Any special dumping/impact system for softer landings?

• We want you to experience a new level of comfort with our Bare Foot Technology. B.F.T. is an extension of your own leg. It harnesses the force of your momentum and seamlessly transfers power to your board. Through our collaboration with Vibram® we have created a new 5-part outsole that supports, dampens, and conforms without getting in the way of your natural ability. B.F.T. is designed through a collaboration with Vibram®, a world recognized leader in rubber traction soles.
• The heel OC Kush is now larger and encapsulates your heels like a baseball in a glove giving you 360 degrees of Kush. The new OC Kush in the forefoot is designed to absorb then disperse impact  in your feet after hitting and landing a massive jump or even standing and walking for a prolonged time.
