D-Sub Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 personally only see a few mods needing to be made, but if a certain lawsuit goes in the direction certain people hope it does, there might not be ANY further improvements.

C5 Golfer Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Is there going to be a TD3? i have been poundering it for about 30 seconds and now it really intruiges me. I'd add a small stepper motor and be able to change the binding angle at will from a remote control. Basically just trim it out as conditions see fit, just like a boat or airplane. Also, I'd add an automatic toe and heel scrapper as I am stepping in. Also, come to think of it a cup holder would be nice, maybe a flip down version so if I do not have a drink with me it folds flat. That's all I can think of for now.

ARCrider Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 C5 forget about the toe/heel scraper and go for the heated plate version. Not hot enough to cook eggs but it will melt snow. Will the drink holder telescope up to bar hight or will we have to bend all the way down to refresh ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I think it should have automated assist to track hand position in 3D space in real time, then toss the beverage of choice right into your grasp, any time any slope, any carve.

tex1230 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I'd add an automatic skeletal alignment system so everyone can quit bitching about various styles and we can all look exactly the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufty Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Never mind that. Auto-pilot. That way you can go up, get hammered in the altitude bar, then bomb down executing perfect carves all the way to the cheers and plaudits of all and sundry. Proximity of technique to the extreme carving technique would be a simple relationship with exactly _how_ hammered you get: Just a few == 'Bomber' Technique A few more == Eurocarving One too many == Extreme carving (aka "I can't stand up any more") Or maybe they could just head on out and do a few runs for you, leaving you to stay in bed and dream of hero snow.

C5 Golfer Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 All good ideas .. but my last requests would include an Airbag Deployment system for when I crash and a Cloaking Device so I can slip by the Speed Patrol unnoticed.

Sinecure Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Maglev. Cupholders Regenerative Heating (keep snow off and tootsies warm). Recco and/or ortovox locator. Tree well extrication device. Speedometer (record max speed and avg speed, plus total vertical feet). Flamethrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 We need fore and aft shields and phasers. Also... low yield photon torpedos for those jerks that always ride up on your tail in the lift line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleaman Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 This one is actually for real. Is is possible to imbed a locator chip (RECCO) in the bindings so you can find someone after an avalanche? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but lets take this to the next evolution. Add a Gravity Directional finder and use an ejector seat technology and just blow you straight up out of the avalanche, add a self inflating paraglide and just land where you want with a drink in hand.

Kent Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 FWIW - Not sure there needs to be a TD3, but if I had the machinery that Fin has, I'd build a Bomberized old Emery Race plate.........which would basically be its own line. Call it the "Pink Series" K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wun Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You got to see TD3s? As they say in computer gaming.. Screenshots or it didn't happen. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 C'mon you guys! Fin!! Lets see em! Please???!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Went to the Basin for some early season carnage rode a big board and scared myself and others several times. Stopped at the shop and drooled over the new binder. Yet another finely crafted piece of beauty from Fin. Get in line and have your credit cards ready. Well done Fin. Keep doing what your doing.Mark I saw it too. It's got several small improvements that are going to be great, but I have serious doubts about the Papier-mâché base plate. I don't care what the engineering textbooks say about the young's modulus and tensile strength and all that, it just makes me nervous. I'm going to keep my TD2s, thanks. But with dual cup holders I might be persuaded to try it. Are you listening, Fin? Dual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggerwrangler Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 hmmm well was thinking could go with a car truck cup holder mount it to the front side front binding only one as 2 would be 2 wide. the bail would help stablize it using the threads from the unused holes. mounted bottom side going up I think i might be able to retro fit one to work. 1st version might look a little ugly but i will see what i can do. will need a rubber pad on the bottom to keep the water rings off as well. Don't want to hurt the board do we? the binding is so meaty and tough version 2 could have a extension so you can grab the drink at knee level. Fin makes awsome gear! Thinking i will start at checker and get the one that hooks into the vents. Should work with that new coors can that tells you when its cold! Guess that might bring on the whole challenge of KIng of the mountain. Who can get to the bottom with the most beer in the cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
