bases were getting bent and stuff years before --> then came the stiffy plates and bones --> then came thicker beefier plates ---> now that materials are better and the base is not so blasted wide they can now go back to baseless and get rid of the weight and add a bit more responsive feel between rider and board
and thus we come full circle, but at the same time find ourselves in a new era too. The same happened with closed-toe boot tech, four hole mounting, multi fins, and some might even add flex into the category too.
you may not teach an old dog new tricks BUT for sure you can teach old tech new tricks

as for the LF limited 09 boots... i think i remember hearing on another thread that they plan to make that ltd footbed the standard on all footbeds for 2010?? If i am right, then you LF fans should be quick to get your 2010 gear a year early
