    I normally ski A2 34mph but after reading JMac's post I was having a pretty good set last week so I tried some changes, last 4 passes at 22 off were, A2, A3, B2 & C2, can't say I noticed a massive difference but did find A2 easiest. Last month I tried C1 and although 22 was easy I couldn't run 28 with it but had no problems when I went back to A2.

    This video is from the first round of the 2016 European Championships in Spain where Sacha scored 3 @ 41 so would guess this is his 39 pass.

    Update on the 3.4, I turn 65 next month and thought I would try 32mph in preparation for next year, I had never been past 3 ball at 32 off 32mph before but got 3.5 first attempt and ran it on the second and managed 1 at 35 off a couple of times, so something is working B)

    Schnitz did an "Innerview" with Sacha back in 2005 here is a link to it http://www.schnitzskis.com/innerviews.html

    Never had any problems since I put this piggy back AAA on, doesn't look pretty but does the job

    @Horton I have had that problem and it was caused by a bad battery connection.

    Monza, pb'd in a comp while it was still on demo and added 8 tournament buoys in a season on it.

    I am not one of the most technical skiers around, I have been on my Denali since mid June and am really getting to like it now. I am starting to find what @Wish and @Than_Bogan have been saying about being easy on the body is true and am finding the less I do the better the ski performs. In our last competition of the year last weekend I scored 1 & 1.5 @ 32 off, the first time I have ran 28 off in a competition since 2008 when zero off came on the scene and I managed it in consecutive rounds.

    I have watched @Deep11 on his last 3 skis and always admired how early he hit the buoy line which I think shows in the 12m pass on his 6.0 above, the picture below was taken at 13m on his Rev 6 and shows a radical difference in his line through the course. All this talk about the 6.0 is making me think about taking mine back from my wife if I am brave enough.

    I ran a pass at 32 off last year age 63, yet to do it again this year but like @Horton still looking for more

    I attached the rope so no one to blame but myself but was happy to find the rope hadn't broke.

    This still hurts when I watch it, was daft enough to have the same fall again last year, have since changed my front binding.

    I got this for my birthday, pretty much sums me up :o

    Broke a thin crust of ice to ski on Sunday BI of -54, only managed one set each getting soft in our old age, looking forward to a couple of sets today BI forecast is -24.

    Reflex mod

    Cam replied to Cam's topic in Skis Fins Bindings

    @dchristman I used 4mm by 30mm stainless, bought them off EBay 99p for 10 delivered, in Europe the original bolts are 4mm and a good fit.

    I have recently moved to a Reflex 750 after a spate of 404 breakages, only wish I had done it sooner. I have noticed a lot 500 & 750 releases wear out quickly at the "hinge" where they attach to the plate, when I received my set up the hinge screws were fully threaded and I can only see that working as a saw on the mild steel arms, I bought some longer bolts with shanks and cut them down to hopefully make my release last longer.

    When my wife got back into skiing at the age of 57 I got an HO Triumph for her which was great for her confidence, she had no plans to run the course but 4 years later she is running it on her blue Fischer, never say never.

    Mid-loops

    Cam replied to rok's topic in Technique & Theory

    Mid loops are not so great if you don't know they are on the rope you are using. I borrowed a friends rope at a ski school without knowing he had a mid loop between 22 & 28, I started at 15 and shortened the rope 4 times and both me and the coach were sure I had ran 32 for the first time, it was not until the next day and I had told the world we realised the mistake.

    Last year I watched on my IPad and laptop at the same time so random adverts would be on at different times

    I retro fitted a Zero Off system to 2008 Nautique 196 with a PCM engine five years ago and it was very simple just plug & Play.

    10 days into a 4 week recovery period after an eye operation with walking being the only exercise allowed and I feel like climbing the walls, especially when I look at my webcam and see the ice has melted and my mates are out skiing again, enough to drive a man to drink
