The Quiver Pic Rerun Thread

[skikola]

I thought about mounting them onto the Mantra's but I had a bitch of a time finding wide brakes for them and they are Rossi Axial 110 Pros circa 2000. Din rating 10. They're a bit too measly and I figured I should upgrade to something better for the Mantra's.

You figured correctly.

[ACHTUNG]

You figured correctly.

yeah that's what I thought.

[The Dad]

I'm going to break with skikola here. If you're under an 8 DIN, I wouldn't stress about running a nice pair of Look turntables, even with the light springs. (And are you sure they top out at 10? I thought the 110s went to 11 <tm Nigel Tufnel>.)

Al's has 100mm brakes for $45.

they do top out at 11, my mistake. I set myself at din 9 but it is the light springs in the heel that bother me. I don't feel like the turntables get as much energy as a fixed heel in the turn.

But that is the brake I've been looking for.

[The Dad]

If you don't like the turntables, then by all means -- find a different pair of bindings.

Yup...still searching.

Am I mistaken, or are your prototype Line's there mounted backwards...

No, the top sheets were stamped on the ski backwards. I think Pollard and the boys were smokin a big fatty when they sent that ski to the press. I measured the skis over and over just to make sure before I had them mounted.

180-150-175 Burly skis. Funnest ski ever. If you ski in the PNW, with the "wet" powder we get, they are a God send.

[jerr]

time to show off with my quiver:
plywood gunnar, 183, 154-133-143
plywood evil twin, 177, 150-115-138
plywood cockayne, 182, 152-132-142



all 3 with rocker and taper, snowboard construction and such stuff. evil twins and gunnar mounted duck. i know, basically fat snowblades

Dude, I love you're approach to skiing. Not only do you decide to make your own skis but you think about it and then build it to test it. I think you rock. I'm well keen to hear how they ski and to see how you progress.

Keep it up

[strode420]

Finally winter has come to Colorado and I got my dream quiver together as well so I couldn't be happier.

190 Lotus 120 Flex 3 with Dukes
188 Rossignol Scratch BC with Rossignol Axial Free 120
185 Line EP Pro Model with Salomon s900
183 Volkl Gotama with Naxo NX21
181 Rossignol Scratch FS with Axial 2 120

dude. sweet.

[leroy jenkins]

Here's my EC line up:





I need to find and mount some bindings for the Mantra's this week. P40's are super old and I don't ski them any more.

Ok, your quiver is nothing spectacular, and the fact that you live on the ice coast doesn't say much....

BUT, that poster alone makes youa bad ass. I'd kill someone for one of those.

Now that I think of you, where in the East do you live?

[ACHTUNG]

...not to mention the black and red anarchy flags hanging in the background.

I'd say New Hampshire.

Dude, those are my wrench rollups. SAE on the left and Metric on the right.





NH is correct.






RIP Doug

Don't be hatin' the Beta 5s bro!


If you come near that poster, you'll be staring at Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson! I tell you.

I'm not sure how I feel about that...they are sweet skis, though.

[Bandit Man]

My quiver is kind of like a half-way house these days. Some skis say for a while and others just briefly. I've mixed it up over the summer and here is what the tenant line-up looks like today...



188 Salomon Gun w/S912 Ti
195 Salomon AK Rocket Swallowtail/LAB w/S914
186 Dynastar Legend Pro (race room) w/Rossi P140's
194 Dynastar Legend Pro XXL waiting for S916 Ninja's
184 Volkl Mantra w/S914
190 Volkl Gotama w/Rossi 120 Pro Ti
190 Volkl Sumo w/Marker 1800 (yeah...I know)
185 Nordica Supercharger Blower w/S916 Ninja's
185 Praxis w/S914's
189 K2 Pontoon w/S914
179 K2 PE w/Look P12 (for groomers and skiing with kids)
124 K2 Luv Bug (my 8-year old's sticks)

Once I get a few days on the Praxis, I'll see whether those or the Pontoons get to stay...

Man, that's gotta be my dream quiver.

[2nd mate]

so do you like have any skis for when it snows a bunch???(insert sarcasm)

I really need to set loftier goals as far as my quiver goes. You need a BAD MUTHA FUCKER sticker for however you transport you boards. The only BMF thing i kinda have is our ski house Coombs K2 "upon this rock" poster signed by THE MAN in Boston like 15 years ago.
