ELDIABLO

Broke both legs tib/fib in both, 3 plates and 22 screws between my legs, no ligament or joint damage

Im curious on opinions of double reflex, reflex front, wiley rear, and double Wiley set ups. Any preformance or safety quirks noticed in any of the set ups? Any non or pre releases when you thought another set up should have?

3 plates and 22 screws later I will get back to skiing, probably will never touch 36 again but will just ski for fun in the course at 32 or 34. I will definitely remove the hard tongue on the Stealths as a start but will probably end up getting OB4s or MOB. Thanks for all the imput and get well wishes guys!

Slow the video play speed on youtube to .25X As for now, when i can get back to walking and skiing again I'll remove the hard front tongue on the Fogmann boot. I'll loose leverage from the hard front tongue on the tip, but people skiing rubbers don't have any tip pressure problems? Thoughts are now I'll still have rotational release, forwards, and backwards pressure relief, and then if you go out the front the plate should pop right off.

This fall I (healthy 21 yr. old) managed to splinter my tibia and fibula in my left leg and break my right ankle (LFF). Scary thing was that it wasn't a fall that caused the break. I was rounding 4 ball at 36-22 and my front left leg just gave out. Was it because i was pressing to far forward on the hard fiberglass tongue on my Fogmann Stealth release boots? I managed to get the fall on video so you can watch my left leg break under pressure in my offside turn causing me to fall where then i twisted and broke the right ankle clean. I would like to get back to skiing but i'm afraid to use the Fogmann boots again. The hard tongue on the front boot allows for excellent tip pressure but if the tip catches you can end up with a broken leg. Has anyone had experience mounting other hard shells or soft boots to the Fogmann plate set up? Should I ditch the set up completely? Will the white cuff reflex boots offer some forgiveness pushing forward to save your leg yet are still stiff enough to cause the Fogmann plate to release? I've always had good success in twisting falls with Fogmanns always releasing. Is it just a boot design flaw or is it the release mechanism. Anyone have any experience with OB4? Anyone else break their Tib/Fib in their front leg skiing?

Called and talked to the engineer at connelly because I was going to buy one to be drilled for my Fogman stealths. The 17 has a different construction and could not support the force on the inserts in the center location on the ski so I was told to buy a 16. The layup is different but he did not say how it was to affect the ski.

Thanks for the all the help and input guys, @gator1 helped me out with a new set of stealth boots! Wanted to send a shootout and big thanks to him!

Fogman Hardshells

It's size XXL (12) LFF. The problem is that the liners are permanently mounted in the boots so I can't just replace the liner without replacing the boot. Has anyone found a good adhesive that would work if I was to use it to glue another piece of neoprene in?

Anyone had any success at repairing a torn heel in the liner of a Connelly stealth binding? I've completely warn through/torn the rear heal liner and neoprene. Called Connelly for advice or a new boot and they said they stopped dealing with them a year ago and they had no info for me. I like my Fogmans and I'd like to keep skiing them.
