Rossignol Freesystem/toe bolt...

Anyone know anything about this, I've only seen it in a magazine article (WE SKI) but it seems just crazy.
I'm gonna try and scan in the pictures tonight, but i was just wondering if anyone had any info/pics already.

Basically, it has two grooves, that cut way into the core the same distance apart that the bolts are on any axial scratch/fks toe piece. There is then a kind of ratchet system down the middle of the ski. It has been designed so you can quickly adjust your stance throughout the day, from recommended for piste, to center for park, to forward for switch.

To me, this seems crazy, surely there are going to be huge weaknesses within the ski core now, and can this track and groove system really be as strong as the regular mounting method.

Any light to shed anyone?
 
i've seen a thread or two on the topic but i forget the titles. Interest popped up around sia a while back. Sounds like rocker on the go. It'll be interesting to see the effects it has on camber, durability and flex. Personally i'd rather rock a 2 ski quiver and suck it up on the traverse back
 
you should also check out the new B4s, they have a metal string tied to the tip that runs on top of the ski, you can tighten or losten it to adjust rocker
 
See this is where i got scared man...
It's going to be available as an option on the S4? Which is the new ghetto, aka their park ski that andreas was rocking at X. That's what it states in both those links and in this article I was reading.
This is why I was a little dubious of it.

Kind of like a demo binding, but not a foot off the ski and will probably be safe knowing rossignol.
