Dynafit trail runners and homeopathic BS

[bean]

Saw this on TetonAT this morning, thanks Steve for posting about these: http://www.tetonat.com/2011/08/07/ne...fit-and-salewa



Is this an elaborate troll on the part of Dynafit? I wonder how much from each pair of shoes goes to license the use of a magnet in the sole.

[Dantheman]

I guarantee that magnet does fuck all. What a joke.

SALEWA, Aura Activator is retarted. Stop. Now.

[Dantheman]

Seriously, do these people not have any idea how much more powerful the magnetic forces your body is subjected to during an MRI are?

[Andyski]

Hopefully they start putting this dumb shit in boots, too so we can see weight breakdowns like this:
-TLT 7,600 Platinum stock: 2 pounds per boot
-TLT 7,600 Platinum w/Intuition Superawesomewraps and with all paint and logos sandblasted off: 1.7 pounds per boot
-TLT 7,600 Platinum with all the above and magnets removed: 1.1 pounds per boot

http://en.auraactivator.com/files/SCIENTIFIC-REPORT.pdf would seem to indicate that it's a small Mid- and Long-wave IR transmitter, rather than a magnet.

But I still doubt that it does what they claim it does.

Huh?????

Homeopathic remedies are proven to work only for those who believe it will work.

You've just got to BELIEVE

True.
"Arura activator" = "Placebo activator"

Homeopathic bullshit nontheless. Truly worthless of a company with such amazing engineering and real-world skill.

Surely you'd be able to huck in magnetic dynafits? if only there were burly enough AT boots?

(I think I got two memes in there)

[neufox47]

C'mon guys. Maybe you shouldn't be so cynical. I mean, with writing like this they must be legit.

"Considering a constant biologic nutrition which guarantees the functioning of the we can assume that
the IR analysis emitted by a body can guarantee us a feed-back on its generative processes, or it
can interact on themselves through additional sources of IR.

Just read Tetonat and today's article about the new BD carabiners with magnets in them. This was immediately above his post of yesterday that had Dynafit's magnetic shoes.
Magnets= the new black.
DPS put magnets in the 11/12 Wailer112RP's quick before PMgear beats you to it.

[Johnny Deep]

Fvck all of that. Magnets properly placed on your arm polarizes your blood and makes food stores last like 7 times longer. Seriously, I've seen a skier or two last two maybe even three days without eating.

Why wouldn't a gram counting, function first company, with a rich engineering history start using as seen on TV technology in their products.

Do you think now that they've served the purpose of making all of us internet gear-heads aware of dynafit's new runner line, they'll be scrapped from the design before hitting shelves next year?

^^^^^ Dynafit Magnet Conspiracy Theory..... I like it.

[hutash]

Next thing you know Dynafit will be making tele gear for hippies. It is well know magnets work best in tel gear.

Holy shit... I haven't been that amused by pseudo-scientific babble since discovering Tom Bearden's website: http://www.cheniere.org/. They do claim that it's IR getting emitted, but I wouldn't bet on it actually doing it. If it did anything meaningful, their "report" would include some data, rather than just pictures they found on the internets. Somehow my internal dialogue while skimming that "report" was all in a thick Italian accent which just made it more amusing.

Prior to this, I would have tried out Dynafit shoes too, although I really really doubt I'll be dropping $150 on trail runners any time soon, so probably no big loss for them.
