Facebook rumours say Sesena, Spain.

Looked like he was gonna run it, but he crashed very hard in the second round at 4.5@41.

The result ! Not having a metal workshop at home ... took more effort than I anticipated.

On my new D3 I cannot align the right middle screw of the rear toe with the centerline. Therefor my rear foot is not nicely centered over the back of the ski. To correct this I need to move the whole binding about half an inch to the left. And this is not possible with the holes available in the PTP-binding. So therefor I need to make a new plate that suits my rear toe positioning. @BraceMaker So it is not the rotation or the forward or backward positioning which is a problem in my case. @Not_The_Pug I have an G10 plate, but it is not wide enough such that I can drill holes that use 4 inserts to attach it properly. So my plan is to get a metal plate, type 6061 (thanks all for the type specification), drill some holes, glue a rubber foam pad on the bottom and try it out.

At my old KD, the right middle screw of the rear toe is alligned with the centerline of the ski.This is my favourite position.

@BraceMaker On the ski is a sticker telling that the ski does not have a rentention plate, and that inserts must be used to mount the plate for the rear toe.

Hi, the standard PTP rear toe binding for my D3 trick ski does not allow me to position the rear toe at the position I like. Since I must use the inserts, I have to make a custom binding plate. Since I don't want the plate to rust, I have the following question: What is the specification of the metal that I should use for the binding plate? Is the plate typically 100% aluminum or is an alloy? Kind regards, Tom

@eleeski Thanks. Enjoyed your trip reports of Seseña.

Beatrice Ianni, @sbevski is now also live. The Italian chatting gives me the feeling being there :)

@scotchipman Open men Final Slalom follows the ladies trick final according to iwwfed-ea.org. The ladies tricks final just finished.

@MattP , thanks for the link.

I am lucky to have been several times in a competition where he participated. I admired him. Though I don't know him personally, I do feel sad. Condolences to the family.

FYI: Heard that Nate & Freddie will be meeting again on Saturday May 30, 2015 at the Swiss Pro Slalom competition, a $10,000 Cash Prize Event at the Swiss Ski School in Clermont Florida. Will be exciting to watch.
