Strada Boots release system?

[Jarydcohen]

Hi guys

 

Can someone please explain exactly what the deal is with the Strada boots and the release system?

The outer shell is permanently attached to the ski. The shell has a separate boot liner that slips in. Instead of having a solid buckle, the collar (ankle) of the shell is closed with a heavy-duty elastic cord. When you fall forward, or the ski stops, the collar will expand and the foot/liner combination slips out. I did not realize the youtube clip I linked to yesterday did not demonstrate that.
