personally, id stay away from the RM series. i looked into buying one cuz they are dope lookin and thomas and wade ride em (so they must be good?), but they have a bad leverage ratio which causes em to blow shocks a lot. and at least on some of the older models, the swingarms cracks. everyone...

Can I go off and ski pow? Not really, but as Glen Plake once said: 'Powder days are borrrrring. I prefer a rock hard day! Heheheheh!' -SnoWhat

HAHAAHAH no they arent dude wtf are you talking about, vertical rise might be closer but they are in no way as high as out west like you said the highset mtn in the east is like 6000 feet, you dont see ski areas at all below that range out here. And even then your vertival drp cant compare with...

Actually, most people dont realize that the highest hills in the east are just as high as many of the mountains in the west. Take for instance, Mt Washington in NH. Top: 6288' or so. Glen, NH: 540'. Over five THOUSAND feet of vertical. Tetons: Top: between 10,000 and 12,770 or so. Jackson...

Nice, thanks fellas. I think I got a whole ton of good stuff to work on this season. How about dryland training? Anything that might help technique?

Help out the slow kid here. Im confused. I need new skis, too. Anyone got any bump skis they wanna sell? Or where do I get cheap skis again?

i didnt read most of the posts but heres my 2 cents: 1.) Should I? whats the downside if you do and dont make it? if its a big investment and you lose big, then i wouldnt, but im conservative. if you dont have anything (or too much) to lose, hells yeah, go fer it! 2.) What is most important...

Errrm, ok, I guess my last post didnt come up. I like bumps. A-LOT. 'More like, one in a million.' 'So youre tellin me theres a chance!'

Tried that, the shop I took em to called Rossi and I guess Rossi wouldnt even let them send them back without proof of purchase or some crap. Was I getting jerked around? Should I try it at another shop?

I got short poles--unintentionally. Then I found out that they were great for bumps (although when freeskiing all-mountain I find myself miffing pole plants cuz the damn things are so short). Pocketrocket--when you say put your knee behind the other--you mean inside the other--like spooning...

Zipline baby! I want to noodle like a real noodler! ;) Seriously, yeah, zipper-line. Not old-fogey-style ski-them-to-get-through-them. I can pretty much ski good lines and rip pretty well, but when my buddy videos me, I know my form is off a bit. I have trouble bending--where do you bend...

Bump :) Anyone know any bump instructors at Sunday River?

I got them from a friend who knows the rep. Rossi wont touch them without a reciept (which I dont have). My friend busted his skis that he got from the rep, so he doesnt want to ask the rep for another favor... Looks like Im SOL.

What is DCL or DEV? > Where would you be looking to learn more in bumps? How do you mean 'where'? You mean location or in what area of bump skiing? I would like to learn anything about bump skiing, as I have not taken a lesson. All Ive learned is from watching BustNBurn. Those kids are...
