  1. I'm definitely no pro but I've been doing it wrong all along, once upon a younger time I ran into 38 most every set, I've tried once or twice to switch and that's a no-go, if you have a physical limitation that says that grip or nothing then go ski and have fun,
  2. Yeah my holes show up on my down hand, right hand below the pinky and ring finger, same on every pair of gloves, kevlar last longer but much harder on my hands, if the legends lasted just a touch longer i would have stayed with them.
  3. I tried a pair this year, my go to glove the last few years is the 41 tail, the legend gloves were about the same grip and a little easier on my palms but i trashed them within a month or so, not as durable as the kevlar. In all fairness my death grip style is really hard on gloves,
  4. So serious long shot but here goes, generally the reason an air leak on the suction side will cause overheating is because an air pocket behind the thermostat won't open it, how many hours are on this thing? Any chance it's popped a head gasket and is building a pocket of combustion gas in the coolant passage? With an open cooling system it will be hard to know for sure. Any misfire codes? Slight sputter at start up? Maybe pull all the plugs and see if one looks "washed"? Like i said a long shot but none of the usual stuff has fixed it.
  5. We once rented a "subcompact sedan", turned out to be a 4 door pontiac sunfire........the rental company for some reason had removed the release gizmo to fold down the back seat.........the ski fits in the back seat but not very easily. Sport tubes usually have to be emptied and condensed to fit in most any car is my experience.
  6. Last week i had a vaca on keuka lake in the finger lakes in western ny, lake had gone up 14 inches the week before, idle within 500 ft of shore was the rule with multiple warnings about debris, like trees, and docks and whatnot floating about. At least it kept the surf boats away but still.....
  7. I may be crazy but my opinion is something with the dual loc has changed, for a long time i used 4 full strips of the 250 clear and no problems, several years back i re-taped a plate and it would release on the platform as i bent forward to buckle in. It's like the tape to tape bond is not nearly as strong as it was like 10-ish years back. Now I pretty much cover the plate and ski, looks scary but still lets loose in a hard crash..........which fortunately is rare......he says while knocking on his own skull.
