Double switchblade?


I've been checking out the switchblade device for boarding on ice and it looks so cool.

Question for anyone that's used one - were you able to make sharp enough toeside turns before the toe edge of the board rubbed the ice? Would a second switchblade on the toe edge of the board result in better performance?

I think having second Switchblade on front will be solution for you to do toe side turn ,,,,, also that will make you board more unsafe ..... easier to catch with front of board when you don't want it .... and when you catch it .... its a blade ..... will hold to the ice pulling you over .... not as pleasant as snow ......
There is maximum of 1 inch adjustment for blade revel under you board .... thats not enough to make topside turn with switchblade on you heel side
