Id hope for the BRCA to not allow them - which id propose and attend AGM to vote on.

I think you kinda got the wrong end of the stick there mate. Maybe i didn't make the point clearly.
I'm pretty sure though that if you had a shock absorber that behaved exactly like the full sized ones do only scaled down, then it would out perform any shock with a simple piston with some holes drilled in it. (even one that is well dialed in)
okay, so you may have to re write the laws of physics or something to prove it. but hay, it a hypothesis. Lets not take things out of context.
Actually I would vote the same way. If some magic shock arrived on the seen that were very very expensive it would make the high end of the sport inaccessible. which is not.. well, sporting.
As i said earlier, I think a better solution is possible with less than half a dozen easily manufactured parts and be inexpensive.
The design is quite simple and would allow me to adjust the shocks in the same way as usual and have some additional options.
The only big difference would be using bump stops to cushion landings instead of using pack.
