    @Wish is it just the top layer, or down to the metal? if its the first some gorilla super glue works well for a while to pro long life.

    have to say showing 35/38/39 side by side was such a good way to do it.

    Tennis is the only one you could use as a similar sport, the others are team sports, which skiing is not.

    When I first started working for bill, a customer got me on the phone running around everywhere looking for this, now if you get me on the phone and ask for this, just know you will be buying my lunch with your CC that day, and steak isnt cheap right now! but if you get one of the newer guys, anyone beside me Danielle or bill, we will have a very good laugh! No worries! Sorry i was out friday but glad they got it turned around super fast!

    @vtjc I just replied to your email as well. some of the jumpers do use a skydive helmet, but they also will fly off in a bad crash. Mostly for if you take an out the front into the ramp.

    at 6'4 and 230 skiing under 34mph you are going to want that 71 to keep you on top of the water, going with the senate will be the best bet as when you do jump to faster speeds you will still be able to really stay aggressive on it.

    @Horton I know with nationals coming up everyone is a bit busy, but correct me if I am wrong, but looks like @Chet is the winner?

    I dont have his, it was just and older handle that got tossed before I was able to save everything else from the spring cleaning.

    Im sure many of you who go to ski with my dad know what this bag is..I finally decided it was time to use it again, as I have not touched it since he passed. I will be doing a video about it (the bag) and whats in it, and why he used certain things, and a sneak peak into one of his many notebooks. but before I did that I would be interested to see what other people have in there bag.

    It builds a bad habit of not skiing wide enough if done to much...Most people who do say the free ski at X speed at X rope length usually struggle in the course. I know some free skiers that put markers on the boat where rope length would be at the buoy to help. My dad used to make people free ski at full line length to prove they didnt really have any rope control, just relied on shorter rope to keep the rope tight, used to be funny to watch pros/really good skiers who couldnt run the course at full line at 32/34mph
