Ii don't know about you guys, but I am having a hard time waiting for this thing to be unveiled! I've been checking the website and Hammock Forums daily for the past four months. I saw over on HF that someone found out that its called a Ridge Runner. I'm gonna throw my money at Brandon and see if it sticks once they are for sale. It may be blind but I love my BB and imagine that the bridge will be of similar quality.

Anyone else planning on buying one?

Have read the chatter over at HF myself. Not going to get one, at least not anytime soon, that pesky cash flow thing dontchaknow.

Other than how they look, is there any benefits to a bridge vs a traditional style? Have only seen a handful of others set up on the web, to me, it looks like you pretty much lay right down the center? Or are you still lay somewhat off center like a traditional?

I use a Claytor, which is a sewn channel style and have thought about running a bar thru the channel and converting it over to a bridge style just to see what is like.

Many people are very frustrated in the rumors of this "could " be the month .
I bought a Clark flex 180 and like it a lot .
I wish Brandon the best but I and sure he is loosing sales every day by not taking payments in advance.
Great person wish him the best.

I'll have a look but am pretty sure I'l stick with my newly purchased WBBB and mambajamba.
I've burned most of my bridges throughout time anyway. :)

Brandon got his hair cut from his last YouTube videos.

Ridgerunner Setup

I love my Blackbird and don't think that I'll be getting a bridge anytime soon.

Bridge hammock, underquilt, Spindrift overcover and a tarp.

At that point, I'd stick to a tent.That's a whole lot going on right there.

But, it looks good and I'm sure Brandon put a lot of thought into the design.

I'm sure they will sell.

I have a blackbird for myself but got a ridge runner for my lady. I set it up today for the first time in the garage and took a lil nap in it. It seems great on first impression. The lynx under quilt fits amazing without any adjustment just as advertised. The pockets (saddlebags) provide plenty of space for the little things but I think I like the shelf in the BB better, time will tell on that one. The view is what sold me, its almost like being on a cot. It is narrower in the hips so lying in fetal position your knees would hang over the sides. The back lay is absolutely awesome!! It has a sort of built in headrest that seemed good for support but I would bring a pillow cause the UQ only covers to the neck. Got the quilt and hammock on one of the sales and was still expensive but the quality features and comfort will be worth it I think . BTW Im 6'2" 215lbs and it fit with a few inches to spare on both ends

Cool video by the master nutter himself. You know, I'd think about buying the ridgerunner but I'm happy with the blackbird.
