    LoadImagePreview Javascript

    Is it possible to reinstate the scrollbars on the popup window? Half the time I can't see the whole image even after I maximize the window (1024x768 in my case). I assume the LoadImagePreview function is in the scripts.js library.

    Which ski camp is best for Adults

    Question is, how do you feel being surrounded by a bunch of 12-year olds? At Momentum last year, the average age was around 15. At over twice the average age, you may be intimidated OR you can feed off their energy and (attempt to) throw down. You'll get mad props if you do. From all over the...

    Great reviews DePierre. FYI, the Gun Lab is using a PU Power Foam core unlike the Foil which is now using an Isocell complex. i.e. there is no wood in either of these cores. -------- Demo days allow all skiers to try different skis to find out which ones reward their brand of poor technique...

    What is best angle to grinde edges at.

    Are you suggesting he use a 3 degree base bevel? That's really squirrely. Big Rich - there was another thread a while back with some illustrations https://www.newschoolers.com/NS2/Forums/ReadThread.php?cat_id=8&thread_id=79573. Basically, the more acute you make the side/base angle (e.g. 88...

    So I held some Foils

    ^^ OK, somebody in the previous 4 messages either hasn't ridden them (and is talking out their ass) or doesn't know how to evaluate ski performance. SOFTER than 1080? STIFFER than CR's? Jesus I mean, the CR's are noticeably stiffer than the 1080 so where does the Foil truly fall? What lengths...
