I got asked to test this system by ski patrol in Australia ( who currently use them ) , was surprised at how much easier general riding was it . No more looking for a board rack or stashing my board upside down & hoping no one knocks it over .

that's too much work to put the pin back. I just rather flip it upside down or stab the snow with the tip or tail.

Nice first post btw..

If ski patrol is currently using them, why would they ask you to test them???:no2:

OMG!!! Surely You aren't suggesting that the OP was being less than honest in his statement that he was picked at random to test this product and is only posting here out of his/her genuine desire to inform us of a truly remarkable new product that He/She is in NO way associated with financially????? :no2: Surely you're not!!!!

Deac,…!! You are a turning into a completely cynical, sociopathically distrustful human being!

:lol:

You could get this "brake" and risk the structural integrity of your board by screwing it in and risk yourself by falling on the lil spikes OR you could just flip your board upside down so it doesn't runaway... No thanks, "snowboard spurs"... there's a snake in muh boot.

Gotta love inventions and creativity tho on things that are highly unneeded... A device like this--gotta be invented by a skiier. How have we managed all these years!? :-o

You decided to come to a snowboarding forum, where presumably everyone fucking rips which is why they are so fanatical, to tell us how to stop?! Get the fuck outta here gaper...

I wouldn't be surprised if you did get asked by Australian ski patrol, cunts can't ride for shit... took one of them like 10 mins to catch up to me and a friend when we were waiting at the bottom of a 100m run when my friend got air on a roller. We were just waiting for friends to come down when we realise the dude blowing a whistle telling us to slow down was ski patrol...

Generator. Like a bicycle. Little wheel pushes on the snow, generates electricity for the headlight mounted on the front of the snowboard. You know, for night riding....

Why fix something that isn't broken, if you are worried about your board running away, buy a $10 leash or better still, use the leash that comes with bindings like K2 supply, problem solved with NO issues or big cost... I don't get it personally...

7 years, i have never had a board run away from me, even my stepson has only ever done it once on the nursery slope, never come close again...!

this freaking new generation, everyone can be an inventor, everyone is a entrepreneur. My neighbor owns a bar and is so sick of the daily 20 something that walks in with some 'new product' that will grow sales or get twitter followers or rate his beer taps or put menus by his urinals or introduce singles.

IF you have an idea OP, do this
1) verify the problem you are solving exists outside your head
2) find 5-10 potential customers with this problem
3) build a prototype
4) have them use it
5) ask them to buy it right now if you make small changes based on their feedback. (iterative development)
if they won't buy it, you have a shit product or idea.
if they will buy, go ask 10 more customers that don't know you to buy it.
if those new customers don't buy it, you may have a shit product.
else, congratulations you did one successful round of product testing. most products that go to market do 3-5 rounds and then most still fail, because you've been focusing on the product this whole time and not marketing or sales or company growth.

Great product! I'd pay serious cash for it.

In fact... Here's $1,000,000 Intrawebz Dollaz payable to your account.
