VooDoo Crash Pad model(s): Color: The VooDoo Royale - Gold, and the Highball 5000 - Blue

# of years I've used VooDoo Pads: I've used VooDoo pads since Frank and Gina started making them. I've been using their holds since I worked for them in high school and I've been training on them ever since. I love the crimp sets and the pockets, they help me train and prepare for places I'm going and problems I want to try.
About me: I kick ass. I'm just a big hairy American winning machine.

Favorite bouldering area: Hueco and Cherry canyon. Which one's better and where do my wife and I own land -- Hueco.

What I love most about my VooDoo Pad(s): I've put so much wear and tear into these pads and they still kick ass. If it wasn't for how thick the foam is I don't think I would have done nearly as many problems by myself. It’s so hard to find people to go to your projects with, but with a couple voodoo pads you don't need anyone else there. With my VooDoo pads I never hesitate to fall because I know what’s under me.

A few VooDoo Innovations

Environmentally Responsible
The original environmentally responsible urethane climbing hold: VooDoo holds are made with a bombproof semi elastic mix. Our specially formulated polyurethane mix is non TDI, non mercury and our pigments are lead free, creating a safer climbing hold for the buyer and the manufacturer. After 15 years of working with urethanes and understanding all of the benefits we’re happy to see other hold companies are finally switching to urethanes.

Pure Base Technology
VooDoo created a unique manufacturing process that allows us to laminate a pure, semi-flexible base (comparable to the consistency of a modern skateboard wheel) to the standard core material of our holds. The advantages:
*Semi-flexible base adjusts to the surface contours of climbing walls
*Softer base creates more friction between the hold and the wall, dramatically reducing spinning holds.
*Improves the safety and durability of our holds by allowing the edge of the hold to flex rather than chip off and create ugly and sometimes dangerous sharp edges.
*Pure Base does not alter the shape or the texture of the climbing hold, and has been tested to withstand the common cleaning solutions used by climbing gyms across the country.

Dual Texture holds
VooDoo was the first to create dual texture holds and we are still the best at it. The slick texture forces the climber to use the textured gripping surface on the hold which requires more accuracy. Dual texture holds are many course setters’ favorites because they make it difficult to cheat a move.

Hollow Back holds
VooDoo revolutionized the hold industry by inventing the hollow back hold. The hollow backs make our holds lightweight and easier to handle while setting routes. By using less material we keep the cost of the hold and shipping down.

Sliding bolts
Another VooDoo innovation, with a sliding bolt there are more options to use existing t nut locations, allowing you to slide the bolt where you need it. Two attachment points make it so the bigger holds can’t spin.
