I really don't get the point of having two separate damping circuits. It just strikes me as unnecessary complication and weight and expense. I'd be interested if they made a streamlined, cheaper version with one set of adjusters and without the toggle switch. A more traditional climb switch that firms up the LSC by some non-adjustable amount would be fine, but I don't need that either.
More importantly it would drop some weight. Those things work well but are a little pigly wiggly
That too, I don't know why I didn't think of that.
The thing is, they're kind of heavy.
Dropping that extra circuit could lighten it up a bit as well.

You should bring this sort of useful insight to my ski thread.
I'll be impressed when they design a wheel to switch from 27.5 to 29 on the fly.
That's been around for a while. Just let the air out of your 29 wheel. It'll roll slower and everything too.
Yeah but that doesn't add cost or redundancy.
I'm looking for a product that is expensive, heavy, and has unnecessary features.
It could even be integrated with those convertible helmets and bring up the chin bar when pointed down!
After dropping into my descent yesterday with my shock locked out, I can no longer laugh at the idea of integrating dropper height with shock function.
My last TWE I had the shock locked out for the whole road section.
Whoops...
a few years ago in Moab I shuttled friends for laps of Dave's trail and first lap one guy was locked out. 
Did that on a run down Bromont a few years ago on the old Banshee. But figures, it was the Fox 36 Van that blew its bladder out on that run.a few years ago in Moab I shuttled friends for laps of Dave's trail and first lap one guy was locked out.
Nice things like traction, suspension and control.
While we're at it, see if he can come with a layout and color anodizing theme that isn't the design equivalent of HEY FUCKING LOOK AT THIS PUSH SHOCK! I'M TOTALLY A PUSH SHOCK!! CAN YOU TELL THIS IS A SHOCK MADE BY PUSH!!!!?????
as someone who lives near and rides in the hell hole that is the center of the pivot cycles cult, this is spot fucking on. regardless of component, it must be expensive, it must be noticeable from no less than 30 feet away and there must be a pack of them.
edit to clarify - the riding isn't the hell hole. the over abundance of decked out pivots creates a hell hole.

Boston? given the numbers, I just assumed pivot didn't sell any bikes outside a 20 mile radius of south mountain in AZ.I didn't know you were in Boston.
It's like a blast zone.
You're at ground zero. Less spatter the further out, but still some very real shrapnel.

Add Evil in Seattle to that list.
A couple months ago I had a guy on a Wreckoning try to dissuade me from dropping into a trail that I've ridden probably literally 100 times because he thought it would be too much for me to handle on my hardtail.
my curiosity lies with how long the toxic fallout will last. I miss the days of understated turners confidently cruising past broken cannondales.
I heard there was an aggro ellsworth clique in laguna beach.
Guy up on the top of OTG trying to tell me and others how we can't ride down the trail clipped in and how we gotta use flats.Add Evil in Seattle to that list.

Kinda whupped his ass, but no big deal. Some good local riders making a lot out of not-a-lot of travel though.
Maybe your Dentist was looking out for you.
Bell is designing a chin bar mount for the new Super DH. Will mount to your bike. Same could be done to hold the air shock. MOUNT ALL THE THINGS ON YOUR BIKE
