if you have to ask, DON'T. I feel like these threads just make park skiers look like a bunch of prissy girls, who are more worried about the look than the riding. Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning anyone's love for snow sliding.
If you DO want to ask those stupid questions, put them in the 09/10 setup thread (that's what it is there for) If it were up to me, I'd give every person who made these threads a temp ban so they could go remove the sand from their vag.
