No need! We agree to disagree. My first day off in months and I'm feelin' frisky! My stand remains tho, a toe stop is a type of binding, the rule should read.."no bindings, other than lateral, single axis toe stop types" so if you're using a bushing as a toestop, at what durometer does it become mo...

A "binding" restricts vertical motion of the foot.

A "toestop" restricts lateral or horizontal movement of the foot.

Basically, if you can lift up your foot it's a toestop.

You put your foot AGAINST a toestop, you put your foot IN or UNDER a binding.

I think the toe stop thing can be regulated by: "Must not break the vertical plane" as in NOT wrapping over on top of the foot.

I don't run one, but all of the ones that I see at the races seem to comply with this.

There, done.


Now what else can I solve for you? ;)
