    Settle an Argument

    Hey guys. I was asked by the people involved to post this here to help settle the argument with the least amount of bias possible. I was luckily not directly involved in the incident, so I hope to describe it as objectively as possible. Names have been changed for anonymity. NS Court is now in...

    Early Season Unused Gear Sale: Saga, Faction, Spy, Smith, Poc, Quiksilver

    It's just about time to shred in the Wasatch (some of us already have, I'm sure), which means it's time for a fresh look and some new gear! Or maybe you're improving your time-management skills and are looking for some Christmas gifts already. Either way, I've got some extra essentials that you...

    Video upload issue

    The file is an avchd file, and uploads fine to Youtube. When I tried to upload it here, once the progress bar is finished, it disappears, says "Finished" where it used to be, but nothing shows up below to add media details. The file does not show up in "My Media" either. I've tried 3 separate...

We talked to valhalla and arranged something but haven't been able to get a hold of him this weekend. If anyone has his contact info, that would be...

    Rossi Pow Ski: Sickle or S7

    I can currently get a great deal on some Rossi skis, and I've narrowed it down to these two (since the super 7 and squad 7 don't come in a small enough size for me). I'm about 5'8", 140, so I would get the 178 S7 or the 181 Sickle. This ski will be in pow about 95% of the time--from tree...

    Living With an RA at the U

    So I'll be a First-Year student at the U this year, and I just cleared the waitlist for the new Marriott Honors Building. I have a choice between living there, or at Sage Point. The suite layout is the same in both situations, although there is a kitchen in the Honors suite--I have my own...

    Beginner Longboard

    So I've been wanting to try longboarding for a few summers now, and now I'm trying to pick one out. I'm looking for something that would work as a cruiser (I don't plan on doing DH for a while) that has a kicktail, and isn't super long, but is longer than a normal skate deck, so somewhere...

    FKS 140 Heelpiece movement

    So today I got my new Scratches with this year's FKS 140's back from getting mounted at the shop. Of course, when I got home, I clicked in on the carpet, shuffled about for a few minutes, and felt the flex. When I leaned forward to feel the forward flex, however, I saw that the heelpiece on...

    Rossi Scratch Sizing

    I decided on these for pipe this season, now I just need to figure out what size to get. They will only see the pipe, as I have park and all mountain skis already. I'm 5'7", 135 lbs, so I've narrowed it down to either the 167 or the 176. I skied the Armada Alpha 1 (176) for everything last...

    Trees

    Just thought I would share one of the sketchiest moments of my recent life with good old NS. Haven't posted a thread in a while, and I figure I'm due for a good story. So, without further ado, here is how I landed in a pine tree. I wake up this morning to find 9" of fresh at PCMR, when it was...

    Another Edge Thread

    So after a little over a week of riding my new Alpha 1's, and doing not an insane number of rails, the edges underfoot are already beginning to thin out noticeably. I detuned them after the first day of using them, which definitely kept me from catching the next day, but the inside edge on the...

    Mounting a Junior Binding on a pow ski?

    I have a pair of 2008 dynastar junior bindings that I was thinking of putting on some powder skis i might get this year. I don't remember the model name, but they are 12 din with the "boner binding" heelpiece. I didn't really beat them up--i used them for a season, then water ramped on them for...

    NS's "change for a nickel" Ideas

    As some of you may know, TGR has a phrase that is so unique that only members would understand it: "change for a nickel?". They make stickers of this and identify each other by it. I think that NS should come together and think of something like this to identify ourselves even better in the...
