anybody remember what movie has a benny smith backcountry segment with i heard it through the grapevine by the slits in it?

i asked chatgpt and it was wrong but said this:

That sounds like it could be from the ski movie "The Tangerine Dream" by Teton Gravity Research (TGR). Benny Smith had a backcountry segment in that film, and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by The Slits was part of the soundtrack. The movie was released in 2005, so it fits the era when that kind of music and skiing style were popular in ski films.
 
Me too

Damn I’m getting way too itchy to ski already, it’s only august

Wayyy too early lol Good lesson about not blindly trusting ChatGPT

anyone know a disassembly guide for pivot 15 toe pieces?

Unscrew the din screw all the way out. The cap and spring will come with it. There’s also a couple washers if i remember correctly. You’ll be able to lift the toe off the post at this point. I believe there was also a little metal piece that was on top of the post when the toe piece came off. It’s been a few years since I took one apart. Just snap pictures of the order of the washers and the little metal piece from the post so you can assemble them back in the correct order.
 
Just bought a fisheye off aliexpress. From what I can tell it's identical to an opteka, if not the literal same fisheye. Ended up costing 210 cad (approx 153 USD) compared to an opteka which is 200 USD and deathlens 72mm fisheye which is 250 (marked down from 350 lol). I was skeptical of buying a fisheye off aliexpress cuz i'd never met someone who bought one but now I'd recommend.
 
I move Saturday but I’m going to clean this up Friday

If you look up “crasheur” on Instagram he has a video guide on disassembling pivots. Could be helpful for your project!

[tag=38820]@eheath[/tag] can't you hire a hitman or something this kid is on burner account number 4 for this week.

Like late September probably

Unfortunately pivots do not anodize, likely due to the aluminum being cast. Major bummer

you could powder coat them. think harbor freight still sells kits

What's the deal with all the Elk stuff on them this year? Did Scott Andrus join an Elks lodge or is it all an elaborate joke?

Its just a topsheet, but the new ski tech could be interesting. The 2020 116s had similar one. Still the most mean ski ever @187cm

Their Instagram story said that ON3P has been made a lifetime member of the BPOE (Elks Lodge). All 3 of their new woodsman graphics say "A good elk" on them. Maybe it's an elaborate joke, but i doubt that most on3p buyers even know what an Elks Lodge is.

I have no issue with the Elks, it's just an odd thing to brand skis with.

Kinda crazy how young snow was one of if not the best up and coming rider in the game, got a pro model topsheet, and now doesn’t even ski anymore. No hate on him just crazy how someone can go from the top to that so quickly.

One of the most tech rail skiers in the game too, so insane how you can go from being the hottest rider to just not riding at all
 
I wanna give a huge shout out to the homie with a beat up Tacoma w/ Snowbird and Alta stickers, a dog in the front seat and Colorado plates who parked next to me today at the grocery store. Ur a real one

From rumors I’ve heard he got a girlfriend and stopped skiing. Unsure of how true it is, heard it from a fella of mine semi close with Emmett
 
a lot of bases will be solid color and a cut out insert of their logo. i hate that shit. one time i ripped out the ‘a’ on fatypus.

1096467.jpeg

I would rather full solid color, black ideally or a solid clear base like J skis/ON3P does that shows off a graphic underneath.

my moments have multiple large pieces of different base and i do think the varying colors/materials do have ever so slight performance differences especially being on the nose of one ski and tail of the other

Might be a conspiraski but I've long held the belief that red bases are faster and worse

And also death to diecut bases, long love sublimated graphic bases

(shoutout whoever pushed this GOAT base graphic through, even if they reused all the off cuts on the different base graphics I imagine it was a pain in the ass to assemble them)

Size up for baggy. I use XXL and 6’3, decent size, wish they made an XXL tall but oh well
