Twin tip Tele's are dumb...

i have been telemarking for 3 years now. i ride the pipe, rail and land switch. its goo because its a lighter set-up and its mounted on the balance point of the ski.

landings can be really sketchy sometimes, i have pulled bindings off skis and i have my springs let go for nothing, i had fuckin binding let go in the air. but its all good

i haven't figured out to land switch in the pipe but i can do it off rails and i'm 50-50 off booters landing switch.

here are some pics from 2001.

what skis were you on there? i cant tell...

'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

 
damn son...i bet it hurt whenn you landed on the deck.

Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Haagen-Das ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make smores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Captain Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons

dude spokaneskier you're a fucking idiot. how many twin tip tele park skis are out there? the piste pipe and the ruckit. the rest are twin tipped for powder skiing. so that makes 2 out of 100+ tele skis. in my opinion we need more twin tips and if you haven't seen teleskiers ski switch then you haven't seen any real skiers. i tele and i can ski switch better than most of the alpine skiers i've ever met.

 
they still look fucking stupid.

I rip pow, groomers, and trees on Dragons with tele bindings (Skyhoys). I didn't get much time in the park last year and had to remount my skis (I set the three pin line at the boot centre mark, which was a bad idea). Still, I didn't do too bad on the rails ad boxes.

Tele looks so hard, but so fun. I definatly want to learn this season.

If you do learn, try to use plate bindings so you can parallel turn in a pinch. That's my reccomendation, at least. I p-turn when it gets sketchy, but t-turn when I can open up those long arcs.

Theres a dude in proaganda who does it... um, Mathew Piquet or sumthing, its insane the shit he does, imagine landing with basically a foot and a toe

'If you've got neon light's with gold mags your just basically saying, im a fuckwhit!'- friend

That was 10 feet of queer shit, into 15 feet of gay shit! -newskool

telemarking is cool but for jibbing it just doesn't make any sense. think if roller blades only straped in on the toe. what the hell their is no reason. ITs just an excuse, oh i am on tele's whooped dooo.

 
What doesn't make sense is buying a telemark setup and a separate alpine stup just for jibbing. If a person can jib on their telemark gear, why not? It sure as hell costs less than having to sets and is less hassle than having to swap gear when you want to make a run through the park.

I think its time to finally move on to a more extreme sport. How bout we get really long skis, with lace up boots, and cam bindings. I mean think about it, with todays technology, the shit that our grandparents learned on is as extreme as it gets. Oh yeah and lets make russian hill into a ski sloap, straight down to the pier :)

Oh yeah and Ill put up props for telemarkers. My uncles been telemarking all his life, and about two years he face planted into a tree ( probably a bit to much ganja) and fucked up his face real bad. But he got up, picked up his broken skis and walked down the mountain. Props to that.

 
you all are idiots, tele skiers arent hardons like most of the poeple on this forum and theyre super sick skiers, Andrew SB for example outta colorado, 270s on teles and rodeo 5s, cork 7s everythin, hes better than most of u regular skiers

lame

 
you would all change your mind if you would have seen the tele dudes at High North session 2. they were throwin smooth cork 7s over the big table.

anyone who puts down tele jibbers should be removed from skiing forever...

'I heard that Richard Gere gerbils. That is, he inserts gerbils into a paper towel tube, which he then sticks up his butthole. I don't doubt this, because he asked me if i wanted to come over to his house and gerbil. I insisted that he come over to MY house, since the whole thing seemed weird. As a practical joke, i attached a bucket of water to the top of the door so that when he opened it, I beat him with a mannequin leg.'-Skydaddy

 
why dont tele dudes use normal skis/bindings to ski park and when they leave onto groomed or pow put there telys back on. personaly i think tele skiing is gay but mabey im just ignorent

dont get it twisted
 
its a hole lot harder to stomp the landing

tele jibbing is good because

1) the setup is lighter

2) i mounted my skis on the balance point same weight in the front and back, easy to spin

i think ridding on my tele has made me a better alpine skier, you learn a hole lot about balance and weight transfers. anyway, calling shit gay is gay.

they look like shit when they do it unless they just do all there stuff alpine style and say they ride telemarketer skis cuz I guess they are better...
