The Next Gen TM Bindings by Launch Snowboards

Created by Jon Callahan

Innovative Snowboard bindings that flip into place when you step-in. Durability, comfort, and performance.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

October Production Update
over 7 years ago – Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 11:22:16 PM

Winter is fast approaching and I know everyone is super excited about getting on snow. At this stage, we are finalizing all the parts for the bindings for production. My ultimate goal was to have everyone on the new bindings as their local resorts open up. With Arapahoe Basin opening today, unfortunately we are unable to hit that mark.  I can promise we will start shipping product out soon so everyone can have a ton of time on their killer new Launch Next Gen TM Bindings when the season really kicks in.

Also, as a special thanks to all of our pre-production supporters, we are only offering the bindings to the public on the Launch website and they will not hit our retailers until Fall 2018. As the exclusive team of Launch Next Gen TM Binding users this season, prepare to be stopped on the slopes by riders asking "Where did you get those amazing bindings?"

As we finish up production, we will certainly be giving you the heads up of the finished product going out and your expected delivery window. Thanks for sitting tight with us and we promise you will be very happy with the finished product. It will definately be worth the wait!

Sincerely, Jon and the Launch Family

September Production Update
over 7 years ago – Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 03:43:07 PM

Now that the lazy days of summer are over and Fall is in the air, I am sure everyone is looking forward to snow falling and getting out on the slopes as soon as possible.  As promised, here is an update for our Kickstarter project that you so graciously helped support.

Since the campaign ended, we here at Launch Snowboards, have been working nonstop to produce the best and most functional snowboard binding possible. After a lot of diligent research and development, we have dialed down manufacturing and are finishing up the molds. We did run into a few things we wanted to tweak in the process in order to make our bindings as tool free and comfortable as possible. Functionality is our number one priority! Those few adjustments took a little extra time to perfect but it hasn’t set our delivery date back thus far.  I am confident everyone will be totally stoked with the finished product!

As we are going through the production process, I will certainly keep you all in the loop as I know each and every one of you are as excited about our Next Gen Bindings as we are!

I want to personally thank you for your support during the campaign and throughout the production process as we strive to produce the best and most innovative binding that has ever hit the market!

We will be sending out another update around the beginning of October. Please feel free to reach out with any questions as we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,Jon and the Launch Family

Once the BackerKit survey is sent out, you will be sent an invitation to the same email address that you used to pledge with on Kickstarter. When you get your survey, click on the "Click Here to Respond!" button and you'll see a page that looks like this:

 

You'll notice a few important details here:

The Pledge Amount is the total amount of money that you contributed on Kickstarter, including shipping fees. The Pledge Level Selected shows the specific reward package you selected.

You'll go through four steps within the survey:

 

1) QUESTIONS

2) ADD-ONS

You'll have the opportunity to purchase additional Launch Snowboards gear in the Add-Ons section. *Add-ons with a board purchase will ship immediately* Otherwise, add-on items will ship in the fall with the bindings. Did we mention we're offering FREE Shipping for all add-ons? You won't want to miss out on these deals!

THANK YOU!

Hey Launch Snowboards backers,

Thank you so much for your support!

We truly couldn't have done it without you.

So, what happens next?

Here's a quick look into how the next couple weeks will pan out.

Two Week Window

Kickstarter has a 2 week window after the campaign ends where they hold all funds from the campaign. For us, this means April 6th, 2 weeks after our end date of March 23rd.

At the end of this window, Kickstarter will charge us their fee and payment processing fees and wire the remaining funds to us, following a 1-2 day holding period.

For those that had their credit cards rejected, please correct your credit card information within Kickstarter as soon as possible. If it remains uncorrected, I won't be able to send out your Launch Snowboards packages.

After this two week window, I will be posting a detailed update about the Post-campaign surveys I will be sending you. These surveys will allow you to confirm your order details and provide your shipping address, so be on the lookout.

Until then, please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jon

Vinco Fly

Our friends at Vinco Life came up with the Vinco Fly. It essentially helps keep all your travel documents and cards in one place and even has an app so you can track it from your smartphone. Inside, it holds pretty much everything you need to travel (inc. any currency) and has RFID protection so no one can wirelessly read your passport.
