im thinking the pole itself... potentially fit more in there? seems like you couldnt get all that much in a handle?

After going through 3 replacement brakes on my rossi axium bindings, i invented some of these (claim) ...but they were heavy, bulky, and, because they had to be mounted mid sole, they required a boot mod. They pivoted both ways, unlike normal brakes that only swing "back". when they broke i gave up on them and just bought FKS bindings. the FKS brakes are about the burliest money can buy. When those break though (which they still might) hopefully someone will have developed a solution to this.

might be out of my league and people have tried it before but when you ski you need to be forward and on your toes so the main contact point of your edge is near there right? maybe focus the center of the side cut there. instead of centered. maybe this could help (or make worse) riding switch, since the weight is even heavier on the toes/balls of the feat.

on another note, a few snowboard ocmpanies have started to do the spooned nose and tail. i dont think it would have as great an effect on skis to spoon the nose and tail but if no one has tried it its worth a shot.

thats sick. i'd love to try those! haha but whens the next ON3P demo day??

maybe i could buy a pair of $50 beater skis at the ski swap and bend the edges up at the tip like that.

...and so begins "project spoon tip"

that apparently already exists, but it should hold way more than only 8oz.

Uhmmm well when you ski, Assuming you're in a forward stance, your weight should be on your heels with your toes pushing against the tops of your boots, you would be engaging your tibialis anterior (I think) to move your bodyweight forward. As far as i know, mounting points/sidecut are designed in concert so that the skier can make a good arc.

Thanks for posting enough info to tell us you know jack shit about skiing, and are woefully uninformed about ANY ski technology.

Go the fuck away gape.

completely unnecessary. this thread is about ski invention ideas. i assumed that meant if you have any sort of an idea say it. the thread isnt called "tell us the best idea that actually works on skis". you can be ignorant and think what you want im not concerned.

maybe this is why ppl dont come up with new ideas. they're discouraged by all the fucking hate.

how about proposing something else instead of telling someone their idea sucks.

If you're a serious inventor, you're going to have people telling you your ideas suck. 9/10 times, they actually suck, but that 1 good idea will redeem all the failures.

back in like 2004 burton had the dominant where between the feet the edges bent in on the base towards each other. Click for larger image this meant the edge between your feet was just ptex/base material. not the greatest for hard pack. not a bad idea if you want to just hit rails.

This is more than I was talking about. This is what i am referring to. It doesnt really affect the board that much but helps float in powder really well. also real easy to butter and mess around. Only downsides i found were when coupled with reverse camber it can lead to a lot of looping out if you land off centered a bit. http://snowboarding.transworld.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/442/files/burton_super_hero/burton_super_hero_snowboard_reviews_28.JPG

A. You don't ski on your toes. If you're skiing on your toes, then you're doing it wrong

I didnt necessarily mean on your toes. but more so on the forward part of your foot. arent you supposed to lean forward into your boots when you ski? wouldnt that make you kind of on the balls of your feet? or maybe im just completely wrong.

thanks for those other links though.
