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.

Description

Why We Like The Karakoram Prime-X Binding

Experience lightweight, high-performance riding like never before with the Karakoram Prime-X Binding. Designed for those who want to ride harder and faster, it is packed with features to enhance your snowboarding experience. The Reactive highback offers optimal strength-to-weight ratio and a medium flex for superior lateral support. The Open Binding chassis provides unmatched response and board feel with its stiff flex. The X-Type Heelcup with high sidewalls delivers excellent support and power transfer, especially during side-hilling. Crafted from 7000-series Space-Grade aluminum, this heelcup is incredibly strong and lightweight. Thanks to its core design, it ensures featherweight performance.

What sets the Prime-X apart is the Dual Ride-Stride forward lean that allows you to quickly switch between Ride and Walk modes by simply turning the forward lean adjuster. The Prime Interface is built without any moving parts, eliminating the risk of losing components in the snow.
