So I have a bit of a track record of destroying skis quickly and I don’t understand why. Most recently, my icelantic nomad 95s are on their deathbed from edge damage/ base separation after only around 40-50 days of park skiing. Is it normal for a ski (specifically one known for its durability...

Found this absurd listing on ebay for 2012 iron maidens/sights. Should this person be checked into a mental ward or do these skis actually have some decent collectors value?? I have a beat up pair if anyone wants to pay me $1000 for them take it or leave it

So I’ve had problems with fogging on every single goggle I’ve ever tried (lineminer, spy ace, smith squad XL). Basically as soon as I start to get a bit heated up, the lense starts to fill in with fog from the top down. Happens every single time, and no anti-fog coating or other remedys seem to...

Wanting a light, fun ski to use exclusively in the park- should be able to hit jumps, butter nicely, all around feel good in the park and in bounds. Bouncing mainly between ARV 86 and vishnu wet or wet + but I’m completely open to other options. Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

It feels pretty comfortable and easy coming around but I lose the landing every time https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/999629/trim-7D283E50-8446-4DCA-A486-F27991E30547-MOV https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/999630/trim-54DB6F67-C766-4125-8912-C7B471E3ABE0-MOV Should I just do...

My surface The Uppers have gotten super beat after 3-4 months in the park, and I want to make them last as long as possible (don’t tell me to just throw them out) so I bought some p-tex, a bit of copolymer and 24” of replacement edge. The plan for the more major edge goes like this: I’ll just...

Alright I’ve spent the last 30 mins at least reading every single “my full tilts are too loose” thread on ns and a chunk of time googling things too and still didn’t get good answers so hoping to find that here thx. stick with me it’s a kinda long one. ive got some 2011 FT drop kicks that are...

After my most recent pair of park skis broke (173cm K2 Sight x Iron Maiden) I’ve been looking for a beefier, sub $300 option to replace them. Some things I’m looking for are: a bit more length (175-185cm) and width (95-105mm) so that my skis can finally be competent outside of park and soft...

I was using my backyard rail with my 'good’ skis one day when the brake suddenly just fell off. (Usually I’d be using another pair that has brakes removed). How do I fix this?? The screws got ripped out of the ski and probably a bit of dirt is jammed down there now, so if I just put screws back...

it seems like everyone with 2 legs can learn all 8 on a backyard setup, but its just not working that way for me. Even though I have spent around 100-200 hours on my rail in the past year, I've only learned 3-4 new tricks and had a minor boost in confidence, plus I simply feel slower to progress...

I want to make my Kinco leather mitts more waterproof because they get completely waterlogged some wet days. I already used the stuff that comes with the gloves but it didn’t do much. Suggestions?

I’ve heard many good reviews on the attack 13 as a park binding, so when I looked on evo to get a pair for myself, I saw that the attack 11 was slightly cheaper. Since I likely won’t crank dins above 11 ever I figured I should save a bit of money and I just get the 11s. Now, I’m seeing that...

Looking for some baggy (L-XXL is perfect), well insulated pants. Not looking to spend over $70, pm me what u got thanks

When I try to back 2 off anything I just catch my noses on the rail when I’m at 90 and it ruins my monentum so I land switch. Do I need to pop off harder? Hit the rail faster?
