    New Touring System better than the Duke!

    is anyone as stoked about this new touring system coming out of Russia as I am? Only 34 lbs. Has such an efficient touring mode on it that you can get moving up to 25 mph, and you can use it with any binding you want! Sign me up Mr. Sergei Khvalin. Marker should really think about hiring you.

    He's got it mounted wrong--turn it 90 degrees and he's got his own personal helicopter--could make heli skiing affordable for the masses.

    Am I the only one that was hoping to see him cross his tips?
    Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.

    That just looks way scarier sliding off the platform on the balloon than jumping out of a plane. Same thing I guess, but it just looked way scarier.

    What scares me is the russian dude working on advanced propulsion for skiers, rocking 20+ year old rear entry alpinas, fartbag and motorcycle helmet, and it's not even "retro" day!

    OTOH, even in my steeziest costume I couldn't have built that thing.

    No "touring system" is better than The Duke.
