Ridge Runner 2.0 Platform

I purchased the original Ridge Runner and absolutely loved it. When I saw the 2.0 was released, I knew that I wanted it. It is so hard to choose which of the two I like best. The original is a little lighter, with slightly less foot room based on the design of how it attaches to the tree. I like that the 2.0 cams onto the tree in a more traditional fashion. The original can be a little more challenging to get a solid connection on thicker bark trees (like a pine tree) but not impossible (it may take a couple tries to get a solid cam). You honestly can't go wrong with either of the Ridger Runners.

Like several other platforms on the market, this platform is very durable and very light. Unlike many other platforms, this has a T-bar on the top. Using counter pressure between one foot on the platform and the other on the T-bar, I have been able to maneuver in a way to cover several angles that I would not otherwise have been able to cover. This is a vastly understated feature of this platform. If you are looking for a reason to go with this one over another, this is it.

Yet another home run from the team at OOAL! Thanks Matt and crew for yet another amazing product and top notch customer service!

2X sits this season & it's ? solid. Like its extra footing/step for long sits & turning, it's ? it's perfect...only gripe which has no bearing on performance is due to the larger platform it does require some enginuity to pack in/up.

Very nice platform, folds up small and fits well in my day pack. Only 4 stars since it is not as solid as my other platform but is much lighter and plenty stable, worth it.

This platform is rock solid and has plenty of foot room. Also these guys make the best products in the business and stand behind each one of them.

Great platform, bites solid and offers a very stable experience.

The Ridge Runner 2.0 is my favorite piece of equipment in my saddle setup. It’s not the lightest platform, but it is incredibly stable. It makes the sit so comfortable and opens up different sitting/shooting positions because of the size, stability, and that small upper step. I’ve used it (hard) for two seasons, and I’m 100% satisfied with the investment.

This platform has been a game changer for me. The surfaces grip nicely. It is EXTREMELY stable; it feels like I'm standing on solid ground. Takes side pressure like a champ. The upper step is great for shifting position, taking pressure off one leg, or pushing off to get a shot around the other side of the tree. Considered giving it 4 stars because it's a little heavy, but I wouldn't opt for less weight if that meant sacrificing the stability. It really is awesome. Highly recommend.

This is my first platform, I'm a bigger dude pushing 255lbs. I practiced with it and practiced with it and used it on my first hunt over the weekend. It sets so hard into the tree that it honestly feels like your standing on a concrete pier. It was set so hard that when I was coming down I un-strapped it and the teeth were still in the tree holding it on. If I'm being 100% honest, the only part I struggle with is the buckle it's hard to get it just right so it cams over but that's probably more user in-experience than the actual platform. This thing rocks, it's built like a tank and it doesn't feel that much heavier than my buddies who has a cruzr platform (also nice). When you get this you realize quick what American Made quality gets you and I'll be buying OOAL sticks for next season for sure. ^ sorry quick correction, this is my second platform I bought the hawk platform first but never even went up with it and realized it was junk and bought this. Don't waste your money elsewhere like I did
