wow...why don't you just figure out that noone will ever buy these from you, and if you really think pros don't hike a TON then you are a fool. They don't when they are doing a shoot, but I saw Jon at Breck early this season when everyone was hiking there 2 jump line on sundown, he prolly hiked it 35 times that day...and he hikes rails all the time, just like all the other pros.
