in this thread you can ask questions you have about skiing that aren't big enough to make a thread about. ill start with: how long does it take for a windells edit to come out once the session ends?

or will next years saga be insulated, or just a shell?

define different bindings, and remount, because i had a friend who had a pair of old turn tables broke them and kept replacing broken pieces(heel piece toe piece not small piece) with a different one and use the same holes for it, so it could possibly be infinite, well not really, but so large that youll break the skis somewhere else first

That's true, I see what you're saying, but yeah I'm curious about using different bindings in different holes.

1. Get a ripping program, that makes your afterdark DVD into a file on your computer, that you can watch in quicktime or vlc, i reccoment VLC mediaplayer.

2. Download VIDEORA.
I myself use this, and it converts any video file that will fit into your itunes library. WHen the conversion is finished (just follow the videora stepts, really easy) you just drag your file into the column that says:
--------------------
MUSIC i
FILMS i
TV-SHOWS i
PODCASTS i
PROGRAMS i <------- Drag the file into anywhere here. When you plug your iphone / ipod to it, you i should be ble to synchronize your videos in your FILMS/VIDEOS folder,
RADIO i
-------------------



Phew, finished. ENJOY! :)

i'm skiing 50 percent park (mostly rails, although a couple 15-35 foot jumps), and 50 percent groomers/all mountain skiing

by all mountain skiing i DO NOT MEAN POWDER (i'm on the east coast)

so, that being said

should i go with this years armada el reys, or this years line masterminds?

+k for some answers guys

What lense should i get if i want to "murder out" my crowbars? Dark Grey (polarized) ?
Will it be the right one if the stock-photo looks like this?
Click for larger image
How much is a legit lense? Around 20$ ?
Sorry for noobish question!

dark grey

i just paid the full 45 bucks for them straight from the oakley site, seemed reasonable to me considering the lens is the most important part of the gogs..

trust me, it's darker than it looks in the picture, you can't see through dark grey lenses from the outside

in edits I always see this type of thing at it confuses me..

basically you see a follow cam view of some rail trick, then they replay the trick from a different angle from farther way, and in the latter of the two views the guy holding the follow cam that must have taken the first shot is nowhere to be found....

example at 1:37 where he does the nose tap thing.



at first i thought maybe they just filmed the same trick twice... but the arm motion is exactly the same in both, yet in the first shot the follow cam guy isn't there!!! HOWWW?!?!?!

Im guessing these are two different shots. He did the same trick twice. One time filmed from above/side view and the other time with follow cam. Cut together perfectly though.

csnt tell if this is troll but it was shot twice. if you do a trick over and over again its quite likely you will do nearly the exacts same motion, muscle memory and comfort in the way you know how to do the trick

Thanks Peter, I see what you're saying there, but a sausage is one hand, both tails.  I'm wondering what grabbing blunt with both hands, one at each tail is called?  anyone?

not trolling, tricks just look exactly the same and you don't get the opportunity to do something as unique as a nose bonk like that

plus shooting twice seems so inefficient, but still thanks for the answers guys

I ejected out of my skis this weekend and found that the toe piece had rotated and was stuck vertically. Is that a problem or does this happen to everyone?

What is the rule about taking the safety off of lighters? Someone said that if cops see that there is no safety you can get in trouble or some shit. Anyone know?

There's a chance it could work out, but I'm not all that familiar with Griffins myself, so take that with a grain of salt.

has anyone done a perfect sideways lincoln out of a pipe? like when the go up the pipe wall, they pop when their skis are at 90 degrees and they spin around their core, but the way a bolt does on a vertical screw, where they would lincoln, but their skis would always remain facing straight up?

Me and my friends want to make a lot of edits this year. We have never hit jumps over 50 feet and my brother and his friend decided this. Let's build a 60 foot backcountry jump and throw double flats on it. YAAAAAAAY! i told them they were dumb as we have never hit a backcountry jump over 30 feet and neither of them have ever landed flatspins. They shunned me and were angry. I said we should build a few smaller jumps first so we can learn single rotations before the stupidest one of us goes for a dub if we build a big jump. This made them angrier. Do you think they are being stupid too?

Yep they're being dumb. Learn the basics before hucking. I hate to sound like a mom but one of you will probably get hurt if you try to skip straight to doubles.
