Can I just say that if McRae Williams took gold at X games today it would have been the biggest slap in the face to the US national olympic committee? I know it's only one comp after in the whole season, and that he simply didn't do as well in as the guys who qualified for the team overall in...

Hey NS, so I bought look pivot 14s for my filthy riches this year and I've been having some release problems, namely when I land nose-heavy. I use them with my 28.5 full tilt dropkicks from last year. I am about 5'10", and just under 140 lbs, and my DIN is currently at 6. Before anyone suggests...

So here's the deal. I have a friend who's just getting into park skiing. she began skiing last year and needs her first twintips. She's pretty short, maybe 5'5" or so. If anyone has some used skis (or new skis) in good condition that they're willing to sell cheap she would be interested. As for...

Look i know gear talk is already flooded with which ski threads, but this one is a bit different. I'm practically decided on one of two pairs, but i need to pull the trigger soon and i can't decide based on price and value. I'm about 5'9" 135 lbs and i ski almost 100% park. the only time i...

alright, i know i'll probably sound like a pussy for this, but i'm going to anyway. My friend broke his shin recently, about 6 weeks ago i think. it happened mainly because of a gradual wearing down of his shin muscles from landing backseat and shinbang, etc. to the point where he didn't have...

looking for a crewneck. especially interested in jiberish, size 2-3xl. i'd be down for xl or 4x if its a good deal. don't hesitate to offer though, i'll consider anything you have, brand/size wise. especially looking for: -dripcheck black (most interested in this one!!) -heavy (charcoal)...

looking into buying some. they're cheap and look pretty good. anyone have them? how are the lenses and quality? how do they compare to knockarounds?

I've been wanting to make some skis for the trampoline for a long time now. i know that tramp boards are out there, but has anyone ever made or used trampoline skis? what were they made of? i was thinking of some kind of foam that holds its shape well but isn't rock hard or brittle. also...

Hey ns, so a couple weeks ago i landed hard on a 5 attempt and cracked the plastic of my baseplate. It looked like no big deal, just a little sketchy, the brake was still on, and i skied 2 more weeks on them like that. Yesterday, for no apparent reason, when i dropped my skis to clip in, the...

Any year. obviously i would prefer as close to new as possible. not looking for beater skis, but ones that can be my every day park skis and still have enough life in them for the rest of this season and the next. don't need bindings unless they have fks/pivot 14s. thanks and +k for bumps/offers

i'm looking to buy some fks next year to slap on my skis for the added durability. i'm pretty skinny though, i weigh about 135 on a day when i eat a ton of food, am in all my ski gear, and am soaking wet. that combined with my boot size (28.5 fulltilt) puts me at a din of about 5.5 or maybe 6...

so next year i need new skis. i want to try to get anthems, so either size 171 or 178. i'm 5'9" but still growing probably (15 years old), so i want them to fit for awhile. currently i rock 159 k2 extremes. yeah i know, they're pretty damn short, i grew a lot. since i will be mounting them...

hey i found some cheap px12 racing bindings on evo. i know this means that there is more metal in the heel, but what about the toe? it just says full drive toe so i don't know. anyone have any idea? also, anyone have any idea how the weight compares with, say, fks 140/pivot 14? I am about 5'9"...

hey ns, i'm going to need new skis next year and new bindings too, just trying to think ahead about what i'm going to buy and make sure i get informed. i only have experience with one pair of binders, my rossi axial 2 100s. (got em cheap). i'd like to get some FKS/pivot 140s, but those are...

im selling my i/os and buying some splices. they only come w/ a black iridium lens. therefore, i am in the marked for a new or lightly used pink lens, or other low light lens maybe. i'll just buy from my local shop because i get 15% off unless someone can sell me one for 64 bucks shipped or...
