TylerR

Ok I hear molded them this morning and alot of the bounce I was talking about is gone. I'm still not sure about them but that was a major improvement in their performance for me at least

Thanks alot. I'll report back after the mornings' ski sets and let ya know if it fixed my problem.

I'll do that in the morning before I go ski my sets. Any suggestions on the best way to do it or should I just go google it?

I've been skiing on my new 2011 Strada Boots for at least 5 passes a morning for the last 4 weeks and am still not used to them. They feel a little too soft for me and I seem to sink into them almost too much when I am trying to make a hard cut. Does anyone have any advice for how to stiffen them up a little bit or how to adjust my skiing so that them being so forgiving isn't as big a deal. I am in love with the new ski and boots, but I am really finding at moments i miss my old wiley customs.

He writes the best reviews I've ever read. It will be a major blow if we don't get some good reviews this year.

wow that is a nice new feature... I suggest we start a Permanent We Love Horton Thread to cover all these topics :)

@Horton I'm down either way... I couldn't give up a chance to see the great ball of hair ski shortline in person.

@horton I'll be in the Orlando area for the next 2 months on and off with work. I'd pay for a couple of rounds to see the ball of hair ski in person.

@horton lies... I thought your day job was reading and moderating my every word.

@horton post details of your trip some of us are on buisness in the area for the next few weeks

Ok I really like @Horton's idea the more i think about it... but I do have one last funny one...

 

BallOfSpray we screw up your wakeboard water and then drink your beer.

@Horton wholey baby Jesus

@Ed Johnson say it ain't so

I second the melatonin it's awesomeness in a supplement.

@horton if it were not for you and this site I would not be skiing at this level again. I do not doubt that I would have picked up the sport again, but I would probably have never reentered the course. You and all of your hard work have brought back my love for chasing balls and it is a debt that I will probably never be able to repay.

 

Ps: I am sorry for the horribly spelled skier profile I sent you and krista. I'm certain that it took many hours to make it readable.

I still think "All hail Horton" or "Horton's Who's" would be funny

@skidawg funny...

 

How about

 

"BallOfSpray don't leave the kids or wives unattended."

"BallOfSpray we aren't ok."

@Horton arent there already like 3 of them constantly running about that, where they also suggest that the rest of us are just ball hunting zombies ...hmmmm brains......

wait wait I have a second one

 

"All Hail Horton"

"BallOfSpray, because you can only ski during the daylight."

I've been skiing since i was 4 years old, and there was a time that I really looked up to the pro skiers and what they accomplished on the course. Just because someone who skies BD gets a piece of 4 @ 41 at the same site Nate gets 3 @ 41 doesn't in my mind change what Nate and the others are accomplishing. When I first came back to this horrible addiction(j/k), for the last 2 years I ran at 34mph and got my confidence back up. Now this season for the first time in 6 or 7 years I'm heading back into the course at 36. The difference is pretty obvious to anyone who ski's and that is the only real audience our sport has at the moment. I agree with John that we need to market and push our sport better, but it is hard to make an argument that BD is hurting the Pro's when the only people who are really watching at the moment are people who all can easily understand the difference. If the Pro's are really worried about the BD's damaging their brand and that brand's ability to make money, then they need to go after the market that the BD skiers are reaching and not complain about what they feel they might be loosing. In my business if I feel that a competitor is taking market share I go after that market share just like @jayski said.

I found one on Ski It Again... Everything was amazing It arrived today... if only it wasn't 39 degrees outside today as a high...

Buoys, Beer, Free Time, John Horton, Work
