So, how about an update? What's going on with the development, sourcing, etc? As in, what's your updated projection for "when"?

I appreciate you raising these questions because there are quite a few people wanting to know as well, and I wish I had something more concrete to share with you at this point. We've had a few frustrating delays the past few months, and right now we're shooting for Spring. Still pushing hard to keep them made here in the States which has been the primary challenge, but the growing list has helped us increase the projected batch size which is starting to bring the cost down. We're working things out as fast as we can, and are hoping to share a release date in the near future. Thank you for following up with me, and for your continued patience with us as we work it out

We're working to be able to offer them at or below the 200/pair mark while keeping them completely manufactured here in the US

Just signed up on your site.

I need a set of these. If you don't get them to market soon I'm going to make my own set!

Don't be a jerk!

I'm not going to make them and sell them (that would be unethical and I imagine he has a patent on it) , it would be for my own use. Just giving him a little incentive to push his progress along.

Besides, if I did make a set for my own use I'd be doing what car guys as well as manufacturers have done for years. You see something someone has done, be it a race car, hot rod or what ever and adapt that idea. Do you have a problem with guys that build their own race ramps using 2 x 10's? How about guys that do their own maintenance?

And what if this product never comes to market due to a verity of possible reasons (lack of funding, can't get testing certified, insurance, failure to find production at reasonable costs, etc)? How long do we wait for it?

I think it is a great product and would buy a set today if they were available. I, and I imagine many others, have an immediate need for them. He is hoping for early spring product release which is not too far away so I'll wait but they are not available by mid-year I will most likely build something similar for myself.

Just got my RennStand on July 13th.
Quality and workmanship are outstanding.
I haven't tried it yet (too darn hot out).
