Published Sep 16, 2026 Gear & Equipment

Description

Gary shares the history of Ride Engine’s early custom hard-shell harness days and their core mission of refining rider equipment. We then dive into their newest product lineup—including their new retractable leash system, dedicated winging and parawing harnesses and hooks, and the new Parawing Stash Belt. Finally, Gary walks us through their new "Concept Corner," an initiative designed to gather direct feedback from the community on prototype gear to ensure real riders shape the final products before they hit the market.
