I wanted to buy some spare parts from these guys. And their website is not online anymore. Emails are bouncing back. What happened?

I've heard the owner is quite sick. Hopefully he recovers.

Sorry to hear, I wish him the best. This company really brought the original and best sliding bar to the masses. I still use a sliding bar due to the Jaystore Dynabar.

For a while their website listed the business for sale. I guess no one ended up buying it. I'm sad to see them go. The FTC 2.0 harness and the slider bars are my fav.

Sad to see small business go away

Check out 321 kiteboarding. I just had a discussion about this a few weeks back with Roman the owner. He still has some parts.

I'm not surprised however. It was obvious that he was a good designer but not a good businessman.
