@6balls it has never been through the course yet. We got it when it was drysuit season. I assure you it will be through it this summer

Hello ballers! I, like most of you, am a skiing addict. I think about skiing most of the day. I love having a website where I can talk ski all the time. I truly was not living until I discovered this site during the summer. @franks and I usually can be found swerving during the summer either at his house which is on a lake or with a show-ski team that we are both on. There are not a whole lot of opportunities to ski a course near us so we mainly free-ski. I have recently made a few videos. I am 16 and I hope to go to a college that has a 3-event team. That is my goal! I would love to be a product designer someday and work for a ski company. The skiing community had some us the most successful people and I would like to thank all you. My family recently sold our cobalt(I/o) late this season because it was impossible for me to ski on and picked up an 05 196 that I am very excited to ski on! I also upgraded my phantom truth to a Senate-C with stradas and can't wait to give it a rip! This site has taught me sooo much. Before, I had no idea what DFT meant but I have a lot more to learn from you ballers.

@ab I do enjoy looking at your profile picture

@ski6 nice stick man looks sick

@chef23 mine are touching and I'm not sure they can get any closer than that.

@ob @thager would would one get a dash re-done like those. I have a 05 196 but it doesn't have any of that "chrome" looking stuff on the dash pod and steering wheel. I think that was an upgrade. Also it doesn't have a stero/speakers so I might be checking into that as well

Thanks @the_krista your always so helpful :)

@rq0013 where in oconomoc are you? @franks lives on silver lake

no no @mattp feedback is good and what I need; no worries

I was thinking about getting one of those wooden or plastic fin protectors? Is that a good idea even if im not gonna touch my fin settings?

@mattp even if it was on carpet?

@doonez @horton

I cannot wait! Summerfest is one of the best weeks of the summer and Malibu Open will just make it even better. I know it will be a crazy week for me! Looking forward to see all the pros-@franks and I live about 20 minutes away from the site so you can bet we will be there at all hours and we hope to meet some more ballers!

@horton I like the video, but my question is why is the GoPro on your head? Gives a nice look tho.

A Masterline knotless mainline

yes, @franks I think that you need a new setup and you should convince your parents

why is the rowing machine so good?

I have used/drank a few different protiens. My biggest advice is to go to GNC and ask for help there. Those guys know a lot and can help you out with anything. As far as taste goes: GNC MASS XXX taste like concrete wixed with wet socks. The Black Label Mass Gainer from GNC is pretty good and it comes in a few tasty flavors. Does anyone reccommend a pre-workout drink?

I personally think that that is the coolest colorway ever created. If I had the money, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

@thepantsmancan don't take this the wrong way but what looks "cooler"? The person who nonchalantly unzips their vest with no struggle or the guy who is taking 10 minutes to take off his vest with the help of his 2 other friends while the babes watch from the pier and say,"wow, that guy is really cool".

Putting on: Fine Taking off: Pain in the you know what @bracemaker I have had that happen to me several times and it hurts very bad. Are there any ways to get around that or to heal it fast?

@doonez you are 16? I am too and so is @franks but don't listen to what he has to say on here

@doonez the sequence plate is a single plate for both the front and rear. It allows to make smaller adjustments. 1/8 rather than 1/4. Also, it allows the ski to flex freely.

Yeah I hope Rossi will run 41. What about the 2013 strada?

Stradas. Seriously the most comfortable bindings ever. It feels like you are wearing a sock. Make sure you get the sequence plate with them.
