    Telemark binding step in thingy

    Does anyone know about this item,...who makes it and where to get it?

    I saw an add, (in Backcountry I think), but I don't remember the name of the item or the company.

    It was a red plastic thing that mounted to the ski and held the heel throw up a few inches so that you could step down and it would flip the heel throw closed.

    I've been searching........with no luck!

    I want it.....help me find it please!!!

    If you can't crouch down far enough to put on your binding, you probably shouldn't be on teles.

    LMAO. As one who's arms somehow shortened with age, i ended up buying a pair of Telebulldogs, that 22 Designs did/do make. Step in tele. Relied totally on the 3 pins tho, real aggro tele'ers could likely rip the boot out. I never did...
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Thanks guys!!! For those that helped, and for those that didn't.

    And for the record.....I can crouch down far enough, and I'm not fat...I'm just kinda old with troublesome knees.

    Even though this is a, seemingly, logical conclusion of the NA misunderstanding that telemarkskiing="kneedropping", it is dumber than that step-in contraption.
    And that's saying quite a lot.

    Oh well, whatever makes you smile...
