CarvingScooby Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks, So i guess they are "shock absorbers" I dont think so....maybe it reduce the dumping a bit as it sit on the deck only on a few small points that only small vibration from the deck transfer thru but it act more as stabilizer. It stabilize where you stands while the board flexing underneath without effecting direct to your binding/boot/feet/leg too much. (My 2 cents from own experience on HanglPlate, I haven't try the VIST yet) The shock absorber are the elastomers/plastics under your bindings... Anyone can chime...? I hope this help, RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 - Vibration absorption - Alowing natural flex of the board - Avoiding point-loading - Power transmission to the edge - Rise for more leverage + On new models - Placing both boots on a single plane, isolated from the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
