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?

false. hucking is throwing yourself really hard and hoping you land, you can go hard without gucking, and you can huck without going hard, they are not the same

same thing. whenever I hear tre bomb its in reference to a really big tre flip, ie over many stairs or something

why was the thread about 9thward and how their company was a front for dealing deleted? tis a conspiracy?

yea bending them works just fine. I don't know about jesters, but if you can get just the metal of the brake off then clamp it, heat up the bend with a propane torch or something and unbend it. then mark where you want to bend, clamp it just below that then heat it and you can get an excellent bend.

tam wowlisch



does the term "center mounted" refer to the middle of the ski, in terms of length, or the center of the ski, in terms of balance?

if it is dependent on balance, then can anyone tell me if armada el rey's are symmetrical?

Center mounted refers to in the middle of the ski lengthwise. They don't label the "center of balance," and unless you have a fully symmetrical ski, its location is anyone's guess.

The recommended point on a ski is core center, where the flex is even on both sides.

Armada El Rey's are not symmetrical, their dimensions are 121-85-111

When you guys get home from skiing with a big bag of clips (lets say 25% jumps / 75% rails). How do you guys sort clips and find out, which order to put all the clips in your edit?

Yes you can. You have to put out a screw and the regular straps though but then you can just slip in your booster straps and you are good to go man!
