BobD Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Are you talking about a pivot in the highback itself?There was a patent by Salomon (us patent 5967531) about this type of idea. http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=pYoWAAAAEBAJ&dq=5967531 That's what I was thinking, I guess as there's a patent, thinking is all it will amount to :( Not sure how beneficial it would be to soft boot carving, but I think it would maybe help with moving forward to pressure the nose, in the way that we can in hard boots.

I've only seen that design in a few patents. I haven't seen any products like that. Salomon was the owner on that patent so I'd be interesting to know if they did anything with the design. I'm going to the SIA trade show this year, so I'll ask them about it. I tried a design like this. The highback rotated and the baseplate remained still. The problem I experienced was the bottom of the boot was remaining still and the top was trying to move. This twisted the boot which felt strange and limited movement.

Rocker_Binding Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have bindings made up and available for demo now. Let me know if you are interested at general@rockerbinding.com. http://www.rockerbinding.com/The_Rocker_Binding.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gilmour Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Funky made a binding like that ..I think circa 1984-1987 it was for plates but had the near identical hinge system. Likely Chris Carol still has a pair as he used to certify people at Loon riding those.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 While I think it's an excellent idea to have more choices in bindings, we don't need multiple threads and another few zombie threads on your stuff. Let's keep the discussion focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pulling down all of the other posts besides this one and the new one I started for the 3 strap binding. I don't know if I was clear but the most recent post was to about a 3 strap binding without a hinge. Something which is a bit more conventional like the Burton Torques and Flexes. I was hoping to start a new thread to avoid confusion with this thread which was more for the a 3 strap design with a hinge. Is it kosher if I have two posts (3-strap and one 3-strap+hinge)? For me spending all this time working on this, they seem like significantly different topics but then again I might be getting tunnel vision from working on this so much.

It wasn't clear before to skimming eyes that these were two different bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
