Whaddup whaddup Been riding Vs for a few seasons but the edge blew out, so I'm looking to get a second pair of skis similar to my favorite ski of all time which was the OG (pre-2020 redesign) Chronic. I know Line is dropping the new Chronic 94/101 next season and I'm considering copping, but...

I've been rocking Vishnu Wet+ the last two years and love em, best park skis I've ever owned. I'm now looking for a do it all ski to take with me on trips out west. This pair's main focus would be bigger mountain lines/pow skiing and such, with park thrown in here and there. I know what Vs are...

Since the Cult forum is gone, figured I'd start up a thread to gather everyone on NS that still inlines to let us talk about all things blading. I'm in Cleveland and the scene here is honestly sick, it's gotten me so stoked to skate again. Rolled around a park yesterday for the first time in...

Whaddup NS, Earlier today I was inline skating and I had a thought... Has a a company built frames that act like skis? Frames that give you the same edge control on rails that we have on skis? I drew up some shitty concepts of what I'm imagining: Normally the frame is very narrow compared...

My boots fits amazingly for the last few seasons, but this year I'm noticing they're not quite as snug and I'm getting some bad tendonitis in my achilles because of it. I've been cranking the tightness up as much as I can, but it feels to me like the liners are just packed out. Is there any way...

Was having this debate with some friends, but do pros detune their comp skis underfoot for slopestyle? I said they definitely do, but the argument was made that the rails are so slick on slope courses that they may not need to detune. Add in that slope course jump sections can get firm and icy...

Any Northstar locals know what the parks are lookin' like? Fully built? Gonna be out there next week just wanna know what o expect.

Trying to figure out what skis to grab for the upcoming season and looking for a dedicated park ski (~88-90mm underfoot). Want something light weight that can handle jumps, and preferably something with a good amount of pop. My favorite park ski ever was 2016 Chronics so keep that in mind...

Sorry if this has been asked before, been outta the loop over the summer and am wondering if there's going to be an equivalent to the Magnus this season from ON3P? Was looking at getting Magnus 90s but not sure what to get now

Was just in PC for a few days last week for the second time and it's just wild how many pro skiers you will see there on any given weekday. The ski scene there in general is insanely good and much larger than anywhere else I've been. How did PC end up becoming the park skiing hub of North...

At some point in the 2010s either Chris Laker, Chris Logan, or Alex Bellemare threw a lazyboy dub cork. I'm like 99% sure it was done on the first jump in either X-Games or Dew Tour, but for the life of me I can't fine the clip. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Anyone have experience with the Vishnu Wet+? I'm currently looking for a fairly rockered, lightweight ski that's flexible but not a straight up noodle and the Wet+ looks perfect. Currently riding Armada ARV 96's so I'm curious what the flex is like on the Wet+ vs. the ARVs. Other skis I'm...

Hey all, just wanted to post an update on the ACL/meniscus journey. I blew up my knee in February and have been grinding it out in the gym ever since. A few days ago I finally retuned to snow and got some ultra mellow park laps in. I definitely don't have the confidence I did pre-injury, but I...

I had been skiing the 2016 Chronic for a few seasons until they were stolen last year. I wanted to just get new Chronics since I absolutely loved them, but the new redesign seemed too different for my tastes. I ended up getting ARV 96's because I felt like they are very similar to the old...

What's up NS? For the past two seasons I've been making long sleeve shirts for skiers and I figured I'd post 'em here in case anyone is interested. I don't wanna call this a company or anything, as it's more just a fun side hobby for me, but I hope to continue coming up with shirts/expand my...
