  1. Nice @ozski, I'm only following the World Cup 'cause it's the World Cup, otherwise the diving makes me sick, weak as piss. Barry would show 'em, even Darren Glass would, you don't go down unless you get knocked out with a broken jaw.
  2. No idea how to fix it, point is you shouldn't have to on a 3 month old ski. I would lean on them a little harder to do something about it, I would think most other manufacturers would sort it out.
  3. I get some of my gear sent to LA to be shipped here (Aus). We have contacts with containers which saves hugely on regular shipping costs.
  4. Mine doesn't have one and I don't want one, my kids are little and would likely use it if I had one, but they don't know any different so all is probably good until they start seeing others floating around. The main reason I don't want one is the not insignificant issue of getting swamped by G23's and the like getting around on the local public lake. I would think this alone is a deciding factor for folks on public lakes versus private.
  5. @waternut I find the needle is so thick it crosses between two numbers, don't know if it's 3 or 5, stupid things they are.
  6. @skinut see my post from a while ago, exact same problem. I ended up getting a shin guard but so far they all keep getting blown off from the water pressure on the leg, I need to find better ones I think. Gee my shin hurt and takes ages to heal. http://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/9944/reflex-shin
  7. Is the June edition out yet? I subscribe via the app on my ipad and regularly find monthly editions are running late. Does anyone else have this problem? I look forward each month to reading some new stuff and it really frustrates me when it doesn't show up. I don't know if it's the app store or the issue is just running late.
  8. @JackQ that is not the worst problem to have regarding your wife's opinion. Wish I had to deal with my wife coming skiing with me all the time.
  9. Right you are @Waternut, never dragged a leg myself.
  10. The Reflex is great, what staggers me is the R-style hasn't taken off more with high level skiers. Your foot doesn't move and fantastic safety, it's perfect!!
  11. @Onside135 the ultimate 'don't care what I look like, just get the job done' sort of guy.
  12. Masterline didn't give me one with my rope, I just recently got a Straightline one from Barts.
  13. It is a very good video, has all angles covered. Thankfully camera on turns copping the spray is kept to a minimum, maybe others could take note of that, seen it once seen it a thousand boring times. Good work Vincent & Thibaut.
  14. @Lieutenant Dan is the man! Coaching is your calling.
  15. Those excal ones are way easier than the stupid GT 40 ones.
  16. Absolutely no idea, my technique is where the problems are at.
  17. @yardsale I tend to agree. Colours and graphics are my go, I'm a signwriter. No offence but that blue, red purple is terrible, your idea of just simple white purple is good.
  18. He was one of my tips to step up this season, clearly he's not wasting any time.
  19. I love my '13 Prophecy, is it better than others? No idea.. Would love to try a Nano, but what is the point as it's too expensive to buy. My old Sixam is still a ripping ski IMO.
  20. I'm with you @swc5150 there is no sub 2000 on earth that should be over $20k, even one as clean as that.
  21. @slalom frog please keep us updated, this is great news. I feel a boost in masterline's bottom line coming, if the general sentiment on BOS is anything to go by.
  22. I didn't know ropes could go that short.
  23. thanks @ed_johnson that's the sort of info I was after. Each time I misgrab it makes we want to try a radius. The pathetic service they apparently offer has been turning me off the idea though. I am with you on Masterline too, got a knotless mainline recently from them and it's fantastic.
