Yes, but we need to stoke the interest so the lemmings jump on the band wagon to test it for us and provide feedback to the manufacturer on production issues.

I wonder if Marker will finally be the company that makes tech bindings with reliable, easily swappable brakes. I don't understand why no one has yet tackled such a simple challenge.

because plenty of people actually touring on touring bindings.. don't have much use for brakes?

You'd feel differently if you'd met the Hoji. I met the Hoji and his blissful backcountry radiance touched my life, reached into my inner skintrack, and lifted me up on winged tech bindings. Hoji is life. Praise be to Hoji!

Analogous to how my Grandmas rocking chair always sounded "creaky creaky"

it's a struggle, imitating and failing, is it not?
thousands of maggots wanting to be Hoji say "yes"
wouldn't it be creepy to come onto a forum and see all kinds of people eagerly imitating you via gear purchase? wait... no, for most maggots, that's the dream right there.

He had TLT Speed Turn heels, with a custom top plate that didn't have a high riser. Plus some Radical toepieces. Think he just had stock springs. Dude's boots had a lot going on. Plus mods on pack, shovel, and the most robust repair kit I've seen someone carry.
Hoji is an borderline obsessive DIY tinkerer, has good mountain sense, and tours a ton. At the end of the day when everyone was lounging, he was reworking people's boot cuff pivots and rejiggering buckle placements. He could have slept in the hut, but instead built a snowcave and slept in every night. The dude does not like to be idle. He's excited about other people's success but not very interested in his own. Plus is a damn good skier. Hard not to have a mancrush. If you're looking for a ski celebrity to eagerly imitate, you could do worse.
How many Safety Team dudes had bar-spinnable cable setups on their bikes but weren't even trying to learn barspins ten years ago? And vinyl die-cut S's on every helmet and bike? I know you and I both did. Or shit, just pedal by a Griz game for a big dose of fame-whoring tribalism. If humans come pre-programed to follow the leader, might as well look up to one with some redeeming qualities. Granted, Hugh Conway's above all that.

yeah, I'm not looking to imitate a ski celebrity, or splooge over some man crush (who, in irony, apparently isn't following everyone along like everyone in this forum) does like a teen girl
there are many people worthy of praise in this world who do amazing work and are incredible bright. this narrow little sport of narcississts doesn't rate high on that.
now back to the tech binding changing the world and gnarwhale's fluffing service.

Yes I realize I'm going to catch incredible flak on here for this, but fine. Hoji and his family are some of the most selfless and caring people in this valley of great people. His brother is my best friend both on and off snow has been instrumental in getting my confidence back on both skis and bikes serving as my guide when need be and Confidence builder when that was needed. His parents sheltered and fed my wife, brother and I for a week after we lost our place in the floods last year. Eric always makes a point of coming out and skiing with the RMF kids when he can is always stoked to ski with them and give props to them all he also helped send out the word to fellow Alberta skiers when I needed help getting drug coverage by writing letters to MLAs.
I realize how uncool it is on TGR to say all this but while I agree with part of hughs statement about there being a Shit load of narrcacissts in this sport. He is not one of them. He is one of the good guys.
Go ahead, fire away.Flying the Bluehouse colors in Western Canada! Let me know if you want some rad skis!!
"He is god of snow; the one called Ullr. Son of Sif, step son of Thor. He is so fierce a bowman and ski-runner that none may contend! He is quite beautiful to look upon and has all the characteristics of a warrior. It is wise to invoke the name of Ullr in duels!"

I thought we were talking about a new tech binding. Move your narcissistic lovefest elsewhere. You fruitcakes.
