That is wrong there is Rocker to this ski it is just 210mm which is just enough for what the ski is designed for.

The Dumont and Suspect aren't the same. The Dumont has Salomons Pulse Pad Technology in the tip and tail making the ski a little stiffer. Simon likes the Pulse pad stuff because it helps the ski stay damp and is more comfortable for bigger features and sketchy landings. They do have the same...

Sorry about the poor spelling.

To change the DIN on the toe peice you look on the left toe wing and will see a flat head screw head turn it clockwise to tighten or incress DIN. On the heal peice it is inside the actually moving heal peice look at the top where the spring is. Again clockwise to increase DIN, it is a Posi-Drive...

Oh and the reason Simon likes last years ski is supposedly two reasons, Top cap construction V.S. Vertical Sidewall and the 08 ski was stiffer.

I am sorry but the Dumont and Suspect are totally diferent skis, the Dumont costs more because it has what Salomon Calls Pulse Pad Technology in the tip and tail. Pulse Pad helps reduce vibration and keep the ski feeling damp and less chattery. I have heard form sources that will remain anynomus...

If you have a high instep you should look at Tecnica and Nordica they typically have a higher instep shell. Also on the top of your foot you have two blood vessels that deliver the blood to your foot if you have a high instep you are more likely to slow the circulation faster with a boot that...

I forgot to tell you that if you don't have the proper flex on a boot for your body shape you will have shin issues. More often in a boot that is to stiff, but just also in boots that are soft.

Read your boot post from before on the question about the best boot. Intuition liners wrap your leg better certain intuition models have no tounge. Soft boots won't help you reduce "shin bang" unless you are going from a boot that is to stiff for your body shape.

Alright I am a Master Boot fitter and make my living helping people answer this question. What boot should I have if I blank (blank being the type of skiing one is doing). The boot you should have is simply the boot that fits your foot and lower leg shape the best. The best being comfort and...

I would go to a different shop, if you left after you were sized to a new boot feeling uncertain that they fit then the bootfitter is 1 of 2 things. 1. Lazy and doesn't care about you and your potential purchase or 2 he just doesn't have a solid boot fitting knowledge, or knowledge of his...

Yeah it wouldn't bend that far it would snap pretty quickly.

They are a little softer, but it isn't a soft ski it is pretty stiff. Also I am refering to the new Dumonts not the old one.

The Obsethed is a "mini" Rocker which means it still has some normal camber to it but rises up off the snow earlier in the tip and tail. I wouldn't put a barron on it if you want to ski a lot of park it adds extra weight and changes the flex underfoot, plus it is a little higher off the ski...

Careful when you bend any brake, but especailly a Jester (any marker royal brake), the plastic is super brittle and can snap in between the two screw beds. You can replace them yourself it is super easy. Salomons are easy too, just remember to line up the tabs going toward the front of the...
