    Like other snow safety issues, the best way to control them seems to be with explosives.

    I would think that it would slow down your learning, but then again I've never tried to learn to snowboard.
    Keep your tips up and always remember to unhook your pack from the chair...

    I never found that going too slow on relatively flat slopes was a problem on a snowboard, but whatever - maybe it's useful as a learning tool. It's significantly less dumb than the snowboard pitchfork thing.

    Exactly, to me it looks like a way to learn to be reliant on the brake instead of learning how to control the board.

    that looks like a bad idea to me. kids will spend too much time thinking about the brake and having their weight ready for that instead of learning how to slow themselves and start their turns. their focus should be on themselves and the board. plus, i wouldn't want to land on that thingon hardpack.

    Looks like an attempt at a RAX board gone wrong.

    Engage it, then release it.

    I thought that was what those metal edges were for?

    I guess it will cure all those kooks riding switch.

    Wish they had these for skis/snowblades.

    when dudes start scraping straight thru the chutes i will be impressed.
    no more heel siding the steeps on pow days right, just pull the handle and ease on into the slot.

    Apparently, sideslipping down powder and bumps has become too difficult, and we need something to make this sport even more accessible and appealing to the completely inept, useless retards of the world.

    I had a feeling this was an Austrialian or British invention before the dude even opened his mouth.

    Can you imagine what will ensure when some gaper rents a board with this thing on it and stands at the top of a 30 degree piece of hard packed terrain. "Just pull the leash".

    This thing's gotta be a joke, right? Right?? I can just imagine the infomercial now:

    "From the inventor of Rax skis, now comes the phenomenal new snowboard product, Boarder Kontrol!"
