    Bode fan...

    World Cup downhills are life and death at 90+mph, though. I'd hate for even Bode to wreck because of visibility BTW, I wasn't going to bring it up, but Bode showed his character in the slalom finals for sure...he didn't bother to ski...his fans were more than a little bummed.

    Hey, TT C6

    Thanks for saving the pics and sharing
  3. Bah, if ballet skiing gets hot again, I bet you'd be all over it. You'd pick up a lot of girls with a bushy mustache and a ponytail, Brian.
  4. Maybe it's a girl. I'd be inclined to trust her.
  5. Not judging whether it makes sense or not, but I thought I read passholders saying Blue blew right up to closing?
  6. Heheheheh... Did Trim ever reveal his source?

    Hey, TT C6

    She's staying out of trouble and studying really hard at Poc's alma mater.
  8. IDK, I'm curious but at the same time, it might be really disturbing. Every race coach I've ever known will agree with that...
  9. Corey, read up a little and you'll find out where nearly 100% of all ski innovations have come from. Why your bases are made out of what they are; what your edges are made from; your dampening devices, torsion rigidity, construction, and everything else. Read a little and answer with facts instead of your stupid hate. I'll give you a hint, though: World Cup Ski Racing. "Testers" run skis at 90mph and land 300ft. air at 75mph. It's not a flame or hate, Corey, but park skiers don't push skis to such a limit that they completely melt bases in a single run, do they? This isn't a secret. Park skis get the trickle down effect from race technology. Recreational and park get "quieted down" to various degrees. Eh, now you don't even have to read. I wonder if Rob knows about this?
  10. DH, I can only tell you that I really do know a little something about skis---and an edge gimmick does not make a ski. The construction of those skis is more like a floppy K2 Winter Heat than a full blown race room Race Tiger, for instance. You can put fun little chains on a VW Bug, but it's still a VW Bug. There's no bashing going on. It's just goofy to make an edge hold comparison between the skis my team and I were on and those pieces of fluff. Really.
  11. Ha, according to their own R&D and tester guys, it's basically a fun little gimmick. Powder Mag
  12. Are you familiar with the phrase go away? Eh, isn't it magne traction?
  13. Maybe 15 or 20 every spring. I'll def hook Mom up if I happen to be at one of his.
  14. Thanks for your support. BTW, 'Kitten is in love with you, Boss. I wish I'd seen it and had my video camera for it. He is crazy.
  15. Ha, not on my slalom skis, for sure. You'd hit 60+ tucking WL and the compression would be almost impossible to hold. Ski Head has probably done some of the more insane things on WL, so I'll have to ask if it was him---I know he likes to get really close to the trees on that side. I don't remember the numbers any more and am too lazy to search posts, but we were low to mid 50's after the ASRA race on Tanglwood's headwall, and that was with a real radar gun. I still haven't replaced the molar I knocked out with my ski pole and the tree, though. That sucked a lot.
  16. Ha, it's cool that your sloppy noodle twins edge ice patches better than race room boards with mill filed razor edges.

    Good point.

    They came to Earth, disguised as friends. But instead, they took our water and our people for food. But there is a Resistance... to save our people and our planet. These are the stories of this Resistance... No, but it sounds like the best show ever...

    There's always Bosom Buddies repeats.

    That show is pretty close. Our foreign exchange kids were from Bolivia and Costa Rica and were great futbol players, though. BTW, Hyde=Glenn
  21. It's from the HDK-style gun at that little left dogleg. Might just need a new washer

    Yeah, yeah, make jokes, but you missed out on an era, Toast. We used to drive around with suitcases filled with 8-tracks. My Pink Floyd and Led Zep alone took up one whole seat of my '64 1/2 Mustang. We felt lucky to have color TV and girls didn't just act slutty back in the '70's they were slutty. I could go on and on, but you just wouldn't appreciate it.

    Cassette, baby! I can't hear a radio in my Jeep anyway...iPod only.

    O boy, snow

    I was listening to AM radio on the way home from Sno and they were calling for minus 15 degrees and two centimeters of snow tonight.
  25. x2. At least two of the guys are among the best in the Poconos.
