I confess my bonehead move so maybe you can avoid it

[Horton]

The Radar Vapor review took a week or two longer than it should have because I went down a totally unnecessary rabbit hole. The exact details of the rabbit hole are irrelevant - my bindings were in the wrong place and I repeatedly adjusted them farther from where they should have been.

When I finally got my head out of my rectum and reset everything to stock the ski worked as it was designed.

The lesson is when things are not working….. double-check everything and when in doubt go back to stock.

 

( the review should be published 9/27 )

Been there done that

I confess I love calling you "BoneHead"!!!! 😂😂😂

[Horton]

@thager I can call me bonehead. you may not call me bonehead.

A #2 pencil is a very handy tool to provide a quick visual on where things are or should be.

Just make sure your next move isn't preceded by "hold my beer".

You landed back at stock binding location?  I am a touch back.  Ski is cranking turns.  I may push it up to stock and try again. 

[Horton]

@ToddL at Short/Deep I was about 1/8th back from stock. With Long/Shallow I am at 30 1/8th ( on Vapor Boot ) 

[Horton]

@DW instead of a #2 pencil I use a strip of duct tape. Somehow I lost track where stock was in relation to the tape and did not think to go back to scratch and remeasure everything. I would hate to think of how much fuel I burnt wondering what was wrong.

@Horton so sounds like the ski is quite sensitive to fin and binding settings.
 

[Horton]

@tjm sort of. I was really messing with binding placement. when you move 1/8 of an inch at a time, it doesn't take many moves to get way out of a practical zone

Rectum…damn near killed him
