Thanks for the feedback sir =) And welcome home! You have a valid point but one I have thought about. The bracket only sticks out past your binding about 3/4" and really any time you are riding you will have the bag on it. Your worst case scenario where you either come up short or clear the landing and land flat would end with your hand hitting your binding and maybe the bracket too. And the bracket is beveled on top so its not like you're riding with a buzz saw blade between your legs =D

If you land flat and butt check instead, your ass will hit your heels before anything would touch the bracket. Really the only way i see something hitting the bag/bracket is your own foot while you are skating until you get used to having less room to put your foot on your stomp pad.


Regarding your idea of having it tied to the binding. Someone tried and it never got off the ground. Some of the issues is that the bag will flop around like crazy while riding without some sort of support system (bracket), and their version was not detachable unless you reversed your binding straps which was not really a solution. And it wasn't water proof...which kinda makes the whole idea a dud.

I do have an idea on making a bag with no bracket work, and its covered in our patent..but i think what we have is our best foot forward. If it goes well and we are making money we will release lots of other models. hard bags, the cloth only version like you mentioned. We will also be doing a clothing line. What do you think of our logo? Something you would wear on a hoodie? Sniper scope targeting a tribal snowflake.

As for smell proof. The bag is literally air tight, you toss it in the water and it floats, squeeze it really hard and u can force some air out but that's about it. So from a weed standpoint its smell proof till you open it.
