Administrators Horton Posted September 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2013 well... I am not in charge of this thing anymore. When whoever is making it wants to announce it they will.

Baller_ The_MS Posted September 6, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted September 6, 2013 If its not ready, it will not work so how do you know if it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 Does it have anything to do with an "on the fly / in the water" binding adjustment mechanism....that would be cool. Twist a knob and move the bindings 1/8" increments while sitting in the water. It could be done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2013 @MS I have the first Prototype and it rocks. Since I want the thing but I do not have the time to make or market it I gave the idea away. Heck I have an extra one now so maybe I do not care anymore.... naaa I hope this turns out to be a big deal. I sent rough drawings to 6 or 7 different Ballers. Now we wait for someone to announce that it is for sale.

Administrators Horton Posted September 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2013 @skibug On the fly binding adjust? No but I have heard about someone doing that. Think simple.

Baller_ Wish Posted September 6, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted September 6, 2013 Whats the rules on movable parts on the fly with a slalom ski?. Thought nothing could move or be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jordan Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 Saw a ski one time...a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away- that had a movable wing that got steeper when you pressed down on the front foot. The idea was that it would be a true brake with the wing angle increasing, as you put weight on the front foot to decelerate, and then flattening out as you moved your weight to the back foot for acceleration. Like I said, this was in the olden days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 @Wish the restriction is that bindings and fins "cannot move during actual skiing". That would infer that adjustments between passes should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2013 This is far more simple. This to me it is a "Why did I not think of that sooner kind of thing". The guys who are working on this know who they are and I say the sooner they announce this the better.

Baller skibug Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 @Horton, I don't think I will either as I have all slots (no holes anywhere) in my binding plates. Am I on to something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 @skibug Oh great.... now we will need calipers to set our binding position, too, due to infinitely adjustable binding locations... great... ;-) PS - I know nothing as I am not a machinist.

Administrators Horton Posted September 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2013 for those catching on.... I got the idea watching a pro skier adjusting his bindings 1/16th at a time. Must skiers who do not use Power Shells have to move 3/8th at a time.

Baller colo_skier Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 Automatic testicular caliper refinement displacement tool? Not every skier is going to need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mwetskier Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 my brothers best friend and ski buddy has a modification he did to his binding that allows him to make adjustment of 1/32 inch at a time with exact repeat ability. i think it might be patend pending.

Baller webbdawg99 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you move the radar boots/plate by smaller increments? There's gotta be more to it....I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted September 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 6, 2013 I have all slots and a a ruler stuck to my binding plates so I can see exactly where they are. I move as little as ~1/32 at a time, don't need a measuring tape, and can tell in a 1 second glance if they are in the right spot. My plates don't ever move either.

Administrators Horton Posted September 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2013 @webbdawg99 Radar sequence plates go 3/16th. that is almost 1/4". I want 10ths or 16ths. Change your fin by .005 but move bindings by 1/4"? Does not make sense to me.

Baller alex38 Posted September 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think a plate that was printed or revealed exact distance from its trailing edge to front binding would be convenient, then just measure to tail for super easy measuring.

Baller ToddL Posted September 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 7, 2013 That should be the next generation Sequence plate... ruler printed with 0 mark at the back edge. Just note the back binding's distance to end of plate, measure end of plate to tail, and add together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 7, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2013 As long as we all agree that 3/8 is freak'n silly. As for all slots that is awesome until a screw or two gets lose. Maybe you check before every ride but most skiers do not.

Baller chris_logan Posted September 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 7, 2013 So if you have a plate with slots, and are using countersunk machine screws to attach it to the ski, it seems logical to add countersinking when drilling the slots in the plate at 1/16" or 1/32" increments to allow the screw to seat itself at each increment in the slot. Having the ruler engraved/printed on plate next to the slots would just be gravy to that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller webbdawg99 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 7, 2013 "Almost as big as the adjustable fin" Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted September 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 7, 2013 @Horton If you also use the holes behind the front bindings every other adjustment on the Sequence plate isn't the adjustment 1/2 of your 3/16ths calculation which equals 3/32?

Baller schafer Posted September 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 7, 2013 @thager that was my thought as well. Part of the reason I like the sequence plate so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
