  1. You can turn them into two skwals
  2. My Nitro (Probably Mid 90's) My Thias (96' Probably)
  3. This has a Chuck Norris sort of narrative to it...
  4. Lol, look at the epic "power-wedge" on that skier.
  5. Yeah, I can't wait to try and squeeze a day this season or ride it the next. I won't even mind falling a bunch of times! And yes, the Rossi Bindings on the Nitro are a little sloppy until you close the latch but they work!
  6. This is a bit of a cop-out but these are new (90's) to me. My Hardboot Quiver

    Quiver

  8. The wiki page is a reference guide organized in such a way that users can quickly navigate to very general or organized information for technique, equipment and starting out. BOL seems more like a page referring to how the community learns individually or as a whole.
  9. Hardboots and softboots work about the same for me in all terrain. I see a little more control in crud in hardboots for me actually.
  10. Choosing between carving and ski boots is mostly a matter a preference in the end. If the forward and lateral flex is sufficient, some ski boots can fit the profile perfectly. Since most commercial ski boots are extremely stiff with almost no lean adjustment, its better to go with hardboots since most models have exactly the same average flex characteristics in the right places, give or take some stiffness in the lean and cant. Some racers and carvers do utilize full-on commercial ski boots but many use a highly advanced 'natural' technique or cut certain places in the boot to control flex or stiffness. I believe that some manufacturers did or still do create boots which can be used on a carving board and skis on the same day with some inserts and adjustments.
