I guess we should start calling the edge "syndicate hardshell"

is he coaching anywhere specific, laymen can visit?

I would be interested.

Got hold of one MC 16 and today I tried it.

I bought it.

After just a couple of sets I think it is the best ski I have ever been on.

More sets will prove that right or wrong.

I was in total control and stable without feeling like I have a tanker under my feet.

Fast stable and agile at the same time. A first for me!

I like it too, but I have a few ??? in my head.

How easy is it for this thin piece of metal to bend? If it bends it bends big/visibly? or is it slightly deforming with every set and then one fine day you find yourself in a beautiful pre-release situation? How fast does that day come?

In other words, how robust is the product and how do we know it? How many people and for how long have tested it?

I read that the plastic part is 3D printed. Hmm, unless they have a kick ass super expensive printer the polymers used in 3D printing are not super durable.

Bottom line, I am sceptical liek I am with all new binding systems.

I think we are overreacting here. Let's wait and see if the product is good or not. If it is we will for sure buy it, if not then not. Who cares about the marketing campaign? These are small waterski equipment companies focused on their product, it is not as if they had an army of marketeers behind.

At least that's the way I see it. Boycotting the site because we don't agree with a marketing campaign? Come on!

@Howa1500 not directly related to the topic, but I notice that the distance between your two bindings is kinda big. I used to ski like that as well some years back. In my mind I was more stable on the ski. When I tried to bring them closer two things happened.

a) I started skiing better, a lot better

b) I started falling less frequently, a lot less.
