That's a great idea, because I like to stalk pros. Could we have a pro-ho groupie forum, where we could stalk all the pros on the board? That'd be awesome!

I'll stick to stalking the girl who sits in front of me in math, stalking pros is way outta my league.

I think its pretty easy to figure out who knows their shit and who is just BS'ing their response in a thread - especially about technical stuff

How about a 'disgruntled ex shop employees' forum where ex shop techs can trade horror stories about the shitty shops they've worked in?

I work in a shop, and am currently disgruntled and have many horror stories. The thinking of the average recreational skier is SCARY...

^start sucking dick.

Alternately, you can just form a platonic relationship with the guys in the back of the shop, ask them questions, etc. Then be like 'listen, I'm looking for a job, do you guys need someone to come in and help out' and before you know it, you'll be the industry's bitch. Hurray!

Yeah, I work in a shop, and yeah, I am a little disgruntled about it. I wish it were a better shop, But I still enjoy it, and it has it's many benifits. Really it comes down to who you work with, not what you work with.

Ok heres a question for all you shoppies.
I just took my skis into our local shop to get the bindings put on. Now not only did the asshole who put them on not know what the fuck he was doing he put one binding up more foward on my ski so now when i wear my skis one foot is up further than the other. ALSO he was so stupid he drilled a freakin whole through my ski!!
What should I do!? Can i sue!?

Demand brand new skis! Talk to the boss! A tech that does that shit should be fired!

Talk to the service manager, that shit is unacceptable, although mistakes happen, the employee and the shop should take full responsibility.

I have never personaly drilled through a ski, but i have mis mounted my fare share (jigs can jump around a little on skis with lots of metel, like the old dynastar speed 63 with a full metal plate, the non pretapped ones were a bitch!) BUT I WOULD ALWAYS JUST REPLACE THEM, never would i give a custy a fucked up ski.

Demand a refund, or new skis.
