    Weight=4.2 oz/brake. That doesn't seem like much. How much do leashes weigh?

    Dynafit brake vs. leash pissing match = Audi vs. Subie pissing match = Dodge vs. Ford vs. Chevy pickup truck pissing match = John Deere vs. International tractor pissing match = PC vs. Mac pissing match

    Beats the fuck out of me. Mine's not a B&D job, but built from parts I found. 236 grams is more than I thought for brakes, though. Big Stevey is right, who gives a fuck, they both have pluses and minuses that you get used to. Both work.

    Dynafit ST brake= 118g, Dynafit Guide Leash=35g, nothing=nothing. There is also the funky rotation of the heelpiece issue.

    the correct term is "dynafote"

    Any of you who use Dynafit brakes and hate leashes --

    Can I have your Dynafit coiled-springy leashes? The ones shown here:

    I have one set yesbrakes, one set nobrakes and they're always pissing on each other.


    Srsly tho - as has been noted, dyna brakes aren't always the best at deploying, especially in heavier/wetter snow where build up interferes. The old pre-release followed by watching your ski rocket over the roll-over below is always a nice combo, especially when it's the one that's supposed to have stoppers.

    Haven't seen Scot's transition have you.
    It's so fast you'll miss it if you don't shoot video and play it back in slow motion.
    Seriously though, his transitions are quick.
    Gives him time for an RJR break while the rest of us are still folding our skins.

    Maybe I should have straps AND brakes.

    Would that advertise my jongness?

    My fritschi brakes don't always work... but the only time a ski went for a joy ride was on this barely inclined beat down skin track that turned into a ski tobaggon run. A nice snowshoer brought the ski back, though

    I know someone who rolls with straps and brakes. I've given up making fun of him for that; it's too easy when he provides so much other fodder.
    ...but hey, it's free advice on the internet, right? -Mustonen

    I asked him about that too as it seemed odd to me. He said the brakes were to be in bounds compliant for when he was riding lifts and the leashes were for run-away ski protection in the BC.
    Move upside and let the man go through...
