    spinning survey

    I'm wondering where most people are at: 1 - What can you do given the right jump (not done once by fluke - what CAN you actually pull)? a)natural? b)switch natural? c)unnatural? d)switch unnatural? 2 - What size and style of jump do you like to push yourself on? For me: 1a-540 1b-360...

    Topsheet Cuts on Armada ARV

    Aren't those cuts caused by when one ski's edge rubs against the other ski's topsheet? That probably wouldn't be warranty... It's like warrantying cars against damage caused by when your wife/gf/mom rubs against the pillars in an underground parking garage... -m

    what size pe's?

    ^ just to clarify that last point. I would have liked to have my setting shifted forwards by .5 to 1.0 cm, not using the +.5 setting... -m

    what size pe's?

    Yeah 179 is good for you (the tall guy) not sure about the original poster though... You may want to consider one size smaller... I mounted mine at +3.5 and I would have liked them just a touch more forwards, like maybe .5 - 1 cm... -m

    skiers survey 2.0

    1) what is your favorite ski that you have ever been in the park with? - K2 Public Enemy. 2) what gloves do you use? - in the cold I have a pair of Kombi gloves. For warmer weather I wear a pair of XXL DH bike gloves over fleece liners - great dexterity with those on. 3) what is the size of...

    Terrible Shin Bang..

    ^ Yeah you got it. Picture yourself standing in your ski boots ready to buckle up. Take the tongues of the boots and move them towards each other. What this does for me is move the center of the pad directly into the middle of the tibia, as that bone is on the 'inside' of one's shins. -m

    Terrible Shin Bang..

    I've been suffering from shin pain in the last couple of seasons except this one. Last year I had to stop skiing mid-February because of the pain. This year nothing. The only difference I think there is in my skiing is that I am tightening my boots a lot more and like the other guy said I am...

    cliff drop record ???

    Focused: what's the biggest cliff in the movie? I thought it was Hugo's (the one they show like 3 times in the video - once which is the whole line including the cliff and two shots just the air and landing part), which was, about what? 80'? 100'? Huge, yes. But if you're telling me people...

    That's all it takes. Anticipate 6-8 weeks for a reply though so you may want to wait until the end of the season if they're your only pair of skis...

    Shout out to Salomon

    Pipe Munky, I travel as much as I can. I was in Whistler when I originally got them and they have been all over since. West, yes, that is correct. It was the most easy-to-justify savings account dip I ever took...

    Shout out to Salomon

    I'd like to see equipment that doesn't break when put under constant heavy use. Not just skis, I'm talking any equipment. Skis break; that's a fact in skiing. The fact that a company stands behind breakages is in my opinion amazing, especially when it's so SO easy in this industry to just say...

    What will become of Blue now?

    Now that the Triple Challenge is over and done with? What will become of Blue? Are they going to work on the park to keep the features good, or will the ruts be allowed to grow rampantly? Those massive jumps from the TC: will they stay? Will they be open to public? Please give info on what...

    Shout out to Salomon

    Hello NS community. I just wanted to relate a great story (or that is: a story that turned out great for me) about how Salomon treated me recently. In 2002 (Feb), I bought a pair of Pocket Rockets. In Feb 2003 the tip on one of them separated. Sent them in for Warranty. Salomon repaired the...
