That is what I thought. Why do they have a "boot center" mark lower than the true centre if they made the ski symmetrical? I am so confused...

I just bought the Wall online and notice that, like many modern skis, it has a "boot centre" and a "true centre" indication for mounting on the ski. I thought that the ski was symmetric and boot and true center werer one and the same? Where am I supposed to mount these? Thanks

I think Turpin doesn't like to call them "Kangaroo Flips" because he is, like many who live in Whistler, a bit anti-Australian. I heard him say something about not wanting to name something in skiing after a JAFA animal. If you don't know what a JAFA is, ask someone from Whistler.

I don't know exactly how much these guys get paid but I can tell you that the Europeans like Candide generally make a lot more because skiing is more mainstream in Europe and, as such, can attract broad, non-ski, sponsors. Advertising for, Coca Cola is worth so much more than getting paid to...

Scandies have great big mountain rippers. Have you ever heard of the Swedish Posse? Kaj Zackrisson, Sverre Liliequist, Jon Örarbäck, Andreas Håtveit, Magnus Tveitå etc. It depends what you mean by big mountain. Big mountain that focusses on mini-golf lines and newschool tricks or ripping...

Was that you who tried to piss on it?

Hahahha, this site does make me feel old. I wouldn't say I am "kicking it" just wanna improve, like you said. I am mostly a big mountain skier and do a couple of heli trips a year (in fact I am off to greenland in a week) but I like to fool around in the park on the off days. All I can do are...

hahaha, I should also say I am 31, over 6' tall and a former pro kickboxer, so I may be heavy but not that fat (although age and a desk job is catching up). I know skis kill the bounce, but I have seen small skis and snowboards used on tramps for grabs. I still don't know if a regular tramp...

I know the olympic ones are best but I am wondering if I can do basic inverts and grab practice without going all out and buying one. I would rather get by on a smaller one, both for cost and storage (it will be at a mountain house and have to be stored in winter...)

I just bought a house with a big enough yard to put in a trampoline. I want it for trying to learn inverts and might even put de-edged skis on it to practice grabs. I also need one that can at least take me, and I am 200lbs. I was thinking about 3m by 2m. Do I need a bigger one? Is a...

That 90 degree thing is a throwback to when skis were straight and stances higher. An aggressive modern stance want a shorter pole, it helps to stay over the ski when you are in the steeps. one size smaller than 90% for big mountain. You only want longer poles when hiking. If you are touring...

I am a solid skier was/am a NS beginner. I slid my first rail at HN 2 years ago, and went to learn grabs and spins. Sure some of the kids can throw stupid big tricks but watchin and learing from it is half the fun. I wouldn't say it is intimidating, just got to keep in mind that they may be...

In an investment bank in Tokyo

errr, it is exacly 409.9 USD based ont the exchange rate this morning. I am unlucky enough to have a job where I see the yen dollar alllll day.

The 2 skis that Armada sent to the dealer in Japan were sold in the first week. I ordered mine on the internet from the US and they came in 2 days,

Here is the site to the shop I saw the skis in. They are not fakes, this is the official line distributor for Japan. http://store.yahoo.co.jp/akibasports/anthem.html 47250 yen is about 410 usd

I just got mine mounted up and are taking them out this weekend...

I was at high north session 1 and 2 last year and I am 30. It was fine. There were all ages in both camps and the coaches/diggers are all old enough to drink with. Actually, even being 30, hanging out with the kids was fun. I wouldn't worry about an adult camp.

For anyone that cares, I was just out shopping in the "ski shopping district" in tokyo and lots of shops were stocked with the Line Anthems. It is probably expensive to try and order these skis from Japan but it suggests that Kiss's lawsuit may only apply to the US and, if you are desperate to...

Bros are sick but not really twins, so I left them out...
