Ok.I'll bite.
I was exactly where @Wolfeie is August 3 2016.Will try to explain what happened ,excuse my bad english.
Threw the ski around 2 @ 35 off (stupid move,i'm taking all the blame as i was frustrated with my attempt at 35.)
As i was totally horizontal and my body was perpendicular to the course for my first bounce off the water my ski caught the water surface and suddenly i was parralel to the course,head first, and then my ski completely caught in the water ,full lenght of the ski acted as a brake and my Achilles took the hit.My Reflex released ...but too late damage was done.Complete rupture.
I have looked long and hard at Mike's system but decided to stay on Reflex.
Question.
Could a MOB system have saved my ski season,surgery,4 months off work,rehab,PT and all the troubles i went through ?
Why is there no Pros\Big Dawgs (that i know of) using MOB? I understand the sponsors thing but still,if the system is safer then the rest,why no one that i know using it?
500$ for a single release,no boot, is a bit steep and maybe that's why we don't see more of Mike's system but i would have gladly paid that to save my Achilles!
Someone should invent a crash test dummy for testing releases.
Maybe @Horton is looking for a job...
Edit:How thick is the boot plate? Could be pics but looks to be at least 3\8 ...
