Can you imagine the handle dings?

Sounds like you're a genuine candidate for a grip switch🤛🤜

Loose some weight. Go back to a one-handed gate.

Hovercraft, hands down. I've taught people to slalom without ever getting up on 2 prior. No boom, no easy-up. Just point it away from the rope a bit. 🧨

So there's a chance! Circling back to the fact that slalom skiing is really difficult and surfing is pretty much the easiest thing to do behind a boat besides tubing.

It does seem to end up slalom-detrimental

Yes!

Oh, ok, I thought this thread was about mounting hardshells on a sequence plate. If it's about getting your binding off, the best way is to have a utility knife with a clean, sharp blade and cut just above the horseshoe and wherever else is needed after that. The second best way is unscrew all the screws. This takes time and I suggest that if your leg is broken you won't really care about a $250 binding. You probably won't want to use it again anyway. Both of these tools are in most boats. ask me how I know 😉

@swbca I’m sorry, but what the heck are you talking about??

I always check the impeller housing on spring start. When you're attaching the hoses back up you might also want to prime the system

That's exceptional, I'd say that's worth over $20, but $28 might be a bit much(?) There's always the "Do you need zero off?" question . Original perfect pass is great if you're not a tournament skier

Never heard of that engine, but I don't think I've seen over $20k or under $15k

@101driver the answer is a definite Yes.

Seriously?

With ski boots it's a bit easier because we're finding a spot that hurts, so the tapping-hammer method is very effective 😬 We also mark the liner with black lip stick, put the boot on, and it marks the inside. With black hardshells, idk, do they make silver or white lipstick? Dry erase markers work too, but I don't know of those come in light colors either.

I'm considering a Foot-o-Scope

Agreed. this might clarify or confuse more: Your ankle is the constant, the difference of your bare foot and to where you measure at the "heel" of your binding is obviously how thick the binding is. So, if you find your ankle in your binding, mark it with a silver marker or whatever, find where you measure to on the binding, then just do the math. Bob's your uncle. The big variable/unknown is who defines "stock" and how far their ankle is from their heel. If Joe Cash says, "29 5/8 is money", and I go to 29 5/8, my ankle is 1/2" too far forward (not money)

Tap on your binding with a small hammer to find your medial malleolus. Place your bare foot against a wall and use a square to get your heel-to-ankle distance, then you can measure to your ankle from now on

Seems like extending the deadline to get the site up to snuff is better than moving it lock, stock, and barrel, 3 seas away, ? Unless the Greece site is completely ignoring iwwf, or they need to add a lake.

Omg...

or if all Monzas just sit there on the couch watching Friends reruns. 🐕

Touché-- Changing towels are nice though. You should try one👍

Another way to look at alpine skis is their camber goes away. It fairly common to MRI carbon bike frames to see if they are compromised. The tester has to be very trained, however, and I don't think it's cheap. I suppose we should ask ourselves if it matters ? The most 39s I ran were on a ski I bought on SIA for $400. I imagine the first owner thought it was dead.

@Horton I’m not aware of any measurement of decline in snow skis' rebound. Mostly the pilot says, "These are dead". There are other variables prior to tossing a snow ski (no edge left, hit a rock...). Skis that don't work on ice can work in dry cold "aggressive " snow (Vermont--> Colorado). *we're talking about elite-level racing here, not powder skis in Utah
