More guys should start on this ski

Just thought I would give a shout out to H2Osmosis, Tadd, and the RBYB program.

Last year, I was just on a set-up that was just too advanced for me - i.e. the latest and greatest.

I was a bit reluctant to buy yet another ski (I had bought 3 already), but after bottoming out last summer I decided to start from the very beginning by purchasing a ski specifically for my level and not chase the neon lights.

After much dialogue with Tadd and Seth (incredibly patient with me), I went with a D3 Custom X and went back to my original Wiley bindings.

For me - I'm still working on the fundamentals - this ski has been a dream.  It has been so consistent, stable, and forgiving and has allowed me to enjoy skiing more this year than any of my previous 3.

I know there can't be one ski for everyone, and really think a ski like this (Senate also) ought to get more press for intermediate level course skiers.

I agree

I concur with buying a ski beyond your level.  I have several skis.  The ski I am using right now is a Radar Theory with Source bindings.  My technique and form is improving rapidly on this easy riding, smooth turning, very forgiving ski that I can ride at slower speeds.  Nothing beats proper technique with repetitive perfect practice.  Struggling with a ski beyond my ability level was counterproductive.  When I get the muscle memory from many hours and my technique is perfect (or not the issue), I will go back to the Senate.
