I've never seen this brand... interesting mix between several old school designs... how old are they? Ok, now I get it. Yes, like a "Snow Pro" perhaps? They are likely 7 or 8 years old would be my guess? Pretty burly for a Jr Plate. Unfortunately not "3D" compatable by the looks of it. Allot of the little alpine gear is still Burton.

Thor VonRippington Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 The only other swivel base plate I've seen like that is Fin's I recall a set of Rad Air bindings that had the crank adjustment for the bails too (late '80s)... but also had built in cant adjustment as well. Later Burton used a similar crank system before they went to the "curent" style for their race plates. I think my LoFo binders had the cranks as well... but now we're getting into the '90s. It seemed like designers at that time were thinking: "simple adjustments for rental fleets" Those Drakes are definitely beefy... espeacially for a Jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing back some memories now! LoFo are too cool (as in Funky) Some day I will get time to do the alpine binding gallery up right. First I have to get better at taking high quality photos so I don't have to do it over again each time I get better. It is pretty funny to look back at the first photos I took for the original OSB. Not cropped, not solid background, low res, over tagged , etc, etc. Some day I want to take photos like Scott F, Scott T and Jack M . Need a nice studio of some kind. Dreaming now.
