Wooh, you got some balls, man. I would never do anything huge whatsoever with that binding... They were pretty muched screwed when they left the factory. Instead of trying to repair it, try to remove...

I´ve tried some Majesty Superiors. Even if it´s not the Local Hero, you might atleast get some comments about the brand. I wrote a ski test earlier this where the Superiors were included. It´s in...

Do a full tuning to get the bases flat and apply a good structure. Structure is what makes the biggest difference on bases, not wax, as long as the bases aren´t fully dried out maybe. It doesnt...

Well, if you read again, I say that if you are a total beginner on skis, you should start with ((77,5kg)/10)-2, giving you a DIN of 5,75. That is not that far from 5 and I would say that you have to...

Ah, its not that wrong. It works basically every time for someone that is even close to being normally built. I´ve never seen any charts being used around here, by any skiers or by any shops since I...

Well, simple questions, but still things that is good to know if you are a beginner, so here you go:

1.
To low DIN=prerelease problems, especially at high speed and in rough conditions.
To...

The best I´ve tried to remove bad smell from other shoes/sport shoes/cross country boots is to pour down half a liter of pure etanol in each shoe and shake it around for a bit of time. Then just...

A lot of skiers thinks that full rocker kills rebound completely, but I dont agree. I think that myth is created from the fact that most skis that had full rocker in the first rocker years are skis...

I have the same question as you Veriber61. Even if the 190 is quite easy to ski, they would have gain more popularity if the CD2 was made a bit shorter than 190. Since they have the CD3 as the...

Nice review, even with the german part in the middle :) Since I speak a bit of german, it was no problem for me, but you might consider to translate that part also, if you want the americans to...

Hehe, did I get this right? You are going to choose your boots based on what sole lengths the mounting on a recently bought Solly XScreams can take? Haha, true comedy.

REVIEW, cont (cause of forum rule of maximum 10000 letters)



The ski reacts to input just as want in deeper snow. It feels quick and alert when I want it to be, and stay parallell and wait for...

REVIEW OF CD2 from DOWN SKIS (translation of previosly linked swedish review)

I have skied the CD2 from Down a couple of weeks last spring and a couple of days of this season now as the winter is...

First I have to ask a language related question: Lateral stability means stability sideways, right? If not, I fucked up there. English is not my first language...

The forward flex is totally...

I just thought I finished a two year long search for new boots the other day when I arrived home with a all new pair of Ross WC 130, that is the orange version of the Lange RS 130, but after testing...

I always use normal printer paper for the toe height.

I second that. The 09:s I had were soft and had almost no camber. The blue ones later had a lot more camber and were slightly stiffer, even if it isnt a huge difference. Still a pretty soft ski. I...

I have a pair of 178 with Griffons on them. That makes a really light package by my standards.
Well... Actually I've never had such small skis before, but still, no matter the size they are my...

I´m not so sure that you are right in what you say. I feel like saying that you are wrong, but I don´t since I am not fully sure that I am right either. I leave it open for discussion and I think...

Fakie ScottyBobs?

I normally like skis in the 185-190 range, but with the Keeper I prefer the 178 over the 189. The 178 sounds way to small and I didnt even consider it at first, but when I tried it, I found it to be...

The only method that works on bigger damages is to cut/punch out a piece of base and replace it with new. Ptex candles and such things only work on damages that doesnt matter anyway. On bigger...

You should not add ptex. If there is no hole, there is no space for it. The only thing that will happen if you still do it is that you will add a out-sticking piece of ptex on the base. If you grind...

I don´t see the point of adding any kind of material, except pure to waterproof the damage. Any kind of adding will cause a higher base level on and around the damage. To make it flat, you have to...

Ofcourse it´s repairable. It´s a ski and the core isn´t broken in half. So, repairable.

To me it looks like the ski is out-grinded, or whatever it´s called in english. I mean that the ski have...

I tried the Countdown 2 late last winter. Really nice skis. I wrote a rather long review about it in swedish a while ago (http://www.freeride.se/forum/thread.php?t=81400). I can translate it to a...

Easy to fix if you find the piece. You can take it off basically any Salomon binding with that construction, old or new.

Many also just ignore it, and ski it like it is. The binding still work.

Anyone got a rocker photo on the Opuses? There are like 10 video reviews on Youtube, but NOONE is showing the rocker. Unbelievable.

Thanks for the advices. The reason I want to make an online order is that first, my girlfriends parents don´t speak one single fragment of english. Absolute zero knowledge of that language. So to let...

Hello, North Americans...

My girlfriends parents are going to Canada in a couple of weeks, so I have an opportunity to buy ski equipment from overseas soon. At the moment the canadian and us...

Bogner skis of Switzerland was really early with tip rocker. If I remember it right they had it in their line allready 03/04. 04/05 they for sure had it. However it was on narrow pist skis up to...

I just call them 5-pointers. As the category are now widening with longer radius skis I might add Short radius to the name. Or bubblegum 5p-s.

Ok, thank you for your opinions. Seems that the impression of the bindning is a bit varied, just as I expected. Maybe I should dare to try them then... Even if they look a bit to much low-elastic to...

I am a 75kg (~150 pounds) normal level advanced freeride skier. I can push it on the hardpack or in the terrain in good conditions, but generally I keep within moderate speed and power, atleast with...

I have about 15 days on the I-rock. 5 spring days in slush/refrozen, 3 artificial snow all groomer days and 7 big mountain days with variable snow from wind blown to tracked out to perfect, but a...

Hehe, "fast, good answers" on a SL race stock question on TGR TT? Joke of the day. Good luck on that one.

Follow Wildskizer´s advice...

Normally this would be one of the most stupid questions ever. Nowadays the question however have some kind of justified existance, since Marker changed a lot of their bindings and some of them are...
