And I went on this mission to figure out what kind of feet to use for snowboarding and, um, came to find out that, uh, that there were no snowboard feet out there.

You know, it's not something that you can just go to a shop and buy a snowboard.

Gosh, this was like 14 years ago.

Probably actually longer.

This was 16 years ago.

I'm still, I'm in the exact same leg set up I was in 16 years ago.

Really?

So, yeah.

I mean, even though there are, there have been advancements for sure with the military and you see a lot of these bionic prosthetics coming out.

I mean, first of all, so far there's really, there's nothing that mimics the human dynamic body, you know, and there's a lot of research that goes into arm prosthetics because

You know, people who lose their hands, you do so much with your hands that they are putting a lot of research into, you know, people being able to even feel, you know, hot and cold with their fingertips or hold a baby or.

You actually have some kind of feeling there.

With leg prosthetics, there actually has been a lot of advancements if you're above the knee.

Just in the last probably 10 years, they developed computerized knees that think like a thousand times a second and know what movement you're going to do and want to do.

So that's amazing.

But when you're below the knee, it's pretty basic.

I mean, there is some computerized ankles out there.

I've tried one.

I went to MIT and tried these awesome biomechanical ankles.

And I will say certain things were amazing that I missed there.
