Sounds like meniscus to me. Has it gotten better at least? If it's just been feeling all shitty and achey for a week and not gotten any better, then definitely get it checked out. Knees are not something you take lightly. Probably the most important part of a skiers body.
When you look through them, everything is just slightly tinted pink. If you're in bright light, nobody will see your eyes, but if you are in overcast or super flat light, you can see your eyes.
I'd go for the sas 120's. It's not the same as the px 12 or axial2 120 from last year. This year they added metal reinforcement in the heel, shortened the heel track and added worm screw(more solid than the tab, and you can get your forward pressure dialed perfectly). They also put the fixed...
Mount as far forward as you can on the scale on the ski. With rocker, you can mount further forward, get more tail for more stability, without sacrificing tip float(at least not a ton of it). Better for swing weight and balance as well.
You forgot the downhill component of the cliff drop landing.
But it is still retarded. Watch Jamie. He "calculated" a lot of stuff, and still landed on his head. Air resistance on your skis is impossible to fight. With park jumps, those dudes train so much and worst case scenario they don't...
Well he'll probably scope in the summer(might have already been done) and then he'll measure the snowpack, poke for rock, and then wait for it to snow. It's not like he says "that's a big cliff, lets hit it!"
I wear shells and I layer. I like to get shells in just a little bit bigger a size, so they look dope and I have plenty of room to layer. I just think it's more versatile. i find that shells are usually just higher quality, as opposed to an insulated jacket which is usually not meant to stand...
Purely preferential. Big mountain skiers might like longer poles for pole planting, and park skiers like shorter poles so they don't get in the way, and they're a little more durable. But it comes down to what's more comfortable for you.
