    Crazy rails near Flatirons Mall

    East Flatiron Circle park-n-ride west bound lane off 36. A few sick rail options that's definitely worth the attempt. I have lived nearby for a couple of years and wished I had moved here years ago when I was young enough to think about trying it. Buses don't run all night, so the parking lot...

    Should I turn down my bindings for park skiing? If so how much?

    Why would you worry what other people have their DIN set at, you care too much. Let them do what they want. You do what you want. Some people would rather not pop out unless absolutely necessary cuz sometimes you can get more hurt when it does pop out. Some people want them to pop out for any...

    An intellectual ski discussion. help me out!

    Everyone is definitely different but I had almost an identical problem as you. I rode FS' and wanted a pow ski. So I got the BC WRS and I love them. I have the 04/05 FS and I find my BC's are better everywhere but in the park and moguls. They are probably a little lighter than my FS' too. They...

    Should I turn down my bindings for park skiing? If so how much?

    There is a huge personal preference here. You can find the manufacturers suggested DIN setting and figure it out from there. Its whatever you are comfortable with. I would suggest trying lower and working up rather than starting high and working down. For the people who say its ridiculous to...

    Scratch BCs

    I have the BC WRS and they sound perfect for what you are looking for. I ride almost identical to what you are saying you do and they are amazing skis. Great on groomers and in the park. They are actually just as good in the park as my old 04/05 FS' and they are better everywhere else. Brigades...

    Johnny Moseley

    Ya, Moseley helped our sport out a lot. He helped mogul skiing out hugely. They now no longer have the most restricting rule ever with no inverts, basically thanks to the dinner roll.

    Dumont vs. pipe cleaner vs. spk vs. karma for the pipe

    The SPK's definitely have a race base. And they were originally designed as the team pipe ski. Same ski as the "Foil's" dumont won the pipe comp on a few years ago. And same as the CR and Candide labs. Also the same as the 1080's withe the orange top sheet and all black bottom with just the...

    What's a good helmet?

    The baker meets standards, just the hard hat doesnt. The baker is a great helmet, its the first one I have ever worn and yesterday was my first day using a bucket but I really like that helmet, super light and everyone gave me compliments. Fits grreat with my crowbars too. Not so good with my...

    What is the perfect ski for a freestyler and a racer? (freestyle comes first)

    The SPK is the new CR lab. Same ski. Just newer and uglier graphics. Next years are sweet though.
