Robs, email me your address and size and I'll send one to you in the morning. I think its so much cooler to wear other teams shirts. Will you do shirts for men?

Pelle. They look even nicer on podiums. Yours should be with you around Christmas. And the Lazer influence is there, we have taken Bennett angles and Lazer style, with Virage quality and axles.

I believe barge gates with a delay on the second run equal to the TD, like in WC snowboard dual-course racing, are the ticket. Prob only for big race because of the equipment and cost, but we ARE talking about making the sport grow, so thought I'd throw it out there. That would be nice. I enjoyed t...

• Be placed no closer than 4m from the 1st cone in the course. I feel it can be closer in many cases. • Provide hand-holds for the racer to pull on for propulsion from the start We thought long and hard about that aspect of the Octane ramps. And decided on a straight pole that is easily grasped, as ...

Thanks Pelle...dont worry as a Team Member you will get a set as soon as we make the production version. Talking of which Sams photo clearly shows the baseplate, the production version has more curves there to match the hanger and Bennett too. Also the hanger will look a little 'softer' with Vite br...

Mr Harms, new day, fresh ideas! I'm loving your idea of calling the nut feature 'an English Channel'. Id like to use that if I may.

Le Manche? (the 'sleeve') what the French call the Channel. How about the 'Rad Pitt'??? Its amazing how well that channel really allows for a tight and secure fit.
