lawn dart over a road gap at Mt Baker, first day of the memorably shitty '02/'03 season. Had mass speed upon landing so I sat back to dump some speed in the elephant poo crud and my ski hit a poof of pig poo, then *Doink* ...felt the sensation of yanking a drumstick off of a Thanksgiving turkey, inside my knee.

Would not crank the bindings more either, since one of the falls also broke the ski after hitting a buried rock, and the other a anchored branch.

but how the hell do guys like holmes, mcconkey, collins, plake, etc ride those puppies? ive found the cranking the din still doesn't help that much w/ the toe releasing the way they do.

I started rocking powder cords after losing a G41 with about 7-8 ski days on it. It never showed up in the spring, either. I still remember the wipeout very well, and to this day I have no idea what happened to the ski.
The cheapest and easiest thing to do is buy a roll of 1" orange flagging tape at the hardware store. The ones you buy in the ski shop are uselessly short...lots of them don't even extend beyond the tail of the ski! You want at least six feet. Just tie it to one of the brake arms and tuck it in your cuff. And if it starts coming out, please, please tuck it back. Don't let it just dangle behind you.

Second, I didn't know better then.
Third, you are right.
Since I've experienced Marker's preejaculatory release too often, I now us Look and Salomon bindings.Last edited by Jim S; 03-07-2006 at 02:34 PM.
