In-Depth Tech Video: Black Diamond ski boot testing and QA
Go behind-the-scenes with Black Diamond's R&D crew and see how we ensure that our ski boots live up to your highest expectations-and our highest standards. Whether we're testing boot shell impact resistance, lateral and medial flex or our newly redesigned ski/walk mode mechanism, every aspect of every boot is subjected to extremes far beyond real-world use.
Despite our best efforts, the ski/walk mechanisms on our freeride boots during the past two years have not been as durable as the boots themselves. For 2010 we have a completely re-engineered ski/walk mode mechanism that will stand up when it counts.

Thanks for this guys. Glad to see you're taking this so seriously. Ever since a friend got hosed (and by "hosed" I mean: multiple bone fractures throughout his leg, massive knee injury, lucky to be alive) by faulty toe tech-inserts (i.e. dynafit-style toe inserts) made by a competitor of yours last spring on Mount Washington NH I've wanted to see stuff like this from every manufacturer.

This is great. Thanks again!
