FUUUUUUUUCK!

[lemon boy]

I just totally fucked up the mount on my 200 120s

The front half of the binding went on perfectly but now I can't get the back half to stay down for anything....







oohhhhh so pretty



note, they're not as purple in real life.

I like your sickle and hammer.

and your skis, those are soooo sick. I do have a tele jong question though. when people talk about an active or neutral tele binding, what do they mean, and what do you want for steering a beast like that?

purple is gay

In soviet Russia, lotus skis you!

[Poop~Ghost]

I seem to recall the old joke goes... "in soviet russia, the women are ugly... and they fuck you."


nice sticks lb.

[Danno]

FUUUUUUCK! I need a pair of skis like that.

Glad you guys like my garage decor and skis

active/neutral describes basically how far back on the sole of the boot the binding engages the boot bellows, a neutral binding requires that you do all of the bellows bending yourself whereas an active one helps you out with that task. An active binding feels like it is really holding onto the ball of your foot.

Skiing them active/neutral is purely a personal preference, IMVHO for driving big skis lateral rigidity is much more important. Linkens are laterally rigid neutral flexing bindings that suit my style very well. Plus, I fucking hate bending over to put tele bindings on.

Shit, not even a slight tip of the hat for the green?

^^Those O1s look pimp.

Damn hippies...

^^Those O1s look pimp.

Funny.

A tip for getting that heelpiece to stay down: 2 well placed sheetrock screws.

I didn't realize I'd never seen Linkens, those are sweet looking. The ski is ok too.

[Hugh Conway]

I bet you are a vegetarian.

[HitMe]

Lemon boy: Are the screws just spinning or? If so, I would helicoil it. Given the fact that the back pat of the binding does not carry that much force, maybe one of those simpler plastic screw repair things would work too.

[HitMe]

In that case it must be an inherent design flaw of the binding...

[beaterdit]

Duuuuuuuuuddddddde!

That IS fucked up. I think the skis are ruined. Prolly gonna have to give up on 'em, you can't possibly drive a ski like that if the back of your binding won't stay down.

Dude, I love the green ones. My first pair... *sniff*

[Rontele]

glad all the waiting paid off.

what mondo size boot do you wear?

[lemon boy]

26.5 but they're linkens so you can't adjust the size at all.

damn you and your grl sized feet. i have to say that between my 105s and my grl sized 120s, dps has really killed it.

[Fritz]

Sucks for sure. I don't have the balls to even look at them wrong, let alone stick a drill in em. Any luck yet?

[lemon boy]

No skiing yet, I'm taking my time with them, they now are both mounted but I only have one skin cut and haven't bothered putting wax on them. I am pretty excited that I finally figured out (kind of) how to not be a total skin cutting gumby. I probably also spent two hours grinding all of the screws.

I'd be curious to hear what you have to say about the tail attach system on the dps.

My Alpinist skins, while the kick ass, have a terrible tail attach. I am thinking of ways to carve grooves into the tails without really hurting the ski.
