Wow. An out of towner! This is like a golden unicorn.

Ridden by a GSA!
Begs the question doesn't it?
Does the GSA ride the long rail?

Gary is from Shames..... It's one of the unicorn's last known surviving habitats.

There's some 208 rossignols at value village in Kirkland. You could duct tape 2 cm pretty easy

Finally in town this year for the show. Assuming these are gone, anyone else have a line on boards?

[The AD]

Does the GSA ride the long rail?

You kidding? 210 cm is nothing to the GSA. He goes 300 or longer with GoPros mounted to each tip.

[auvgeek]

I might be down too, depending on how my knee feels and my ability to find some of these longboards.

Just picked up a pair of 210 Hexcel Sundance ll's. Pretty hammered but with a little tuning totally skiable. They will need clamps as the Geze's on board are rusty and totally dead. $15 (what I paid)+ a sixer of good IPA.

[Ski to Be]

Can you imagine the GSA if he skied in the 80's . He would have some 225" DH boards & a Bogner one piece to boot and one of those brick cell phones

Hmmm, I was thinking yellow and black TNF SteepTech.

[oftpiste]

^^^^OOOOHHHH! Matching outfits for you and H? That'll be hard to top!

[ACH]

I wish...
Have you seen what a SteepTech outfit goes for used?
I have yet to spot such an animal in any of my visits to the thrift casbah's.

[ACH]

If you see the black and yellow "Scott Schmidt" TNF "SteepTech suit (2 piece actually), grab it.
This isn't something that shows up at "thrift" very often, it ever.
I've seen them on Craigslist and eGhay priced way over actual value.

Oft, for the record, what H found isn't Steeptech.

[Ski to Be]

Your right. GSA is aTNF guy

[Ski to Be]

I saw that too, I was too far away to ask if they were training for Alaska. I used to have those skis in 88-89 I think.

[SeatownSlackey]

that individual is the last person who needs to get warmed up on the big stix. Man could have 2x4s duct taped to his feet and still make it look effortless

[oftpiste]

^Scott?


1234

[oftpiste]

was thinking of a different scott, but that works too!

[vdRONdripper]

I ski big boards all the time what is the big deal? Try it with light boots and tele bindigns with some long xcski poles if you are a real mountain man.

Well put up or shut up then.

April 29th at Alpental you can show all us oldskooligans how it's done. 210cm+ is the only requirement.

[vdRONdripper]

diu polus facere me polus plantarum bis.

[alpyalpy]

What is deemed to be a legal addition for length modifications? I've searched every value village thrift store play it again sports from Everett to Seattle without finding any 210s. Do all "improvements" to ski have to be permanent. Or can I just add some participant award trophy's to the tails and call it good?

[kevino]

^^contact oftpiste from the previous page..i was going to use the ones he picked up but i work that weekend so i will not be able to use it.

[alpyalpy]

will do thanks for the heads up

[oftpiste]

FWIW, those of us who collect 210+'s look for them year 'round. Skis that length have gotten harder and harder to come by. My finds are the result of regular repeat visits to a number of thrift establishments, but I only come by a couple of pairs a year and it's pure blind luck to be in the right place at the right time.

[Moss-Back]

I'm BACK.

Missed a few years...parenthood...blown ACL...ennui...

Think it's high time to dust off the trusty 210 Elan RCs, trial-click the N-77s, and...

GET.

IT.

ON.

Pretty sure the bandana is still in the boot-bag.
Where it belongs.
