Im going to C for the 15 day camp. however, i suck, first time jumper..and I put in a request for a roommate who is at least 18...preferrably 21... i'm an old fart...i'll probably be asleep at 8PM every night, with about 10 heat packs and ice packs.

I have the Smith Prodigy Turbo-Fan, with the sensor lens. The turbo-fan series is awesome for anti-fog. I the sensor lens is great for low light condition (i prefer it over yellow, because of the obviuos yellow color to everything, and it is comparable in low light conditions). Ive even used...

The title doesnt quite match up with what Yauch is saying here. The title says this, but in the thread he complains that the ams part is what ruined the competititon. Which one is it or was it both that Yauch didnt like? I didnt get to watch the competition. I am in no way agreeing with the...

This is a funny thread. Let me start off, I mean none of this in disrespect, but I see a lot of ideas of what people think engineers do and its quite confusing from what Ive read. First: to "Nick" - I just want to help you get rid of a huge misconception on the following post: "by the time i...

It wouldnt make much sense to make park skis with the Head Chip system. I have the Head iSuperShapes (awesome skis if you want non-park skis). The purppose of the chip is that the skis actually stiffen with speed. The chip "senses'" the increase in speed and sends a "current' of sorts through...

Thanks for the post. I understand not all high end skis are the same. I do have some history of traditional skiing, so I understand the fundamentals of gearing, I just dont know the freestyle specifics. I actually plan on buying 2 pairs of skis because Ive heard its not ideal to use the same...

All of those features are utterly useless if the boots dont fit. Also (if they dont fit) they'll look awesome sitting next to him in the lodge when he has them off and his feet are painful. Its cool if you go to the shop and they fit properly and everything...more power to you..however, do not...

Thanks for the help. I'll probably go with the Moj 15's then. I'll loock at those other suggestions though For freestyle do the DIN settings follow the same guidelines as traditional skiing? I know there is a fine line where you dont want to break your legs because your boots didnt come out...

Im new to the boards and never done a trick in my life (except the occasional accidental air), but I think I can answer you question, because its very simple. Go to a reputable boot shop and find out. You wont know until you try them on. Besides which, why SPK in particular? Im assuming those...

This is a new terminology to me, and was wondering if I could get a little help getting a better understanding of this. With my racing skis, the "running surface" was pretty much the same as the ski lenth (obviously a little less to account for the slight upturn on the nose). However, I am...

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciate it. I think Ive decided on the JO Pro @ 178cm, center mounted. I have found a great deal on the flat ski so I need to get bindings for them. Ive mostly seen these paired with Mojo 11 or 15's. Are these good bindings or is there something better out...

Sorry to be such a nub, but whats the importance of softness/stiffness of freestyle skis. I know the technical background for racing/carving skis. Im assuming, soft/stiff skis when it comes to freestyle skiing have other factors for tricks such as rails vs jumps? Can anyone explain to me the...

Any suggestions on ski lengths? Ive been told the 169cm over the 169. I was wondering do I need to go all the way up to 178? that seems a bit excessively long.

As my name shows I am wanting to "get into freeskiing". (Im interested in a mix of stuff and I want to learn both rails and jumping, but more interested in the jumping.) I need some help figuring out boots/skis and ski sizes. Ive been skiing for about 7 years (15-40 days a year) mostly...
