This is the Akimbo

[treebilly]

im just curious as to how many are gonna need to be break tested for "mass" production. I can respect either route you choose. I'm sure finding a manufacturer like CMI takes a lot of pressure off and liability as well. There is also something to being able to say " I made that", that I fully understand. I've been on the fence for a while about a fully mechanical hitch, but you guys are talking me into it. If Jamie decides to go this route I'm in for a hundred as well. It'll give me an excuse to figure out PayPal.

 

[rskybiz]

I'm in if you go that route as well.

just sent one out to Dave, and got another back from Burnham. no pins!

 

[DMc]

Ha! Anticipation abounds! Looks like the holidays are coming early this year.

 

[woodslinger]

If you do decide to go the crowd funding route (no pressure) count me in.

just sent one out to Dave, and got another back from Burnham. no pins!

Glad to hear the deliver came through. Really looking forward to Dave's review, and another shot at the revised Akimbo if possible.

 

[Tommy_B]

I'd be in for 100 dollar!

 

[bstewert]

I'm in, for sure!

 

[Tommy_B]

That's over 2k by my count! Excellent!

And me

Don't forget, Rock Exotica.

Ger, nail on the head.

 

[DMc]

Had a late arriving dinner guest. Let him chew on some rope. Notice, no spring clips.

 

[pantheraba]

It looks amazing.

 

[Burnham]

Looking fine, Jaime.

I'll tell y'all...this thing works really, really nice. And that's my opinion after a few climbs on an earlier gen version! I'm sure the next gen will be even better.

 

[gf beranek]

There's no end to it, B.

 

[rskybiz]

A well refined looking tool Jamie!

 

[Burnham]

Seems not, Jer. Especially to us oldsters. More innovation in the last 6-8 years than I saw in the previous 30+. Great times to be a climber.

 

[gf beranek]

So indeed, B. Since the internet came about in the 90s developments in this trade has taken off like a giant rocket ship. Things past of science fiction are tools today. It's so amazing.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's from the aliens among us.

 

[Burnham]

I always wondered about Jaime's mohawk...


Or for that matter, Paul's English accent with the rural southern US flavoring...

Those both might be slipups made by aliens trying to pass...ya think??

 

[sotc]

I'm thinking you're onto something!

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Now its Science Friction!

 

[pantheraba]

The Akimbo LOOKS Sci-Fi....insert spooky music....roll "The X-Files".

I googled alien devices...images...I found these:

OK...the last one didn't show up....YET.
