    @DanE skiing below freezing isn't that unusual here in WI. Not a fan of the light bulb. Why not just drain it? Takes a couple minutes and no worries.

    I'd expect to find Deena telling someone that they're not letting that ski go for $15, he broke his own world record on that ski, 3 TIMES! Now come up with $50 or get off of my driveway.

    I can cut you a sweet deal on a revolt with a new bindings (medium venom and rtp). PM me your email if you want pics.

    The one that won't post is the better. Andy Mapple with my brother. Makes me smile because he is neither a slalom guy, nor a correctcraft guy. He does however know what a big deal that was.

    An 8 megapixle camera and the ability to shoot 1080p video make my cell more than adequate for nearly everything we do.

    nullSecond is little brother at a CorrectCraft dealers' meeting.

    First is a buddy picking up the sport.

    wouldn't want to forward a copy to madcityskier@yahoo.com, would you?

    Went to look for Grimditch, but stopped looking after finding some old home video.

    Had both posters. My brothers and I still have the WG trickskis from EP that we mowed lawns to buy. Bindings are shot, but they're still a ton of fun.

    knees? back? Makes my head hurt. I'm gonna go get a beer and try to forget this thread.

    Hey 19, your mirror is still upside down. Still like the pic though.

    Plenty cold to try it out in WI. 28 for the high tomorrow, we'll be out. Come on up.

    What's your old ski? Old is relative. I still have an old Cypress Gardens Lil Monster on hand. Thunk I'll continue to let that bea decoration. It's cherry, but I think it may be outdated.

    So lifting the heel during your pull out, but not necessarily during the run? I can see where it would shift you forward, but I'm not sure I would see it as you're getting ready to finish the turn and start loading the line. If the problem is just at the gates I can see where it would be the answer.

    If you can receive ups or fedex try skiitagain.com. Decent deals on used items so that as you get in better shape by skiing more you wont be so tied into a new ski and you can use some of the money to put toward a higher performance ski as you get in better shape and advance your skiing.

    If focusing on your leg position seems weird, try to think of pulling your hips forward on the ski. Your center of balance in that stance looks to be on the arch of your rear foot, I've been told that it should be centered on the arch of your front foot. Better skiers that me with greater understanding of modern technique should be able to weigh in on whether this is correct.

    I missed the point. I'm a cheesehead with one daughter. She skis a bit, but not in the course. Hurt her hip in July, and still recovering. My regular crew is another slalom skier and a wakeboarder. I do a little wake boarding, but I suck at it.

    If you're there anyway check out the Orlando Watersports Complex. Also, for eats check out Agave Azul and Four Rivers Smokehouse, both are amazing.

    Was never that great in the first place. Too busy now. For an old offensive lineman around 285lbs on a torn up knee I feel like I do OK.

    These skis do break down with age. You should at least demo a new ski, you might find that people are right. The Pulse should only have adjustment on the wing angle. I'd suggest starting it around 8°. I also believe that we generally moved the bindings one hole forward most of the time. That said, guys leave him alone. He loves his ski. Don't we all. I've seen people ski amazingly well on much worse. He'll know when he's ready to make a change.

    I had a few friends who used to ski the asymetrical MasterCraft ski (whatever that was called). After they demo'd and bought that, it was usually one set on my LaPointe Pro that would get them to change over. I'm not saying there's nothing to it, I'm just not sure that there is.

    I've had great luck with these even when there's ice on the shallows near where we're skiing. A similar wetsuit hood will also work wonders, though if you don't your face wet a nice toque can do wonders. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Chota-Neo/Fleece-Cold-Water-Gloves&i=33085&str=gloves&merchID=4005

    Skibrain, if you're interested I can recommend so great cold water gloves. They'll keep you warm when the water is 32.5.

    Still going strong in WI. 34 air and 44 water this morning. Though I did give up the shorty for a full 3/2 suit today. Still plenty nice though.
