I'm so happy I got in on the ground floor with the SAKA! I bought one before they were retailed to the Arb Stores. Saved me $50, thanks Richard!

Good job Yo Yo!

Thank you

 

[WaitakKauri]

yes, very good job yoyoman. I'm impressed at your determination and investment of time and funds to develop your invention, the SAKA, and bring it to (self?) production and retail sale. You should be very proud of these accomplishments whilst climbing, producing videos and (presumably) keeping a day job and some resemblance of a personal life.

I'm impressed. Should we ever cross paths and climb someday, my shout for a nice cold beer when back on the ground!

 

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

Very kink of you, thanks you and yes, let's climb. Love to watch true experts in their field.

Sounds great, though I'm not a climbing expert. Happy to talk IT though, that's my field of expertise

 

[Dave Rohach]

Wow! Is that a joke or is that this guys real attitude? Either way, not cool at all! Maybe telling folks "Fuck You" is his expertise!

hi dave, sorry, must be the way I typed, but nothing but good words here from me. I've been rec climbing a year and I don't consider myself expert which was what I was trying to communicate. no attitude intended.

cheers

 

[Dave Rohach]

All good, Bro! I just didn't know where that was coming from. Shit happens, all is good here. Just doing some venting! [emoji41]

Hard to tell sometimes if that smiley face is a thumbs up or finger up

 

[TimBr]

And all of my life I thought people were just trying to tell me "nice job".

 

[RajElectric]

You're numba one!

 

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

You're numba one!

Or maybe just average as you are right there in the middle.

Richard,

Once you get the SAKA dialed in I understand you recommend an Ashley Knot. What do you do with all the excess bungee? Just trim it off?

Yeah Steve, just trim off the excess. How do you like the saka compared to the Haas?

 

[monkeylove]

Since his Haas is on Treebay, I'm thinking he likes it better.

 

[Steve Connally]

Haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. Hopefully tomorrow. The haas is great but can't keep the foot loop snug. Also it's anchored on my chest teather and to some extent puts negative pull when trying to advance up the line. The haas was a game changer for me. I love the haas but I'm a gear junkie so buying and selling doesn't really represent how I feel about a piece of gear.

 

[monkeylove]

Admitting you have a problem is the first step Steve.
