This is the craziest ski binding you've ever seen.

- Sometimes we just need to share what's going on in our heads... and this ShredShox binding has certainly had us think for a while. First it was BOA on ski boots, now a ski binding with full suspension? Where does the line end... but how can you know where it ends when we don't even know where it begins! Tune in for our thoughts on this new binding and tap into the socials for more on all new gear this season.
Best way to have less fatigue... is to stay in the couch. You can also hire someone to ski for you.
Yo these look fire when I keep my eyes closed 💯💯🔥
Potential issues:
1. Mount point is now way outside of manufacturer rec, so no warranty, and you're mounting into a narrower part of the ski with added weight.
2. Will the brake still work well with the binding being much higher off the ski?
3. The only possible market I see for this is older people who will now be experiencing falls from a taller height with the added height.
4. Potential loss of maneuverability with the shocks will probably lead to people accidentally holding their edge longer and preventing them from hockey stopping therefore continuing momentum into an unwanted direction = more collisions.
5. Probably the most important, how much more effort is it going to take to get back to center if you land backseat and then have to fight the suspension to get back up and how many more ACL injuries will it cause.
6. more prereleases because the ski binding is now moving in the air with extra force in a way it wasn't designed for?
So many more, I'm sure they're skiable and get the idea of wanting to add suspension to a ski but it's just a bad idea for so many reasons in my opinion.
@BigPurpleSkiSuit these were so some of my concerns also
Really cool idea. I can’t wait to see the practical outcome!
Can I get them with an AT setup for backcountry?? 😅 can’t imagine these being successful with any target demo.
I have to wonder that if you just added weight the ski if that would feel very similar.
Pretty bad idea. Skier will have to use more energy to make larger movements to affect the ski.
This video is a great idea. There's very little independent information on this product
Those Rangers are so damn sexy. Very skeptical on the suspension system. That’s a ton of added weight.
I like how it’s removing feedback on the ski lol
Will be interesting to get some firsthand feedback on this.
What’s the liability waiver look like?
@@brookscurran lol maybe I’ll send you a copy
Based on mounting points, it will impact the ski flex and behavior, can’t see it being effective, you will also loose feedback from the ski, for sure not as precise
Less energy into the skier. By newtons law that also means less energy the skier can put into the ski. This is just a very niche product for people who don’t value performance in skiing.
The binding is so far away from the ski. Skiing is gonna be so wierd
Nothing like falling and getting impaled by your binding
THis is very rudimentary suspension design. I'm sure once you get a true mtb suspension engineer on this, and design an appropriate linkage with compression curve, they can easily lay the shock flat against top-sheet.
Wouldn't the added wait make chair lift rides more insufferable? Feels like it would almost nullify the energy saved while skiing.
Idk about that
It’s gonna ruin the feeling of the ski your gonna get a massive dead spot where there is no feeling and the ski won’t flex property
Curious about that too
@ They’re fixing a problem on one had
