Baller liquid d Posted August 4, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2020 I sure hope we can get a couple more types of rope, some stretchy, and some not so stretchy and then we can just guess which one we'll get at tournaments!

Baller thager Posted August 4, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2020 @BraceMaker DV8 is a play on words. Cute abbreviation. Deviate. Somewhere down the line, especially kids, I see adding a little longer block to get a longer ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted August 4, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted August 4, 2020 That’s an interesting though tho it depends if you could pull the fin back far enough to lengthen it meaningfully and the rocker would be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dchristman Posted August 4, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2020 @Horton I'm as anxious to see them as you. Presumably single binding, under-plate, multi-directional release.

Baller BraceMaker Posted August 5, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 Assume the orange cable is some sort of release linkage to pop both boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jtompkins120 Posted August 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 The cable is meant to keep both boots together on release. Basically instead of the old fogman setup where the plate would release with both boots attached this system would have the boots release and stay together with the cable.

Baller BraceMaker Posted August 5, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 @jtompkins120 what is the point of that though? Its so nice having the feet free to get back onto the platform if you crash hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rico Posted August 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 wouldn't the boots stay together assuming you don't lose a limb in your fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Deanoski Posted August 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 the spring has to be under the plate ARC had similar design in 1988 but we never like the final product this looks very promising IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted August 5, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 @Deanoski that's why my assumption is that the Orange has to be more than a tether for the boots - what possible benefit would that provide? If however it were some form of release such that if you pulled on it the boots would release from the plate - then it would release the other boot in a crash by tugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Deanoski Posted August 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2020 @BraceMaker I think the tether is when one boot releases the other one will also by pull the tether it reduces the spring tension automatically so both boots release. never have one release and there other boot stay on. kind of like roger Tedders release system he had when your back foot came out of the kick the front would release. cool concept IMO plus the boot look like a get shell also IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted August 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2020 @ BraceMaker Having the bindings tethered to each other could possibly be part of the release but may just be a very simple way to cut down on flail injury to other parts of the body from the boots.
