    Having trouble with backseating 3's

    Thanks, great advice, I'll give it some more tries....I have a problem spotting my landing, I never seem to have enough time in the air to really concentrate and look for a landing, I throw my arms, and in the same motion turn my shoulders and look over my left shoulder, and don't really see...

    Having trouble with backseating 3's

    Thanks.....odd...usually the harder if I pop really hard I feel less stable, atleast when I straight air. I haven't focused on popping at all when I 3 because of this, I guess I should give it a try though. Thanks for all the help.

    Having trouble with backseating 3's

    Searching for "Backseat 3" only came up with one result, and it didn't answer all my questions, so I decided to post, I do hope that's alright with you. Anyways, The more air I have, the less stable I feel. Off little tiny like bumps I can almost completely 3, and when I land off those my...

    Having trouble with backseating 3's

    Well, maybe backseating is the wrong term. About 3/4 of the time I throw a 3, I can get the rotation fine and land with my feet straight at a normal distance apart, but I'm like almost laying down from having my weight waaaaay too far back by the time I land. One thing my friend noticed is...

    Messed up my ski, got some questions about warranty/new ones?

    Alright........How much of a disadvantage is the softer flex on jumps/landings? I have no plans to be hitting giant booters anytime soon, but I've heard that a ski as soft as the invader doesn't give a whole lot of pop or support, and can cause a lot of backseat landings. I noticed I would end...

    Messed up my ski, got some questions about warranty/new ones?

    Yeah, I'm kinda leaning towards invaders as well.....they're cheaper, which is a big factor since I dunno how much my parents will help me out after getting me new boots and goggles like two weeks ago. I used to think that being really soft is the reason my invaders didn't really pop, but I...

    Messed up my ski, got some questions about warranty/new ones?

    Agreed, thanks for all the help. Anthems seemed pretty nice, pretty much a stiffer invader? You're probably right about the 171's, that just seems massive after skiing on my 153's.....but.....I guess if you think about it...that's only 9cm longer on each end....3.5inches....not actually a huge...

    Messed up my ski, got some questions about warranty/new ones?

    Haha,.....yeah, I'm a bit bigger than when I bought 'em. Anyways, I'm not quite sure as far as siving goes. If I went 161, that's only 4cm bigger on each end than my current 153's (center mount). Seems like I could outgrow that pretty quick. But If I went 171, they would feel huge on...

    Messed up my ski, got some questions about warranty/new ones?

    Got another question...... Line says that the 08 invaders ahve some features that make them a bit stiffer and give them more pop than the 07s? anyone know if this is true, or if its actually noticeable? Also, how much of my popping issues and instability in the air is from A. my skis being...

    Messed up my ski, got some questions about warranty/new ones?

    Well, we were hucking 1's and 3's off a rock today, and off one of my 1's I came down with all my weight forward, leaning over my tips, and put tons of stress on my skis, and popped out of one of my bindings. I checked it out and noticed my edge was snapped in 2 and bent a bit right under the...

    Yah, I almost always come off sitch, it's a lot easier since you already have a tiny bit of momentum left to spin in that direction from jumping on. Thanks, I'll give those tips a try.

    How bad is this/anythign I can do to fix it?

    Yay! good news, thanks. About urbans, not much around here in the way of that, but these will be good to go and beat up on our backyard setup box/rail to keep whatever I get at the end of the season in good condition. I've outgrown them anyways. Thanks.

    How bad is this/anythign I can do to fix it?

    I can't see any part of a screw, and the binding doesn't budge, so I'll give epoxy a try. This same thing happened in the same place but a little worse on my chronic minis last year, and LINE gave me credit for them, that's when I got these. If I make it through the rest of the yar with some...

    I have last year's Invader minis, and while I was detuning my edges (Ski shop sharpened them even though I told them not to) I noticed some damage under the heelpiee of my binding, There's some cracks in the laminate topsheet, exposing some hard black material underneath that feels like...
