There's a Corked 3 how-to article by Mike D. in Ski Press: http://www.skipressworld.com/ca/en/magazine/2003/vol18no3/Winter2004vol18no0319.htm

^^Strode, you've got to respect that...

Under Quick Links, have the Donator's Forum link appear all the time. i.e. It disappears when you're looking at individual messages, but is present when viewing indices and posting a reply. Problem is in ReadTopic.php4. ListTopic.php4 and PostReplya.php4 are ok.

Last year's St. Sauveur park was excellent. The halfpipe was a sight to behold. Here's a link to the Snow Park

I just watched Daron's promo video (21 Meg). Says a lot about what he can and cannot do. Good action starts about 1/4 the way in.

^ Cannabinoids like marijuana and hashish are only banned 'in competition' - 2005 WADA Prohibited Substances list.

It may be a new grab to Tanner and some of you, but Julien R-L did this 4-5 years ago in The Game.

^^^^ What is snowboarding today? The same athletes that were killing it in the Winter games were the leading contenders at X as well. Athletes that are driven to compete at the Olympic level of competition are probably not well-understood or represented here on NS.com. I hope to see skiing...

1080 S-LAB 113/79/106 @ 180 cm. (20.5 m turn radius) Denser foam core (little stiffer) Monocoque double wall (more stable and responsive in a carved turn) Race base (little faster) Lower tip and tail 1080 114/80/108 @ 161, 171, 181 cm. (19.5 m turn radius - 181 cm.)

Abma's and Backstrom's were the two standout segments for me in Yearbook. Mike D. said, in the summer, that this was probably his final segment for MSP. Abma's talents were wasted in the Warren Miller film. They showed him doing some switch powder skiing. Not much more.

^ If they were, why would they just jump in to the market? They believe they offer a better product that is more suited to the direction the sport is going. Durability seem to be the key motivator. Perfectly understandable given how technical and enormous rails and jumps have become.

Abma - 'cause he's got the ball AND the sock!

To b19119 - I get your point. I've always regarded the CR and Candide to be Salomon's response to the boutique manufacturer's offerings in terms of performance and price. Time will tell. Skogenjake - don't take it personally. I think the NS market is consistent, it's just not GROWING at any...

To answer your original question, the Candide and CR come from the LAB group. These folks are the skunkworks for Salomon who produce limited high-end products to their athlete's specifications. Candide and CR's ski have slightly modified dimensions, less tip and tail, denser PU foam, and race...

Visualization: Kick the feet up, drop the left shoulder back - HARD.

^ But would you take a 2-year high dollar fixed contract that required you to compete in x number of events, photos, and film segments per year giving exposure to your employer's product (failure to which, would result in breach and possible termination)? OR A longer term modest-dollar...

According to the Dynastar web site, there are no differences. Same construction, same materials, and same weight. Larose pro: Wood structure HMW base Spring Blade concept 37mm kick tail Sandwich / Torsion box 182 cm - 1910 grams Sidecut: 112/78/102 Troublemaker: Spring Blade concept...

You didn't say WHY you needed a stiff ski but the PR would not be in the running. Volkl Karma seems to be the flavour of the month - it's a go anywhere, do anything stick.

What did your assessment say were your areas in need of improvement? I'm having a hard time believing it's a personal vendetta against your mom...

The construction of the ski is a little different between the 185 and the 195 B3. There's an extra layer of metal on the 195 making it stiffer and more like the old XXX. I would suggest trying both, simply because they do feel and respond differently. Cheers.
