You guys tired of 2013 yet? Trade show season is upon us, and yup, that means it is time for the 2014 preview thread. This does seem like it keeps getting earlier each year but I have to admit, I am always stoked to see the new gear, no matter when it shows up.

This will come in pieces to keep it manageable.

Lots of new stuff from Flow. The Whole NX2 line is cored out and lighter and yes, the toe strap (on the toe strap models) has been angled for an even wider boot fit range. The Fuse is a whole new line that offers active strap technology with a more flexible base and at a moderately lower price. There are two backless bindings (named Freeballers - yeahhhh!) as well as two new women's Nasty models. Also ABT gets expanded in 2014 with new zones being added underfoot for an ultra-smooth ride.















Tons of new stuff and upgrades this season fro the Flow camp. Some very cool new products and some great tweaks to some existing ones. I will start up a thread in the Bindings forum for all the new binding info but here is a taste.

I hve high hopes for DC next season. The judge (last years) was the only boot I could find that fit me well, but I felt there could be some improvements in quality and technology. These are looking pretty nice, does anyone know the flex of them? I assume if its a T Rice approve boat its for of a freeride style?

Good shit. New binding, the DL. Gets something along the same theory as Burtons Auto Cant, but I'm expecting better. And gets a new pseudo wingback that looks amazing.

The biggest change is also the reason the numbers got dropped from the names. So the TT30 had 30% glass in the frame. The SF45 had 45%. Each size within a model has its own glass content now so the numbers wouldnt make sense. Its something Union has been doing and more brands should probably look into. It makes sense.
