open hangover had just begun to subside when we got summoned back Europe’s snowboard mecca for the unveiling of Burton’s new “Step On” binding system. “Step Ins” were hot shit about 20 years ago but have been completely out of fashion in recent history, so it’s no surprise that the Big B chose […]
