Hmmm. Link works but website doesn't let me order anything.
Did you try the "Click Here to Order" button on the main page? It let me add one to my shopping cart, anyway…

I just bought a pair from www.alphaexpedition.com last week. They shipped out the day I ordered them.

Doesn't put anything in the cart when I "Click". I'll have to try from home. The "cybernazis" at work may be blocking internet functionality.
Wow! Already listed as sold out on their site.

I got an email from the manager of maxtrax USA today and he said they have safety orange in stock (because that's what I asked about) but they were out of the mounting pins until early December..(because I asked about those as well..).. When I was on the site it allowed me to put them in my cart as well, and the items that were out of stock show that on the site..

Just to add some hate and discontent in the thread, you should all check out www.gotreads.com, and then voice your opinion on the Go Treads thread in this forum

My opinion... apples and oranges.

Would also be interested in the Group Buy if it happens.

Why would they be apples and oranges? Go treads are tractions boards, as well as maxtrax are.

It comes down to fixed vs. rigid... and on that note I'd love to see some (thorough) testing done on rigid boards vs. foldable/flexible boards.

You're surely not going to bridge ruts, holes or washouts with those... and that is the bulk of my experience needing a traction device period. I spent a night in a swamp with 1 dozen Maxtrax (we never did find one)... with your device, we'd honestly still be there. Apples and oranges.
Don't get me wrong, they could be great for the needs of many... I just don't see them replacing Maxtrax or similar based on my experience using them in different environs.
