Yes trends are always changing anf AF is F'd. Im sure other clothing stores are more convenient. The software phone computer tablet and videogame industries have been changing faster. Good thing the charges are clearly told to me because at those prices you might want to hide it. First my life is.dull and boring and now you want me to sit in front of a computer and buy your half destroyed clothing? My most loved clothes are being worn by korean women and summer is coming... The rest are in my closet. I express love to my friends by taking them skiing. Ill admit i have 2 AF jackets and i love them. But i bought them at a 75% discount after they "fell off the back of a truck" gotta love asian street markets.

In this ad they told me my life is dull and boring as is my wardrobe, their clothing can make my life interesting, its ok to empty my pockets on their overpriced clothing because everyone else shopping there to seek validation does. By saying theres no age limit they aknowledgd that only young people.wear their clothing but theyd like to sell it to older people... Who seek validation through material things. casual basis? so.if we wear this clothing somewhere nice we will be exposed as phonies trying to be cool? Your highly durable clothing is half destroyed and sold as a new style. Did orwell call this doublethink.or double speak? Last i checked your garments saturated the market and A and F was losing its cool factor with young kids because everyone had it and it was too expensive. Cheaper stores with clothing that didnt brand its owners were eating your lunch. i would.have written more and quoted parts directly but im typing this on my phone. Someone said a year ago that he would not hire me to be in marketing. Maybe i shouldnt be but i can sure expose marketing speak for what it is. on a final note goverments lie and so do corporations. Their tactics goals and results are one in the same

Eddie my point exactly.

Change at the beginning of the season when all you can do is suck. I wiped out 4 times my first time out last year. No big deal. I borrowed am S1 for a run once in june and i took 3 nasty spills. Ski6jones has some good advice. Take a couple runs on your old ski to get the rust off then change.

At first i really was serious about running the course and progressing correctly. Ive tried going down to30 and 32 to practice running the course at 15 off when i free skied at 34 and 22 off. I thought id go slow amd climb my way up but one day after some really good free skiing i said eff it, failure be damned. I told my driver 22 off at 34 on the course. He looked at me funny knowing how much i could barely run the course at 30 mph and horribly at 32mph at 15 off. But he did what i said. Five minutes later im feeling a rush of victory and pure win having ran 22off at 34mph TWICE! so i just didnt start the course thinking 30-32 was for girls. I was honestly trying to do things as you guys would have told me to do it. At the end of the day your guys advice is advice as is mine. I weighed my options and abilities and went for it and succeeded. Btw you guys were right about outboard vs inboard. Also the times ive dropped the boat speed down to run the course has really screwed up my timing at 34mph leading to frustration and lack of fun if i wanted frustration id go play golf. So yes you say my comments are ignorant. Maybe id be a better amd more consistent skier if i progressed properly. My experience tells me whats possible not the way things should be done. i hope this explains things well.

@ral sure thing ral. My current level is being able run 28off at 34mph without going through the gates. On one hand you could say that if i dont do the gates then i cant run the course. I view it the other way. If i can run the course then surely i can do the gates... I just cant get the timing down and im really inconsistent on my initial pull. As good as my boat driver is at coaching he hasnt told me how to do gates along with a couple mental blocks.

I suppose everyone finds the gates easy but me. Your point about a good skier hitting the gates is the same as mine but in reverse. A good skier will go the path of the gates if they are not there. Maybe i need proper teaching. The couple times i tried threading the gates i went way too early and shifted direction two or three time and after i was through id hustle out to ball one and miss or make such a pathetic turn that there was no way id be getting to ball 2.

I dont know much about the quattro. It just appears to be the second tier or sister to the alpha the same way the S2 is to the A2. Ill check out the razors bottom again. gloss finish isnt indicative of performance but id imagine a smoothe gloss finish shoots you through the water faster than a matte finish thus my consumer demand. Can you tell me more about the sans rival production process and how the elite is dated. I understand that its no longer sold, fell out of favor with skiers and didnt light up obriens profits like they hoped it would but what makes it old?

I have seen a sans rival in person but i havent inspected it too closely. The bottom of the ski isnt gloss and thanks for informing me that its not rtm. The razor has a matte finish. I was just at a shop last weekend that sells all the razor skis in the country. If the razor does have a high gloss finish then we have different definitions of what a gloss finish is.

Parody is the highest form of flattery. I like how he had the paper notes of so he knew what to say. The fact that he spend time to take notes make a video and upload it speaks a lot. Thanks Brady. Looks like youve mastered the video editing techniques. Youre a quick learner.

Toddl, you make a strong argument against my suggestions and a great argument for your suggestions. Good reading.

Shane im aware adam is no longer there. He left right after the 33 started production. Mentioning Adam cord and Obrien was a means of thanks for making the Elite. Notice I only mentioned Andy and AM skis (i guess its obly mapple skis now) when i got to my request. Sans Rival and Razor offer RTM skis but they are not gloss finished Fisher Reflex dont have and they that scooped out nose which i thought was really innovative. I want glossy RTM and a scooped out nose amd i trust Andy to make it. I also know they ditched RTM skis. THEREFORE I MADE THE VIDEO asking them to give me what i want so i can give them the money i want to give them. I also brought it back on Andy telling him that he personally sold me on the RTM production prossess and i havent been resold on the compression molding process. If you pay attention to the video closely youll notice a lot of intelligent decisions like my quick pause to explain servicie because you dont know what it is and my decision to stop myself when i said the ski looked like ot was from the future which was a bad idea because i didnt mention that earlier and i didnt want to sound rambling and incoherent. I wish i would have focused more on the scooped nose and said something other than awesome or amazing...but there was no script and having 12 minutes of continuous footage and a pretty good cut was good enough for me. I think i did 20 takes or so for the other video and you can hear it in my voice. For those you enjoyed the video youre welcome i made it for you and the makers of the Elite. For those nitpicking it i believe i already addressed the issues above. Those who just dont like it i can respect that its just not your style.

@Brady comments on the video please.

그거 누가 썼어요? Translation: Who wrote that?

ToddL I loved your first paragraph because its true. If what you believe is correct then it will hold up to other points of view. I liked your subsequent paragraphs. Somewhere in the middle I got admittedly lost but I get the gist of it. The path to ball 1 needs to be the same as the path to ball 3 to count. I dont think ball 6 to exit are nearly as hard as entrance to 1. Lets not debate that. I agree that one ball would be better than two. My biggest issue is that I have to thread a gate and worry about both left and right. I've stated my financial reasons for doing so and my reasons may be unique to me. Again I suck compared to you guys, or/and its all in my head.
