    Prophet 98 brake width

    Hey, I'm getting some Line Prophet 98s and wondering about brake width. I have a choice of Marker Jesters (110 mm brake) and Salomon STH 13 (115 mm brake). I'd love to go with the STH, because it's 50 bucks cheaper and I'm positive it's just as good for my use... But: the 115 mm brake. Is that...

    Bending brakes

    I want to fit my Look Pivots on Line EP Pros. The Pivots have the 115 mm brakes and the EP Pros have a 127 mm waist. What is the best method of bending the brakes so that they fit? I have access to a workbench with clamps and a heat gun that goes up to 950°F.

    Stretching at the start of the day

    I know that many of you stretch before hitting the park. I hurt my back when popping for a 540 so I decided to start doing it too. I'm curious: what kind of stretches do you do?

    New boots, ideas?

    Please read this post before telling me to go to a boot fitter. Two years ago I bought some Full Tilt Konflicts and they fit me amazingly that year. Then in last season they started to get a bit tight and even hurt my feet on some days, but I still managed. This year I couldn't wear them for...

    Line Chronics: where to mount?

    Hey guys, I'm getting 183 cm Chronics with Pivot 14s. I'm 6'2" 170 lbs, experienced skier. They will be my primary park skis, but I like skiing groomers too. I mostly ski forwards and fast. So basically I'm looking for park and groomer performance. Powder isn't a concern, I have other skis for...

    Full Tilts leaking

    I bought FT Konflicts today and used them for the first time. When I got home from the hill and pulled out the liners, I noticed something strange. The liners are clearly wet! The other liner looks like this too. The wet spot seems to be under the toe buckle. Is this common in Full Tilts or do...

    Legendary/classic skis

    What skis (twin-tips only) do you consider to be legendary/classic and why? I'll start off with a few. Original Salomon 1080s. Pretty obvious why. Armada ARV. Unchanged (?) since its inception, this is pretty much the definitive all-mountain twin-tip. Armada AR6. Famous for its durability and...

    Looking for a backbag

    Hi NS! I thought about getting a backpack for skiing. The question is: which one? I'd like to carry a DSLR camera, maybe an extra lens. No huge lenses, I'm guessing 50 and a fisheye. A water bottle, maybe a middle layer shirt. So no too much stuff. I'd like the bag to have a waist belt and...

    Bending poles

    Hi NS. I fell on my pole the other day. Unsurprisingly it bent. A lot. Now the pole has an angle of about 30 degrees but luckily the tube hasn't been crushed too much, it's still rather round. I'm going to try bending it back. I have a heat gun, should I use that to heat the bent part before...

    Oakley Splice lens question

    Hi NS, I have a huge nose so I'm replacing my Crowbars with Splices. I'm going to get two lenses and need help deciding what those should be. I live in Finland which is way up north. This means that in December-January the sun is up for like three to four hours, so it's very dark. Obviously I...

    Which bindings should I get?

    Hi NS. I'm getting new skis and bindings for this season. I've decided on skis already (Line SFB) but still quite unsure about bindings. I have two choices: Look Pivot 14 and 18 (or the Rossi equivalents). I run DIN 9 so that's in range for both bindings. I might run DIN 10 this season though...

    Dalbello boot question

    Alright, this is real quick. Do Krypton Pros and Il Moros have the same fit? I know they have the same last (98 mm) but are there other differences in fit? Thanks in advance.

    Flex question, EP Pro vs. Hellbent

    How's the flex on these? I'm talking about this season's (09/10) models. I've skied the Hellbent. Is the EP Pro softer? I understand that EP Pro has a symmetrical flex while Hellbent has a stiffer nose than tail. Is the EP Pro softer than the Hellbent tail? I understand that these are not park...

    Elizabeth replacement / building a quiver

    As the title says, I have Line Elizabeths. This is my second season on them. They're starting to show some age so I think I'll get some new skis for next year. I'm not going to get rid of the Elizabeths though, they're still gonna be my park-rail-jibbing skis. So I thought about the Line Sir...

    Dalbello Il Moro question

    Actually just ordered the regular version so this is simply to satisfy my need to know. What's the difference between this and this ? So basically what's the difference between the regular Il Moro and the Il Moro T? The model T costs 100 € more so I bet there's more than the color and...

    STH vs. S912Ti, quick reply appreciated

    Hi guys I had Salomon S912Ti's on my Elizabeths last season and was not impressed. I broke a brake and two heel pieces, the plastic covering the rail cracked and broke off and made the heel piece wobble. I was wondering if the STH's have better designed heel pieces. Do they have these problems...
