  1. I would definitely say that any more modern ski will be much much better.
  2. How good do people think that Andy would have been if he was the same age as Nate is and had the modern day equipment and training that Nate currently has?
  3. @scotchipman What about the ski feels so different when skiing on a wide ride?
  4. I'm also curious why Goode was one of the only companies that were big on a true wide ride and even a mid
  5. I have noticed that none of the current top of the line skis are "wide rides", is this because these skis weren't as good?
  6. That's one to tell the grandkids about someday!
  7. What would Trent have been meaning? I feel that he must believe that Nate is the best.
  8. The only thing that I know about the edge change is that the faster that you accelerate the earlier your ski will change edges.
  9. I was always under the impression that the undisputed best skier in the world is Nate Smith but after listening to the distance from center podcast I have heard Trent Finlayson refer to first Terry Winter then Will Asher as the best skier in the world. Is there something that I don't know?
  10. @Than_Bogan I love the death metal music in the background pumping you up
  11. Great commentating by Stevie!!! I got a lesson from him a bit ago and he is a great coach!
  12. Sorry to hear that you have a sore ankle! I am on the reflex binding with the Radar hrt, I strongly suggest trying this setup as it is as safe as anything and it rips!
  13. This ski is a great ski but it is awful at throwing up a big spray!!! How are you gonna impress the ladies with a tiny spray and a tiny something else???
  14. @Than_Bogan We need to see some video or it never happened lol!!!
  15. @Horton did you get eaten by an alligator on your ski lake? We all want the EVO review!!!!!
  16. The more that I ski on my 2018 Vapor the more that I realize that it loves speed into the turn especially if you get onto the tip of the ski approaching the turn, The addition of differential fin depth by way of adding two washers beneath the middle fin block screw makes the onside turn insanely effortless and snappy, this makes you early into your offside turn with a good edge change and a tight line.
  17. Nate Smith is still very good at slalom, who could have guessed?
  18. @SkiJay I remausered and it turns out that I'm at 29 3/4
  19. I have the 66" 2018 Vapor and I feel the same way about the ski, I'm at 6.965 2.455 .765. with the boots at 30.00. How much should I try moving my DFT? @SkiJay
  20. And make Nate Smith great again! We want him back in tournaments!
  21. I'm probably going to seem like an idiot for saying this but I have never heard of Dane Mechler, 3 at 41 is nothing to shake a stick at!
  22. Tried skiing with two washers that create differential fin depth and wow! Onside was magical and this inadvertently helped my offside because of the speed and early edge change that the amazing onside created!
  23. I'm running my 66" with the fin at 6.965 2.455 .765. I started with the binding at 29.5 and and thought that my setup was perfect but this morning I skied with the front boot moved forward one hole to around 29 3/4 and it was even better, Man I love this ski! Now I'm gonna get some washers and try differential fin depth and see how that treats me.
