Squared off Laminated carbon fiber also peels/splits when force is applied to the edge, such as a chain going through the slide and box... as it looks like it already happened in their short test. Bevel the edges PLEASE. Also, autoclaving the carbon fiber will result in a MUCHMUCH stronger product and even lighter still. Why not use derlin for the pully? Its just as light and has self lubricating properties?

And here all these football/baseball/basketball fruitcakes get paid *what?!* to do 'what?' and get babied when they boo-boo their ankel/elbow. I agree, big time sponsors like RB need to step up to the plate. Especially for *this* kind of sport where an actual risk is involved and Now.

Hi Ian, I totally understand and I understand how groups and management can work and how taking over with new management can/does fix or cause other problems. However, hearing that it was a golf developer hit a sore spot in me personally and hits a lot of people local to me as well; as we are trying to retain out rights/privileges to our own land use while these people, these meaning the dickgolfers, are intruding without so much of an approval from the city with paper work. Especially when we have had to go through all the risk management, inspections, funds, sponsorships, approvals to afford what we have with the city and private land of which we operate on. The dickgolfers here are have also trashed their own courses here by leaving trash everywhere, trampling undergrowth, clear cutting, illegal burning and dumping vandalism of their own areas etc. Basically ruining local ecological systems thusly promoting erosion/hightend ground temps etc which make it hard for vegetation to grow back let alone the dangerous use of needles which are left around thier current trampling grounds. As such the dickgolfers are starting/trying to do it to our most popular local riding spot which just got a huge grant from Specialized/IMBA to build new Whistler style trails 'which everyone is super stoaked on and are turning out awesome!', and I hate hearing how 'lower risk' sports seem to be taking the time/work/dedication away from our sport without so much of a consideration for the work and love people have put into the places that they congregate.

This seems to be the trend as DickGol...Disc Golfers are taking over the local area here as well. 'Beacon Hill to be exact.' which is way worse as dick golfers destroy everything and have no respect for nature. Golf... a gentleman's sport. Pht. *angry*
