Anyone ever used this? Im building a legit dolly, but this would be easier to bring onto the hill. Is it smooth? Seems like it wouldnt be because its not bearing based. +k for opinions

i hear cinevate sliders are pretty nice. like the atlas slider, but that is way expensive i think too. but definitely go bearing based for skiing because if you start doing major temp changes with friction based it could get a little sticky i think

^^ that's more expensive than the konova and he said that was too expensive so i doubt he could afford that.

2 problems with this slider:

Dry line sliders are shitty. Roller bearing sliders are much better (I miss mine :/).

This slider is 2 feet long. Too short IMO. 3 ft is a solid length for a portable slider IMO

Don't even bother with that, waste of money.

Here's one of many warning signs that this product is garbage.
