look and rossi bindings are the same things. back in the day when rossi bought look, they started using look's binding tech. now quik owns them both, so they still share a lot of the same technology, i.e. bindings. i ride look p12 jibs on all my stuff, which are a few years old, but they hold up well. if you arent really riding park a ton, dont get the jibs. if you want look/rossi, get a pair with a bit of a lifter under them, since it will help you get the ski up on edge better for all mountain riding. the new px/axial2 bindings release almost identically to the older version, even though mechanically, the heel is different. i've skied them and i actually like how they ski better on an all mountain ski, but not necesarily on a park ski due to the longer mounting pattern. for an all mountain ski they are nice because there is a lot less play in the binding and its stiffer torsionally, which translates energy to the ski better, which equals quicker turns and better edge grip. if you dont wanna go with look/rossi, there are lots of other alternatives too. from marker, the m12 free would be an ok bet, or from salomon, the z12. the only stuff i'd recommend from tyrolia/fischer would be the race stuff or the mojo 15 bindings. the majority of their stuff seems kind of cheap to me to be putting on that level of ski.

what i wanna know is where you got 141 fijatives. last i checked, that ski doesnt exist. but regardless, look for something about 160ish. we have silencers and fujatives in 159 in stock right now. also, you might wanna check out the dynastar troubled youth or rossi scratch pro, which i think both come in a 158? either of those will be the same price as the silencer, but a little more friendly for a smaller guy like yourself. its kind of the inbetween ski for somebody who's too big for a kids ski, but not quite strong or heavy enough for an adult ski. if you can find a good deal on invaders, they're sick skis for sure, but there are other options out there too, especially if you're looking for something that has a little more all mountain capability. as far as bindings go, you dont need a 12 DIN binding. you probably dont need a 10 din binding for that matter, but anything below a 10 wont really stand up to terrain park abuse all too well.

put hinges on it so it can fold flat. i'd go about 30-35 degrees for the angle or you're going to need a lot more snow to smooth out the transition. we set up a picnic table at about a 45 that was about 4 feet off the ground and that gave us plenty of speed, but we had to use some extra snow to make the transition manageable.

how many people on TGR ride park? i'm pretty sure they're referring to BC booters, which is the only place i've heard the term booter really applied by the industry. again, i'm sure papa will back me on this one, as will most anyone else who has ridden outside of the east coast and knows what a real booter actually is.

we have a winner. i had never heard anyone refer to a standard park jump, like the ones blue, boulder, or bear have being called booters until doug mentioned it. and gurp, if you really want a name that implies some meaning on the feature, most of us have been calling them step downs since we've had parks. thats what pretty much the rest of the snowsports industry refers to them as as well.

can we please let the term "booter" die?

thats what i was thinking. they have a large bank on the right side of the trail that they wouldnt need the legs to be at an angle to install it there. if thats the case, it might be hitable. otherwise, its worthless.

it starts at 5 on friday, but last year we had people lining up at almost 3. there was one family that came in a pickup who rolled up with a couch in the bed. i had no idea why, until they carried it out of the bed and set it down next to the tent to wait for us to open it up...

most nordica boots are pretty wide, with the exception of the doberman.

both of those skis can be had for under 300 before tax. they ski a little differently, so it depends what you're looking for. the invaders are a little softer and are meant to be center mounted. the silencer is a little stiffer and narrower, and skis like the old PE, therefore a little more stable on big hits due to its stiffness.

ha thanks for putting that one into context

can you afford a second pair of skis? if so, keep the fujatives for all mountain and get a second pair, something cheap like the silencer or invader for your park needs. if money's not an issue, keep the fujatives for park and get a real ski for everything else. there are much much better all mountain skis than the fujative.

i'm slightly below and to the left of you, white tshirt, before it got covered in mud.

din is 4-12, and like trevor said, they are in great shape, and are the same bindings salomon has been making up until this year, so they are still workable. and about the price, like i said, thats what my dad is looking for, but its negotiable if anyone is interested.

EXACT same, no. pretty darn close? yes.

jeff, all skis are flex tested for consistency. thats part of the reason why the serial numbers on skis match.

i have a pair of bindings from my dads skis he wants me to sell for him. they are salomon 900S Carbon bindings. they are a few years old, but are still in great shape. he takes care of his stuff a lot better than i do. the bindings are currently on a pair of salomon equipe skis, which i'm willing to take offers on as well if anyone is actually interested, but mostly this is just for the bindings. the bindings are essentially the same as the S912, as in they release in the same way, have the spheric toe, etc. they do not have titanium in the heel, which makes the heel stronger than the S912ti. think S912 toe piece with S914 heel. they look a little different, but its just the plastic housing on the binding, not actually the workings of the binding itself. they'd work well on a pair of backup jib skis for someone on a budget. i'll start at $75, but i might be willing to change that, with my dad's ok, since they are his. i have a lot more pictures of close ups and whatnot available if anyone is interested. PM me and i can email/AIM them to you.

the inventory on the site is by no means up to date. we have a lot more stuff in the shop than we do on the website thus far. also, some of the info on the site is not correct either (the fujatives are going for 297 right now i believe, not 1000).

24m turning radius isnt that bad. i had a pair of skis that was 25m; they werent the quickest turning ever, but by no means unmanageable. they were 92 in the waist too, so yours will be even easier to manage.

galvanized doesnt really slide all that well. also, aluminum sucks because its sticky, not because your edges dig in (which they do, i've tried). pvc works if you are on a budget. yeah, your edges can cut into it, but its really slick if you arent on your front edge. aluminum is just sticky.

toe height's probably off. or you have really worn down toes and heel lugs on your boots.

agreed. the flex of the rampages is perfect for me, since i ride a lot of park, but i like the fit of the cross or pro much better just because of the snugger, denser liners in the higher end boots. i havent tried on the ID liner yet, since you cant really get a feel for them unless you buy them, but i'd imagine the fit to be much better with the higher quality liner.

this year's gun boot is the same last as the falcon boot, so if you've tried those on then you should know how they fit. if you havent... the heel pocket is similar to last years, which is pretty snug, they are low to medium through the middle of the foot, and then get pretty wide, but not quite as wide as the x waves in the toe. the instep is also not as high as in the x wave.

there are more important things than school...
