If you truly need a "Floater", this is the ONLY one specifically designed for the harshest of conditions and will take it, and not built around existing marginal parts out of convenience.:yes:

If you are looking to solve all associated problems inherent of the semi-floater design, I recommend THE GMR. JMO

How many miles and races?

Im going to keep this short because I do not want to thread hi-jack but here is one of our clients with well over 60 hard autocross runs and thousands of miles on the GMR setup. :)

Yep, when I woke up this morning my goal was to tarnish a company I know nothing about. If you don't understand the reasoning for REAL WORLD TESTING, your opinion isn't worth the internet space it just took up. What is your opinion based on their pal? Your engineering degree at Wal Mart or seat time?

Always a kid in the crowd that hates.....when I was youger it was a kid that rode a "Huffy", I then sported a Diamondback for it's strength/lightness. He raced at the local BMX track all the time and had a superioriority complex, he finally showed to the track a bunch of us kids had built out in the desert....well to make a long story short..... his bike broke and he never saw anything but the back of our mullets! Go figure....with all that official track experience and all? Hey.... you did'nt happen to ride a Huffy as a kid did you? ;)

Proof is what I'm looking for, good to hear it's real world experience.

JMO, much respect to Jason for his ingenuity, design and commitment to bring it to market. Seriously. Donnie's a madman - check out his pic of the entire housing being turned down on the lathe - Badride is a committed customer and I admire that as well.

You OTHO make claims above that really need to be substantiated in my mind. I'm not sure it's the 'lightest' on the market, it's not proven the existing options are marginal, and it certainly is not the cheapest...just ask Dust off Steve on that one. BTW, what exactly are the 'inherent problems associated with semi-floater design'??

One of the things buyers in today's market look for is extensive R&D, longevity of the vendor and a proven design that offers advantages over other options. I like Jason (alot) and hope that his product/company is successful and proves to be a market leader, but one thing I'm looking for is a bit more real world testing and will not buy based on your opinions presented as fact. I do hope your assumptions prove to be correct and I'll get in line for one of Jason's kits. :cheers:
