    I cannot even fathom 3 years from now...

    Just watched David Wise throw the double cork in the pipe. I still remember watching comps from 6 and 7 years ago where the big air was Tanner throwing a switch 7 and pipe was candide, CR and others doing a flair, straight air, cork 9 for the win. I honestly can't comprehend where competition...

    FS: better than Saga or Oakley

    At least in my opinion. So here you go Saga and Oakley peeps - bright colors except in Gore-Tex. Yep. Burton AK 3L Hover in Radical Green. Size - XXL. Hardly used, not a mark or tear on it. Impossible to find. Matches lots of light blues quite well. Fits like most XL baggy fit stuff...

    Switch Not Rewarded in Pipe? Your thoughts please.

    So I just watched the Kiwi pipe comp video. I absolutely SUCK at pipe (like I can do straight airs, barely...) so perhaps I don't know pipe judging at all. But, AJ Kemp's run seemed to me to FAR superior in difficulty level than any other run. He threw so much switch with big spins with...

    Can you taste it? 09/10 Season on the way

    It is usually around this time of year that I can taste the upcoming season. Up until this point it is summer, where little tangible thought or activity of skiing actually occurs. But around the middle of August the reality of the upcoming gear and movie releases and the piquing of cooler...

    Signed stuff makes it worth.... less

    Unless you are an old guy collecting 1920's Yankee's memorabilia, why would you want something signed by a professional skier? You basically just got some kid who is really good at a sport/activity to put ink all over your stuff? It seems to me that it would make a helmet, pair of skis...

    The amount of gear made/stocked by some companies shocks me...

    So recently I have been astounded by the sheer volume of outerwear and gear that Backcountry.com stocks. Just on tramdock was Oakley Pipe gloves, just standard cheap gloves that cost $30 (available for $10). What blew me away though was the number available was 492!!!!!!!! Holy crap. First...

    Did I get a raw deal from Will Brown? You decide.

    Many of you know may know him, since he seems to be of AM status on the Armada team and claims to be sponsored by Dalbello, but if you are his friend, please refrain from any comments since you are completely partial. So here is the deal. About two months ago Will Brown make a 'for sale'...

    Will Rossignol...

    Get left in the dust in the twin market? Aside from the S7 is seems like the same ol' same ol' out of Rossi for years. Their park ski, now called the S4, has been the exact same design since 2006 when the Scratch FS moved to an 84 mm waist. It is still made with a THC core (seriously?). The...

    Please keep this forum to SKI GEAR

    It is getting out of control again and becoming a random thread making forum for anything people happen to have in their home their want to sell. I don't like this and it is not the intended use of the forum. Why is this bad? It pushes sales that actually contain ski equipment off the front...

    Experience with Snoop Daddy vs Prophet 100? Please reply

    Hey gents, I have a question. This year I was on Prophet 100s, I only get one pair of skis, that's it, so it was my only ski. It dominates everywhere on the mountain except for the "fun factor" - butters, occasional jibbing and park performance. They have a titanal insert, so I can understand...

    NS selling out commercially?

    I can perfectly understand the banner ads for ski companies on NS. The Salomon ads, Corupt stuff, etc makes sense on a ski website. But I don't want to log in to NS to see horrible ads for singles in my area. Is this necessary to keep NS afloat? I've donated over $100 to this site to help...

    Joystick - Quality and Customer Service

    So I just thought I would comment on owning a couple of pairs of poles. I have owned two pairs of Carbons now. I broke both. In my opinion neither incident should have broken a pole, but I still absolutely love the poles and will probably still buy them in the future. That being said, the...

    When will Salomon make solid brakes?

    I have owned various pairs of Salomon bindings in the past 8 years, and I am wondering when they will decide to make a quality product. I thought with the advent of the STH binding, they would make brakes that didn't bend easily, but alas, they are still the same... I landed a bit forward on a...

    Medium to Large sale: Brigades, suspects, scratch bindings, STH 16s, crowbar parts and lens, etc.

    Okay gentlemen (and the occasional lady), I need to clean some stuff out. You all know me. Never had a bad transaction on my part in literally dozens of deals. So, I do not have pictures, but I am glad to give my e-mail, phone number, whatever you want if you don't feel good about buying...

    FS: Cheap, New Oakley Mystics in blazing yellow, just for you, NS

    So, when I saw these on Tramdock I figured there would be a good number of people who were in class, missing out on this deal. So, I snagged a couple to help ya out. I have bought and sold so many things over the years on NS, why not hook it up. So, there is a medium, a large and an XL...

    Snowmobile double backflip... True Insanity. Props Levi Levalee

    Personally I don't think it is worth risking one's life to attempt what he did, but wow, he sure got a round of applause from me. If you didn't see it, go watching. I was nervous he would short it, break his neck, and die on national television. But the kid throttles it, rotates it perfectly...

    Boot help please. Rossi B-squad problem

    So here is my problem, I don't know the size of them, haha. The BSL is 308 and I don't know if it is a 26 or 26.5 (I am pretty sure that the 308 bsl is that shell size, just don't know the specific size). Any help?! I think I am pretty much screwed, but figured I would at least ask

    Travis Rice made of silly putty?

    Did anyone else see his bail on the channel gap? I am pretty sure that would have killed me. He crushed his rib cage against the tranny coming up short, then basically falls 15-20 feet to flat and somehow lands on his board. Pretty sure I would have crushed every vital organ in my rib cage...
