Replying to Suspension Ski Boots
What if someone added suspension springs under footbeds? It would work kinda like mountain bike suspension. You would need a taller foot part of the ski boot, with a really stiff footbed, and a stiff spring under the footbed. The spring would be stiff enough to not compress much during regular skiing, but it would compress after landing a big huck. That way skiers would be able to stomp hucks that normally require hot tubbing without breaking their feet/legs, and would be able to stomp hucks that normally require 2 feet of pow even when it hasn't snowed in weeks. Why has the free market not produced this yet?
