Your mom was pretty mediocre last night...(sorry, I just had to, heh) Why do you have to be "progressive" to get a pro model? Please explain? Isn't it enough if you're better than maybe 99,999% of the whole skier population? Think about it: Coombs (R.I.P) has a pro model. He didn't do any...

Ski binding high back = greatest innovation for all those back-seat drivers! (please, post first, then smoke crack...:))

Surfing? Skiing is pretty old too IMHO, like couple or thousands of years or something? And btw. big mountain/powder skiing has a lot of style aspect too. I can see alot more surfing/snowboarding influence and in general new ways to ski in the future with the latest (and upcoming?) gear...

Wait. "Incorrect" in FREEskiing? Did I read that right? It's either butter or just 180 slide before the take-off (if you don't happen to press your tail/nose). Who cares anyway?

I've done those thousands of times. It's just called a backseated landing...and a fucked up jump. Landing on your tails. If that sequence would be a straight air his position would look really bad. Sitting on the tails, not launching from the jump properly. OK, it's a bit different thing when...

Hmmm. Maybe true about parks. But there's some pretty decent lines to be had. This is somewhere up north for example: http://www.biglines.com/photos/blpic41168.jpg (it's maybe just not that easy to get there! ;) )

Ps. One other thing too...some people might even think newschool skiing as a "separate" sport but have you noticed almost all the new freestyle's biggest stars come from the countries which have strong (and old) ski culture: USA, France, Sweden, Canada, Austria (lately)... I guess in...

Wait a few years. or maybe just a year or so. Iisko "Lisko" Heiskanen was 2nd in Orage Europe Open pipe last year. Just behind Candice, Simon Dumond third...(so here you go). Btw. he goes big! There are couple of others too. They're just probably too drunk (or just don't care) to compete and...

Jasna, Slovakia is about three hours from Budabest. Slopes are full of people going straight and out of control. BUT if there's good snow, you can find nice off-piste easily. (hint: "free ride area" on their piste maps) www.jasna.sk Some example: http://www.biglines.com/photos/blpic25443.jpg...

HAGGAR; Dood. It's just a sport. Here you promote rollerblading vigoroysly (sp?) And on the other thread hate mogul skiing with the same (or even more) effort. Funny, isn't it? Get over it. Rollerblading surely helps with freestyle stuff, nobody isn't argiung against that. But it doesn't...

Kids. Do your homework. Go skiing. Try to carve. Then try to ski powder. Then find some breakable crud, heavy slush etc. And most of all, READ this. I mean read ALL of it and then think some: http://www.fuzeqna.com/evogear/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=61 (Ps. that kind of design/design is not...

http://www.dpskis.com/pages/skis/lotus/138 DP skis already had that exact design last winter. Some of the TGR forum dudes like it a lot (and if you don't believe, search for "Tyrone Shoelaces"..the guy seems to know his s**t)

Exactly. Camber is not the same as sidecut...and thus reverse camber is not the same as reverse sidecut. A ski can have a normal sidecut but reverse camber (like those bent K2s). I guess reverse sidecut with normal camber wouldn't work though...:)

Old age claiming is lame too...heh Serioysly, nice stoke. Good to see some older trying to keep up. It doesn't matter that we get just worse and worse (compared to the kids) every year, as long as skiing stays FUN! Here's couple from our posse of (relatively) old farts...

Agreed on the having fun part. But have you ever thought that typical park rat form can get your killed in a true big mountain situation? (OK, at the very worst but still...) Here's something I'd call "pure skiing skills"; nailing a trick is specialialized skill, holding your edge on the...

I'll help that joe dood... http://www.philingle.com some lines done, including e.g. http://www.philingle.com/20030523.asp
