OXIWIN MusicStrap Backpack Speakers - $26.95 AUD

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 06:41:22 +1300

When going outdoors, we often carry MP3 players and listen to music through earphones. This is not always safe, as we lose the vital hearing sense of our surroundings, and carrying a bulky or battery-hungry stereo system as an alternative is not always practical. The MusicStrap is a perfect solution for people who love outdoor activities and who love having their music to listen to. In particular they are ideal for walkers, as they have two powerful red LEDs which flash in the dark, providing extra safety and visibility.

The MusicStrap is a compact mini stereo system that is secured onto the shoulder straps of your backpack and attached to your MP3 player or CD player. They are placed close enough to your ears so you can easily hear the music as well as hear what's happening around you. The MusicStrap runs on only two AAA batteries which can power the speakers for more than 10 hours.

Ideal for use when:

Tramping
Kayaking
Skiing
Fishing
Walking the dog

4FRNT Ski + Bindings Package - $899.99 AUD

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 06:41:22 +1300

The 4FRNT Ski + Binding package has all the new school technology that progressive skiers need. Twin-Tip All-Mountain design skis combined with bindings specifically designed with safe backwards landings in mind - hit any run and attempt any trick with total confidence.

4FRNT is a rider owned company, not just a marketing ploy that is often used in the industry. Every pro athlete on 4FRNT's squad owns the direction of the brand, marketing initiatives, and ski research and development.

4FRNT is committed to developing the freeride skiing segment by focusing solely on freeride skiing. 4FRNT desires to be the first ski company that pops into peoples' minds when freeride is mentioned. The company was founded by a crew of professional skiers that all looked at the mountain differently. Freeride is more than just twin tips even though new school skiing is commonly associated with twin tip skis. Twin tips are there to help you ski switch, but you don't have to ski backwards. Freeride is beyond novelty and is now gaining a whole new generation of rebels who don't mind cruising around the mountain creating something from nothing, laughing, and having a good time.

4FRNT Matt Sterbenz Ski

This ski is now shaped with a progressive sidecut allowing the ski to dive into turns with ease and still maintain incredible stability at high speeds. Built tuff with a sandwich construction, full length wood core and surrounded by a full wrap oversized edge.

4FRNT Deadbolt 412 Bindings

It's not hard to imagine that mechanical engineers at many binding companies have a hard time getting their heads around the fact that ever-growing segment of the skiing population lands backward. Enter 4FRNT, the rider-owned cooperative company. According to Matt Sterbenz, co-owner and 4FRNT founding member, "VIST, an Italian binding manufacturer, approached us about selling and marketing a binding that they had made for Nordica. They wanted to get into the freeride market and needed a partner that understood the culture."

The 4FRNT Deadbolt takes elements from the Nordica binding and customizes it to suit the needs of freeriders with interesting design tweaks. Many recreational bindings feature upwards release at the toe, a function that can save knee-tweaking ACL injuries. However, the binding can also release prematurely, a disastrous event in a freestyle comp. The Deadbolt toe can be "locked-out" to disable the upwards release mechanism, if desired. Perhaps the most freeride-specific innovation is the unique dual-spring brake that will not inadvertently lower the brake arm below the sidewall of the ski on switch landings. The heelpiece also features an oversized alloy baseplate with increased thickness to support the demand on forward pressure. 4FRNT utilizes wide brakes for big-mountain twin-tips and doesn't charge extra for them.

Key advantages

Easy to use
Light weight
Takes a beating
Lockout available

DIN Setting:

(This is the setting the user inputs on the binding to control the release of the binding in a crash)

TOE PIECE SPECS
