Why was this made?

[tag=288934]@PartyBullshiit[/tag] or someone brought this up on skimind thread. im starting to think they dont really intend to bring it to market but are trying to highlight their innovative thinking.

but its a trash design through and through. gonna be heavy as fuck and maneuverability will be pretty compromised. gonna need special brakes that will also be heavier to be a viable retention device that is required by law and thats not featured in these pics. elevating jerry for some falls poses a high safety risk for them. and the conditions you would want this in would be hard pack, chatter, or huge rowdy lines all of which you cannot afford to loose the control that i think you will in this design.

probably pairs well with a backpack speaker and a ruroc helmet though
 
I feel like these would actually make it insanely hard to ski. Wouldn't the shocks have the opposite effect and make it harder to lay an edge?
 
i feel like the suspension will alter the way the heel piece releases and will make it extra challenging to set the din properly and release correctly. this thing is a fuckin lawsuit waiting to happen.
 
Why would you use shocks over a leaf spring in this situation? Oh yeah, because Wayne Wong and Anton already did that 15 years ago. So if a product with a lighter and arguably better design has already existed and failed (to my knowledge), what chance does this product have?

Imagine being so rich that you could just throw away money like this, are you even trying to come up with a good idea?

i couldnt find and videos of this thing actually skiing
 
Looking at these things hurt the ligaments in my knees!

Your boot to ski control has left the chat and I can only imagine the additional weight.

And then the fact like [tag=290515]@Rock_Inhabitant[/tag] stated in the other thread, the rear shock is going to stab you in the back when you fall backseat.

I highly doubt these are being designed for the people who would be landing back seat or taking any kind of jump period. They’re looking more like groomer runners or just shitty surfaces.

High speed groomers are when boot to ski control matter most

Look up any video of wayne wong skiing in the past 10-15 years and he'll be on them, not sure how ski ballet will help you though.

There is this too, but it has minimal skiing on low angle terrain:

thats the same video as above with no skiing but if it was for ski ballet than that explains a lot. probably can get extra pop out of it

Can easily see how this would benefit someone older who has leg or knee problems and just can’t take the impacts like they could in the past. If you have bad knees any impact can be extremely painful.

This is both hilarious and incredibly stupid ?

What is that, 20mm of suspension travel? if at all? And according to the marketing blurb that's supposed to absorb moguls?

Why are the marketing videos showing powder videos? Is that 20mm of travel supposed to help when hucking cliffs?

Shameless fishing for clueless investors...
 
Hear me out, you find a 10/10 girl that skis park, and she pulls that out.. is she still a10 ?

thoughts ? Opinion ?

I like the idea of taking a perc then center mounting these to an old pair of wets and skiing all mountain week old chop without feeling anything. Also Ide change the suspension, put on a 6' lift and 32s.
