I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Mercury Snowboard Binding - 2022

Description

Why We Love The Mercury Snowboard Binding

The Jones Mercury Snowboard Binding is the perfect choice for all-mountain riders who want to excel in freeriding and surf slashing while still being able to hone their freestyle skills. The innovative Skatetech feature ensures fluid energy transfer and instant response, providing an incredible riding experience. Meanwhile, the Control Flex highback has been refined to enhance these qualities even further. However, what truly sets this binding apart is the ingenious Flip-it ankle straps. These unique straps can be worn higher on the boot in "Freeride Mode" to provide additional support on technical terrains, or flipped upside down in "Surf Mode" for a more loose and flowy feel.
