I can read thru them lines....my dad had the old limb and I had the windwalker in the 90s. Really fired up hes bringing them back out!I wouldn't put a limit on Mark's spirit to walk on wind or go out on a lem to make something old new and improved over there at Treehopper!
Heard of them but got in the hunting game after they were discontinued. Beside the weight, what were some of the reason they were good?
I have to disagree on the seat comfort. I spent many many hours in a windwalker and always found the seat more comfortable than any of the lone wolf I've had. I've also never had a kick out and found mine to be pretty quiet, even when the Temps were in the teens. I did have an old straight slat limit that popped like mad, but never had any real issues with the expanded mesh windwalker.They were the stand to have before lone wolf came into existence. It was the only decent mobile solution back then. That was also before climbing sticks. So you had screw in steps and a loc-on (spirit, windwalker, limit)…. the seats were absolutely terrible on them put all sorts of pressure on your sciatic nerve. Creaky poppy and kick outs were not uncommon. If they release the same stand without significant changes they will fail for sure…again.
Just curious, how tall are you? I feel liek because the seat was kind of low, and my legs are so long from my foot to my knee, I wasnt sitting at 90 degrees and it actually cups the back of my leg quite nice. I can see if you were shorter and your feet either werent planted right on the platform or were 90 degrees or over in the bend of your leg it could be uncomfortable.Ooof… man I hated that front bar on the seat. It would murder me. maybe it wouldnt bother old me.

Just like saddles and everything else, body shape and size comes into play big time IMO.
Huh, I'm 6'3"...maybe i'm all legsI am 6’-4”

I honestly think their failure was just that they were before their time. Kind of like the assasin. I think people in today's mobile market will love them and it will be a good option for a lot of people.
We had a member on here that bought almost every single Windwalker that hit the classifieds the last couple years, I sold him 2, super nice guy, I have no idea how many he must have bought, it didn’t matter what forum if a Windwalker hit the classifieds I would see his name and it would be sold lol, I always thought the only attraction of these things was to be mobile and only one or two would be enough to own lol, Windwalker fever I guess lol.There went the used market
