What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I ride the Hemlock when I want that perfect blend of freestyle flex and reliable response. Whether I’m pressing rails or tweaking grabs off side hits, the asym highback and cush footbed keep it comfortable and locked in all session."Built for freestyle flow and street-ready flexibility, the Arbor Hemlock Binding is our go-to when the day calls for creative lines and park laps. Engineered with a softer flex but plenty of response, this binding strikes the perfect balance for riders who want to boost, tweak, and press with confidence. The Hemlock’s new asymmetrical highback and 15% fiberglass System X baseplate give us better energy transfer without sacrificing board feel. We love the eco-conscious details like the plant-based BioStrap and EVA footbed that softens heavy landings and long ride days. An adjustable aluminum heelcup helps fine-tune fit across boot sizes, while the Bow Strap design makes entry and exit smoother than ever. Whether we’re lapping side hits or hiking a rail, the Hemlock delivers the support and flex we need for a full day of freestyle progression.
