Test of time

[JAS]

Fins, ventrals, wings, boots, ski designs, ropes, Z off settings, fin blocks, asymmetries, textures, steps, etc. on and on. We’re all looking for a better ride and spent a bunch of money on them, but really which of these have stood the test of time.

@skialex that's really not something that's been around long enough to say it withstood the test of time.

 

Binding plates however... when was the first year bindings were on plates instead of screwed into the ski?

[Tom351]

Using one ski instead of two for slalom.

[skialex]

@BraceMaker you’re right, I was carried away and forgot the original question. Micro adjusting devices were needed and will probably last the test of time, Mikrojust or another one.

How about board shorts over neoprene shorts?
