Will My Old Bindings Work With the New Burton ICS Boards?
Posted in How to Snowboard, Questions, Snowboarding Gear by Rami
Burton Custom ICS 2010
Ever since Burton introduced the Infinite Channel System – ICS (not sure why it’s called infinite… flexible would have been a better word) – many riders have been confused about whether they can fit older bindings on the new ICS boards. The short answer is yes! New Burton boards come with an adapter that fits in the ICS slot to which you can screw your old bindings to. But if you’re going to shell out for a new Burton board, you might as well buy their new EST bindings to get the full benefit of the ICS design.
A lot of people will argue that this is Burton’s way of making you buy new bindings, and while I’m not a 100% sure if they could have fitted the adapter to give older bindings the benefit of the new ICS design, it’s still a useful feature. In case you don’t know, the ICS design lets you easily (a matter of loosening up two screws) move the bindings along the board. With traditional systems you are bound by fixed positions on the board and on the plates. With ICS you can move the bindings fractionally in all directions to achieve your perfect stance width and foot position.

I agree… you might as well just buy the new bindings, because the ICS design is actually pretty cool.
