I have too many jackets in my closet, and barely wear some of them. I need to make some room. All Jackets are size Large and barely used if at all (prices include shipping to the lower 48 states):: TJ Signature Jacket: Price: $60 Like New (I think I only wore it once) / Sessions Trifecta...

Actually in today's race boots they are going back to a more upright stance. I think you'll find most race boots today have about the same ramp angle as any other boots? Not a statement of fact, I only know the race boot side. In PMTS (not PSIA) they actually stress an extremely stiff boot and...

LOL... 2-0 Wings lead series.. 5-1 on the second game..its not even close yet, when are the Avs going to start playing because right now they look like a HS team. Also, as for the goalie fights. Roy - 6' (175 - 192 lbs) Vernon - 5' 9" (155 - 180 lbs) Osgood - 5' 10" (176 - 181 lbs) Two...

Thanks for the input. If I need to change the flex tho, I'll be going to a new boot. I dont want to modify my existing boots for a softer flex. The stiffness was the reason I bought it in the first place. Thanks for the advice

I graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (5 years ago). It is the best undergraduate school (without PhD program) in the US. You can look at the rankings at US News and World Reports. I am a 5 year Chemical Engineer who works in Africa for a major oil company. A couple of things...

Hey, Im just glad for the disucssion..thats how we all learn. I have a ton to learn about freeskiing and I'll take any information I can get...however I hope people dont find me "argumentative" its just my personality to question everything and find out exactly how and why things work the way...

Yea I know.. Luckily I got a one of the 171 pairs...I checked back just to see and i noticed they only had 161's so I figured I'd update and let everyone know so they dont waste there time... early bird gets the worm!

I didnt see any Aeryx listed in the original sale. What you got?

ah ok. Yea, all resort areas are like that. Taking the advantage of charging more for convenience. Unfortunately for me I won't have time to shop for boots in Vancouver before camp because I arrive the day camp starts. I live in Southern Illinois, no shops there. However, there are a few shops...

How often do you have a "backwards and twisting falls" in racing or normal downhill skiing? Also, I made this assumption based on the fact that the higher end racing models FKS155/180 and PX14/18 all dont have the vertical toe release, hence being less desirable to freeskiers...so I was assuming...

Maybe I mispoke, but I was never racing. I have been skiing for about 10 years but "technical" skiing, or whatever you guys call normal alpine skiing versus the freestyle/all mountain you guys are. I have been trying to learn more through a system called PMTS (Primary Movement Teaching System)...

Yes, that is expected to pay that much for a boot fitting. The reason being, a proper fitting will take at minimum 2 hours and could take several hours (over the course of several days). Most bootfitters dont charge by the hour, they charge for modifications to your boot and you expect to pay...

Thanks, Is there a specific reason for this? From what Ive read the Mojo 15's are some of the best bindings this year? while I hear the FKS's appear to be some of the best period? What are the differences similarities? Or is one more specific to a park vs all mountain?

Thanks for the info. Is "shin bang" the only disadvantage of a "too stiff" of a boot? Or will too stiff of a boot prevent or make it harder for me to do certain things? The flex of the boot is relative to the person. I can still flex my doberman pro's. Im going to CoC camp in July, so maybe...

Yea I was cruising on Ebay looking for them and I decided to look on the web for any better deals and was surpised to see REI beating even the best on Ebay. The best price I could see on ebay was approximately $300/shipped, varying on bids and buy it nows... I figured I'd give NS community a...
