Anyone got any idea why Eric Pollard still rides frame bindings?

He rides some custom boots that he makes due to a previous injury and they don't have tech inserts, so he is stuck with frames or daymakers. @DAYMAKER_TOURING get EP some daymakers!

He's skiing pins in this shot from Drawn From Here - I noticed cause he's usually in frames.

With all his custom boot work it seems like he could put custom inserts in the toe lug like CAST does.

at least in the drawn from here book there’s a really big photo of a modded pair of tecnica cochise 130 boot with inserts. it could be that he still prefers the other boot without a walk mode for support.

2020 and ppl are still hating on frame bindings smh. Let the man ride what works. I personally love me some predictable DIN settings in the backcountry.

A lot of the time you see him touring it's just pre-season resort at Mt Hood Meadows. He's not doing serious vert.

Frame bindings kinda cozy tbh, not tryna hit any ski-mo speed records or AK summits, but they're the best if you're just vibing and spending time in nature and wanna wear comfy boots while you kick through easier terrain
