Emdee406 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Here’s a new remake of an old classic... http://www.hungryboarder.com/index.php?document_srl=38640574&mid=User&category=488871 Built by a friend of the Alloy DO’s designer, it’s an impressive looking piece of engineering... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 How many schmeckles does that cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee406 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I’ve asked...waiting for a reply. But with carbon fiber and beautifully machined aluminium involved, my first guess would be ‘lots!’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Totally agree. But it is so cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Wow... they've turned the volume knob up to H on that one. I'm guessing that H = 12 degrees? That whole damn post is an image... does anyone have the original URL so I can get a translation? It does look quality... I don't know why they put six screws in the base plate... If four is not enough there might be a bigger issue but then again the whole thing is the height of over engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that's a lot of won. krw680000 is usd600 Edited February 28, 2019 by daveo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Edges Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Are there dampening pads for beneath the deck plates? Google translate did not do well on the site. While a beautiful piece of engineerng. I fear it may solve a problem that we don't have... US$600. That is cheaper than I expected...

I reckon those are to stop point loads from the circular disc from destroying topsheets. Kind of Catek style. So many niche products in Korea and Japan. Not many of them solve any problem apart from aesthetics and coolness haha. I mean are these actually 3 x better than bomber power plates? Are the bpp really 2 x better than the Unicant? I'm not the biggest fan of the Bomber bindings, I appreciate the power plates though and I can't see how these Korean power plates are any better than the Bomber Power Plates. Anyone? Cant, heel lift and toe lift is what all the softboot carving crews want now, why not just build it into the binding? Wait a SEC! I feel someone has come up with this idea already..... If only the Catek FR2 was around now I reckon it would TAKE OFF astronomically with the softboot carving crowd Edited February 28, 2019 by daveo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee406 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 From one of the Alloy guys...yup, $600-$700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
