  1. Agreed, the white/black ones were great....then the red/black suffered from too short a palm strap. Does anyone know if this might have been remedied with the current yellow/black version? @Horton , didn't you recently un-box some??
  2. #8-32 x 5/8" SS flat head w/ the "cone washers"
  3. To save others the time of looking....Perfski shows (blank) price of Radar Lithium Senate at $1,199 and Radar Lithium Vapor at $1,499. The Lithium Senate available in 65/67/69/71
  4. @Stevie Boy , I bet you'll getter better advice if you care to share... your age, height, current weight, & weight goal? My 2 cents (and I'm no expert) generally give it a couple months to "shake out", as you initially may be replacing fat with (heavier) muscle. What does the mirror show? My diet theory is simple...."move more, eat less", but someone surely will chime in regarding the calorie count. Possibly your body has gone into "starvation mode" to protect itself? Keep up the good work...that looks to be an admirable routine.
  5. fyi, noticed Masterline has their new ergo handle up on their website. No pics yet. masterlineusa.com/Shop-By-Sport/Slalom-Handles/
  6. Some more info in this thread... ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/12163/intow-handles-users-any-crossbar-reviews
  7. No problems ever on my iMac OS X 10.9.5, using Safari Version 7.1 No longer any issues w/my iPhone 6 (iOs 8.1.1), a welcome relief from previously having to log in every time accessing BOS on this phone as well as iPhone 5 and 4.
  8. My "boat guests" are a bit spoiled....67" Radar Senate w/ Std Vector boot and RTP. I also keep one of those deep V training handles on the boat. Actually got a newbie up on his first try this summer (then told him it was 90% driver)
  9. @colo_skier‌ 7:25pm here on east coast...no sign of your email yet (incl spam check). Update- 9:00pm still nothing. Larry/SIA will return your email (I contacted him last week...took only a day or so to get his response)
  10. @colo_skier‌ I have a yahoo email (which was supposed to be one of the problem domains with SIA). Last week I sold a ski thru SIA without email issue, and also got an email inquiry on the ML Carbon Handle I have on there. If you want, feel free to send me a "mock/test" email inquiry on the handle I have on there SIA#30279. I usually reply pretty quickly to confirm your message came thru.
  11. Hey, I'm going to be asking Santa for a new spectra Intow handle. While diameter and length are a matter of preference, I'm wondering if anyone has any feedback specific to the ($15) "Crossbar" or ($20) "tubing" options that Brenda makes available? TIA...
  12. I had a similar issue w/ ML on a new knotless where some "twisting/beehive funk" formed in 3 sections of the rope. Called and sent pix, and they promptly sent replacements for those three sections. Customer Service was great. I will probably go back to their regular Dlx mainline next time around.
  13. goode.com/wsfinadj.html#download @gsm_peter‌ FYI... If you follow the link above and go to the bottom of page, you can download a "paper template" of gauges. I would guess that 7deg, 8deg, and 9deg are most popular
  14. @LOTW see picture demonstrating use of "rectangular jig"
  15. @LOTW I have the D3 wing gauges and don't need to use the "rectangular jig" when checking/adjusting the wing on my Vapor. Depending on the wing placement on some skis, the "jig" can be used as "an extension"...if the wing gauges are not large enough to get a measurement.
  16. Those Easy up or deep-v style starter handles help immensely. I keep one in the boat. Actually got someone up this year on their first try ever.
  17. Switched to Reflex (w/RTP) last year. I'm RFF with a high arch and instep. Without an insole, my foot "crushes" and ski immediately goes left. I use a Powerstep insole which straightens things out. I've got a great set of custom beds in my snowski boots that I wish could handle water.
  18. Ugh. I'd prefer to spare you my story, but I'm 47 and had a bicep tenodesis procedure 12 months ago (my shoulder had "frozen" the summer before, and I couldn't get rid of chronic bicep tendonitis). The Shoulder specialist in Boston found long head to be pathological and torn longitudinally. Unfortunately other findings (while in there) included compression problems, bursitis, superior & posterior labrum tears, full thickness cartilage loss, arthritis, etc. The joint was "cleaned up"...but I wish it weren't... far worse now. First follow up, Doc told me I'm "a cardio guy from now on" and too young for the full shldr replacement I need. Now sucking it up (cortisone and lots of "Vitamin i") in hopes of improved medical technology. While I believe that the tenodesis procedure statistically is highly successfuly, I still have pain around the bicipital groove...as well as a whole bunch of new pain in the joint. In hindsight, I wish my bicep had severed. As you probably know, you can easily get by and ski without the long head. While I would have had the "popeye" thing, at least I wouldn't have been made aware of my toasted shoulder. Fortunately, skiing is one of the things I can still do (really helps to keep the handle low, and let the boat pull/traction the handle up on my offside.) Should mention, post-op pain wasn't too bad. I wasn't a candidate for nerve block. I only did a day and a half of oxy, then Ibuprofen. Ice, sling, light PT I wish you the best of luck and relief.
  19. @waterskigirl Have you considered adding a "gift certificate" purchase option on your website? I looked a couple weeks back but couldn't find one.
  20. Someone is smiling after buying that ski for under $700.
  21. @LeonL the gloves will be on their way to you shortly (hopefully picking up some of Horton's magic along the way).
  22. With all the great reviews on the new Masterline Curves, I guess I am the exception, but used them half dozen times and developed callous problems (which I almost never get). I went back to the boa.
  23. Not a dumb question. The Camaros are so stretchy, my guess is that it wouldn't matter. Robby's Ski shop is a sponsor on this site. She (Robby) would be the best one to ask. They sell both Eagle and Camaro products.
