I have been riding Alpine for about 15 years on and off ,an I am NO proffessional. The majority of the users on Bomber, I feel are proffessionals however, and are willing and knowledgable to share tips, and advice regarding any aspect of this sport. They eat, breathe, and sleep Alpine. That being said, it was soley the reason ,I joined this community. Where else on the web, can you find this many dedicated alpine riders, and in such great numbers? I know if I have a question, or a problem with my equipment, or technique I'll be asking these guys , an not some fis guy on a podium.
