theres like 2000000 different scratches by now, which ones?

if one of our techs fucks up a customers skis (not purchased in the shop) the tech eats it. we've only blown one mount in the three years ive been there, and it was a naxo binding that we didnt have the template for, and the guy bought them off ebay and the paper template that should have been...

haha those bacons are my babies. i get the sneaking suspicion that outside of using the ghettos in the pipe, my other skis will see a lot of neglect

when you flex the boot, are you flexing the whole upper, or is the back of the cuff staying in place? if the cuff is staying in place, v cuts will help let you get better flex out of the boot. but before doing that (as its permanent) pad the tongue and give that a try.

i have mine mounted -3 or -4 from center, its been awhile since i mounted them. either way, in that ballpark rules, theres just enough tip to prevent them from diving but balanced enough to spin on

i was thinking about picking up an additional ski to put touring bindings on, altho along the same footprint (prophet 100s? im a bit of a line whore)

very little. its easier to get technical on rails with chronics because of the narrower waist, and they rip all mountain. that being said, they are much less playful, but amongst the burliest of constructions, so you win some, you lose some. i love anthems, i rode them all last year, and...

im just thinking it makes it easier to get places, plus its something different to try. and thanks for all the advice guys, im prolly gonna go that route.

I've owned/own a lot of skis, demo'ed a tone more, and groped, fondled and stroked as many as possible, and there have been very few I hated. Most of them havent been twins (fuck salomon streetracers, forever) but i was wondering how everyone else's experiences have been. The only twins i've...

get new goggles. theres nothing less helmet compatible, or gayer, than wisdoms.

so I have a few sets of skis, and a few sets of bindings, now im not sure which pair to put where. skis: line bacons, blends, anthems, rossi ghettos. bindings: sth16 (white) tyrolia peak 15 (x2) rossi fks course (geze toe, 15 din) look tt8.0 (plastic fks style turntable) the sths and peaks...

try them in the cold, and if they still arent stiff enough, take them back to the shop and get them riveted.

i like the new lange banshee, full vibram sole, plus all the shock absorption you see from everyone else. the nordica ignitons are nice too. go find out what fits your foot the best and see if theres a freestyle version of it.

exact same shells, spark has a lower grade polyether (plastic) for the shell, a bit less shock absorption, lower grade buckles, no cuff alignment, thinner power strap, i think i loses the power strap, and a lower grade liner (more open cell foam that feels great for a day or two then packs out...

lords or czars. i wasnt a huge fan of how the czars skied, bit squirrelly. the czars on the other hand road epic, but might be a bit too wide? u should be ok with them, but its a personal preference. the gun wouldnt be bad either, that kinda splits the difference between the two, but is more...

whatever fits his foot. either way it doesnt matter, theyre all made of mafrin, which is the cheapest plastic you can make a book out of, it doesnt grind well, or hold a stretch well. plus the liner is gonna suck more than a bit

px18s are the burliest bindings out there right now. jesters arent too shabby, theres some metal, and some very solid plastic resins (that can be just as strong as metal) but it pales in comparison. i have jesters on my blends, but havent skied them yet, but i have rossi 200xxl frees on my...

the bsl of the full tilts is going to be shorter but the fit is the same. they use really short heel and toe lugs to help keep the weight down apparently. i like the full tilts a bit more than the kryptons, lighter, a true progressive foward flex, interchangeable tongues, just seems like a...

i agree with the previous, bacons for something softer, blends for a bit stiffer. also might want to check out the nordica zeros, 103 under foot and symmetrical, dope all mountain.

brigades if hes not doing a ton of park, blends if hes doing a bit more. brigades are def a medium-stiff flexing ski. he only outweighes me by like 40 pounds and i love them. maybe mojo 94s or prophet 100s? even stiffer, but def not as good in the park,
