Rules:
-It can't be a ballpark guess of "probably this for that" or "metal thing with threads". Do your research.
-Must be 20 years of age or under to win. If you are older than that you can PM me to guess, please don't be a dick and spoil it.
-If you are/were affiliated with the individual or entity that produced this item, please do not respond... feel free to stoke the fire though.
-If the winner is from outside the US and shipping is expensive, I might defer that to you or you can defer the prize to someone else.
-At no time will I divulge what the prize is (Hint: Original Gangster), but it's probably not a flaming bag of dogshit.

Hint:
-2000's
-Revolutionary

-Regular size bic lighter for scale
*The keychain portion is just a novelty and the disc looking metal thingy with the threads is what you're working with*

Beased on the size and the threaded holes on the inside and outside, I’m going to have to guess that it’s an insert that you can use to switch bindings without a remount. The disc would be good to prevent a tear out or chipping.

If it’s not that, then I have no idea.

Shoutout to people not giving it away, some being so close, and some being so far. Specificity is key.

Bonus points if someones gives background/history.

Age limit still in effect. Wu-tang is for the chilltren.

I think these are the quickmount inserts from the old Line reactor skis bindings. They were made so that you could use your one pair of bindings on all of your skis. These bindings were ridiculous in every way (not that I ever experienced them). Heres the link that tells you more about them: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/line-reactor-12-ski-bindings-used-102272085

yeahhhh nice!


that binding was an AWESOME idea but they must've rushed the execution (pretty sure they got rid of almost their entire pro team soon after that too, yikes). they were heavy which is fine but i personally saw 2 pairs blow up on small-medium jumps, and heard countless similar horror stories

I think it was The Powell Movement Podcast with Jason Levinthal where they really went into these bindings, which made me create this thread TBH. I remember these bad boys coming out and toying around with them, but I never knew about their heel release focus and how they pretty much tanked Line financially.

Yeah, that was right on, but specificity killed the cat! I'm hoping someone else comes in here with something else to keep this going. I'm going to dig around for something else and probably another thing to give away.

"-At no time will I divulge what the prize is (Hint: Original Gangster), but it's probably not a flaming bag of dogshit. "

This is all supposed to be cryptic. There is a Nicolas Cage film getting to the bottom of it though.
