Baller tjm Posted September 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2012 The best part of getting a new ski is when you realize that the "New Ski Honeymoon" isn't ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted September 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2012 Best part is that temporarily misplaced optimism that the ski is going to pick me up a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted September 12, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted September 12, 2012 The best part about a new ski?.........................Getting it wet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2012 That first set when it feels magic and you can't believe how easy it is to be wide and early. After that you realize that the operator of the equipment hasn't changed, and the ski alone isn't going to make you a star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taelan28 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Every part after opening it up. Showing it off to the co-workers when it arrives. Showing it off to the ski club member when you bring it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller markchilcutt Posted September 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2012 The best part of a new ski is tasting it when you unbox it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted September 12, 2012 Gold Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 @markchilcutt I recommend against that with the Nano One. Immediately after unwrapping, it has a serious stench. Maybe taste it after skiing on it once!? :-) As for me, I don't much like getting a new ski. The only good part is the "potential" -- the possibility of picking up buoys. But even that is kind of annoying, because I'm wondering if I'm doing everything I should to achieve that potential with the ideal setup. Once I get it dialed in and it turns out to work better than my old one, as is happening right now, then I really like HAVING a new ski. But the "getting" is not really the good part for me.

Joeprunc Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 When the brown or white truck shows up is a pretty sweet feeling, but I've got to say once you get it dialed is even a better feeling. I still suck at skiing, but finally started feeling stronger on the water with my new Vice. Just upped my PB from 6 at 32 mph to 5 at 34 mph (it was also the morning before I got married!)

Baller MrJones Posted September 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2012 Love mounting bindings and setting fin on a new stick. N1 coming in next week. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bdecker Posted September 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm with "6balls"- it's the misplaced optimism... In fact, I was on a borrowed ski for a brief period this season and I still got that optimism without the $1-2k of guilt. When I got my primary ski sorted out, I got that optimism again and it is sticking around this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDNAH2OSKIER Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 So I got it, let my cat jump around on the boxes for a little bit, then opened the boxes. I scanned the deck and the bottom of the ski under a light, nary a mark on it, but does look like its been on the rack for a year, its a 2012 model afterall, but it is really cool looking, thought the throwback wood (hook) graphic was not that cool in the pics, but in hand it looks good, you cant see the carbon weave very well in the pics and it looks VERY cool. Talon boots smell like Made in China, boo, but the fit and finish is great (as is the ski) and they are easy to get in and out of and feel like they will be comfy. VERY excited, I buy and sell cars and am getting not one but two Harley's this week and WAY more excited about this ski!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Waternut Posted September 14, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2012 Tons of optimism out of the box, tons of pessimism on the open water test, and finally the glorious feeling of everything falling into place like you actually know what you're doing in a course.
