    Completely Mobile setup?

    I have no room in my backyard for any sort of setup, but I do have a park behind my house. Is there a way I could build a completely removable and storable setup which I could take out there every day? Does anyone have any plans?

    When did Skiing become Gangster?

    I know the thug look is quite popular right now, maybe even becoming less and less popular, but when did skiing change from one piece suits to XXL tall tee's? I know this only really covers a small population of the skiing community but I'm curious to know where the gangster look originated...

    Splitting Armada base from topsheet - Problem?

    Just recently after skiing for a week on my new El reys I noticed that the base and edge had kind of split apart from the upper part of the ski. It is directly under the mounting screws and my theory is that the guy who mounted my ski's had not drilled the hole deep enough for the screws and...

    Edge Detune - Does it effect normal skiing?

    Looking at detuning my edges, Mountain hasn't opened the park yet but I want to detune before they open it. Is a detune worth it and will it effect my skiing elsewhere on the mountain?

    I had always been told that Aluminium Poles were designed to snap under a certain weight to prevent yourself from being impaled by them in a serious crash, is this true?

    GetBoards.com is it that bad?

    I just recently ordered some skis from getboards that will ship to Australia with priority shipping, I also stumbled upon some newschoolers threads saying that you should never order from them and it'll take ages. I'm shitting my pants about this at the moment because i need the skis by June the...

    Looking at purchasing some new boots. I went to two places which sell boots, the first being a specialist boot fitter who go through a two hour process to find the perfect fit for you giving you all sorts of orthotics and liners.
