Ride Snowboard History
Founded in Redmond, WA in late 1992, Ride hit the market with only four board models and a vision - to create a snowboard company "for the people" built upon technical innovation, superior quality and "selling the dream." With a team of top pro and up-and-coming riders, a strong product line, a zealous ad campaign and quite a bit of hard work, the first few years were a success.
In order to meet the growing demand of snowboard and skateboard-influenced clothing, in 1994, Ride launched an outerwear and streetwear line under the brand name Cappel Clothing. Today, this line has evolved into a far more technical outerwear line, providing a phenomenal fusion of street fashion and snowboard function known today as Ride Snowboards Outerwear. The Cappel series has since made its triumphant return in the 05/06 collection of Ride Outerwear.
Shortly after relocating to Preston, Washington in 1995, Ride launched the Preston brand of snowboard bindings. Ride's proprietary technology made Preston Bindings one of the best-known binding names in the industry. Eventually incorporating the Preston name into the Ride line, today Ride Bindings are the market share leader in aluminum bindings and continually lead the charge of lightweight durability, mobility and response.
In conjunction with the Preston brand, the snowboard boot category for Ride also planted its roots in 1995. From fairly meager beginnings, the Ride Boot program has grown into its own and has become an award-winning collection. With recent graffiti design influences from the likes of CAP, Sever, Dr. Revolt and more, the Ride Boot line garnered awards from both trade and consumer publications and organizations alike. Today, with revolutionary design features such as our In2grated Construction with Body Active Intuition Liners, Ride boots are the lightest weight, shortest-length performance boots on the market, hands down.
Also in 1995, Ride acquired the most respected snowboard manufacturer in the world, Thermal Snowboards Inc. of Corona, California. Later known as Ride Manufacturing, the facility used state-of-the-art computer technology, aerospace engineering, aircraft-grade tooling and other leading-edge techniques to design, test and manufacture the most advanced snowboards on the market. Today, Ride Manufacturing has expanded into a new facility in Asia, doubling its manufacturing space and equipment arsenal. Ride's snowboard program continues to design industry-leading snowboards utilizing its Thermal Construction Technology process and which feature unique performance innovations like Cleave Edges, Slimewalls and Carbon Array power distribution.
In 2000, Ride Snowboards relocated to Vashon Island, Wa. Never straying from our original goal of technical innovation, superior quality and selling the dream," Ride continues to maintain its distinctive brand identity within the snowboarding market. For Ride, it's not about being the biggest ... it's about being the best at what we do and truly becoming a great snowboard company "for the people." Through the passion and dedication of all of Ride's employees and global affiliates, Ride has firmly established itself as a snowboard industry leader.

Highbacks
 Ride pioneered Stance Correct shaping back in 1999 and it has since evolved into 12 unique highback designs, each dialed for specific riding styles and abilities. Stance Correct shaping matches the "cocked and loaded" angle of your natural riding stance and is the combination of twist, cupping and asymmetrical flex patterns. In addition to proper biomechanical alignment, Stance Correct provides lateral support and medial flex to provide the proper balance of support, control and mobility. A little bit goes a long way.
Ankle Straps
Pre-curved 3D shaping and Multi-Density padding provide even pressure distribution over the instep for the best in control and comfort.
Toe Strap
Over-the-top, over-the-toe, anywhere in between... keeping the choice in the rider's hands. Featured on all Ride bindings.
Ratchets
All Ride ratchets feature 4 clicks per throw, anatomical shaping for easy cranking and super smooth release.
Footbed
Formed EVA shockpads provide vibration dampening and shock absorption. Featured on all Ride Bindings.
Basepads
A sheer layer of vibration-absorbing material that deadens high-speed chatter.
Discs
