<strong>LAS VEGAS</strong>—Learning how to snowboard took me two days of pain and crashes, multicolored bruises blossoming on both knees. It’s not a hard sport to pick up, but I kept wanting to put my weight on my back foot, leaning slightly uphill (you know, away from the direction I didn’t want to fall) instead of on my front foot, which is what you’re supposed to do so you can initiate turns with that back foot.</p><p>
If only I’d had the
XON Snow–1 bindings at the time.</p><figure class="large ">

Debuting at International CES, Japanese company Cerevo’s smart snowboard bindings feature four load sensors under your feet to measure your balance, as well as bend sensors you can stick to the head and tail of your board to measure its flex. The data from those sensors, along with an accelerometer, is sent to an iOS and Android app over Bluetooth, and you can see real-time data in the app.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2865824/bluetooth-in-your-snowboard-bindings-meet-the-xon-snow-1.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
