Haha, beautiful living room with a fireplace and you got a home gym in there. Maine is one of the best places in the country to live, they state supports Ron Paul

I saw that picture yesterday, That was actually one of my ideas. I dont have the backpack to do that and I dont trust plastic buckles to withstand 70mph winds for 4 hours.

Dude I'd totally go see you but I cant. You think rain is bad there? It rained nearly 27 days straight last year in July here. JULY! Having a driver is also an issue to buying a boat. I cant even get people out for dinner most of the time, how am I supposed to convince someone to have fun on a lake every weekend of the summer?

I can only say what I ride, an Elite.

Months ago I asked the best way to carry a ski on a motorcycle. I didnt like the answers too much but I found a way. I cut traffic way to much to lay the ski across the back and I dont trust korean drivers AT ALL. So far only once has the ski cought wind and flew sideways and I've gotten a lot better and finding the right technique to tying it to the bike. So far 850 kilometers and no issues. Btw, a shop worker said Will Asher was coming to Korea in June, anyone know about this?

75cm or 29.5inches

OB youre giving me contradictory advice

Let me rephrase that. I didnt check because i thought id give it another try as it was.

no I didnt

Went another 2 rounds today. Much better, and only fell twice. Still gotta work on timing and rhythm as well as my chronic failure to put my hips up. Come to the outside, decelerate and then cut like a DJ. I'll take video next week.

What? 29 1/4 from the rear of the front boot to where? What are these length dept and back to fin measurements?

67" Elite. Im 150lbs. I dont know what speed I go at though.

Sunny weather and chilly choppy water at about 65 degrees, but it didn't matter since it was the first time of the season and good water or bad wasn't going to influence me too much. Not many people were skiing and I made some comparisons with the KD 7000 rentals there--they are archaic heavy and thick. After researching skis all winter I actually know what I'm looking at now. 90lb Korean women ball up with a new A2. I know some of you warned me about the Elite being unstable and DANG you were right. I could barely stay up for two turns and I ate it 4 times in a one mile run. Usually we take a rest for a minute before turning around but since I already fell 3 times I just signaled the driver to not stop. Then I fell again. A lot of it had to do with the first time being out, and my co-ordination was bad, working out in the gym can cause muscle imbalance when doing something else, also that Elite is effin fast and Im not ready for that speed at the moment. I remember the KD 7000 feeling fast for a while until I got used to it and tried some other skis. I had to make really light turns to keep in control of the thing and stay up and I was no where near pulling or turning as hard as I could have. I did get the hang of it for a couple cuts and it felt great. Some other notes: Last year I was skiing two handed all the time and so I made it a goal to switch hands this year which I actually did pretty well and I think the long break, watching a ton of video and visualizing helped me start the new habit. I also hit a baseball right handed and switching to a left handed grip will take some more getting used to. I should have a lot of this ironed out by mid July if I go consistently. GLOVES ARE GREAT. Last year I was all manly and going bare handed, and it was havok on my hands especially with all the weight training. Even though it was one round my hands/skin felt fine. They also kept them warmer whereas the rest of my body was cold. (Here's a quick note, if your feet, ears, and hands are warm then the rest of you body isn't nearly as affected, I learned this from scuba diving in Janary on Korea's north east coast, you know the one thats not far from Russia). The Elite didnt feel as thin or light as I remember it, but then again I havent been riding on the KD 7000 for a month to compare. The thing turns like a beast though, SO much less effort. The line is 18.25 meters/ 15off to start which is good. If i can get to 28 off the summer will be a success. Not sure how much course running I want to do. For now I'll just free ski until I get the feeling back and then go for it.

Dang, you cats gotta stop competing. Just chill.

Its difficult to find a ski. I skied almost exclusively on an old kd 7000 last year. I tried a few others but the elite seemed the best on just one run. A lot of people tried to steer me away from buying one but i NEED to buy what ive ridden and so do you. Try some skis if you can. I know it can be difficult to say "hey can i borrow your ski for a couple passes" but thats what youre going to have yo do i did get the elite abd there may yet be a better ski out there for me but ill buy it when i ride it.

Nah man. 웟 더 퍽 is wtf in korean. Actually im not sure how to say it but the sanitized version is 세상에 meaning "what in the world?"

Didnt any of you jive suckas observe your parents growing up? I'm 24 and I would have just done what he woman said. It doesnt matter what I think, its what she wants.

Im all for free speech BUT... ...dont you want someone who stands on principle?

Tempure Pedic cloud mattress: $1600 Sony NEX 5n: $900 67" Elite Ski: $900 Animal Binding: $210 HO RTP: $100 Radar power lock gloves: $100 Neil Pryde vest that looks sweet: $90 HO Syndicate Ski bag: $70 Gym membership for that shirtless body: $600 Ready for summer!

They are the red version. Clearly the gloves are faulty if this many people report a hole in the same spot. Ill give them another try and judge whether or not it will be an issue.

Thats exactly where they were split at the store. I should get back there soon and buy them. A hole like that cant affect anything.

Alright. No white heater tops, they get dirty. Animals are so-so to junk, but no comment on the attacks. We'll see. No comment on the co-ordination of locking gloves so maybe I'll get the tails for cheap.

Wow. I looked at the map and the number of places to ski is surprising. Lake Pepin, Minnesota is the birthplace of water skiing, I've been through there and its the land of 10,000 lakes, how are there not more places to ski? When people scoffed at me for being from Minnesota saying I was country. I always scoffed back, Minneapolis/St. Paul is a big area, we have teams in all 4 major sports and we have the largest mall in the world. Its clear that those people were right.

Horton you have the hardcore market cornered. The forum is among the friendliest ive seen so your goals have been met as you already know. The goal now should be to make it as easy as possible to get people on skis. Costs are an issue for people as is accessibility. i gotta go to work now ill explain more some other time.

Develop a maps in each state of all the places to ski with a course or a lake to ski at. I did so with a map of Korea. I actually went into a dealers store and found their own map on the wall, I got 95% of the locations right but zooming in on all the lakes. Of course you dont want to lable 5000 lakes in Minnesota or Florida, but make a map of all the locations with a ski club or a course.
