  1. |:^P stay a w a y from resortwaxes...belt waxing is 5HITwax, and many resort techs do not have time to drip proper wax formula.

    HF and LF are not always the fastest, (they say today is red, blue...yellow and own a dearth of understanding of proper temerature recommendation...the wax must suit the conditions, or you will have wasted time money and wax.

    Purchase a depth thermometer, and surface digithermometer and photo loop and get out there and look at snowcrystals...yes, because you have plenty of time as you heal to learn six week of snow hydrolog 101

    PS...while you are in healing, practice bending at your KNEEs and not your waist! This will train people who drop their hands to the snowsurface...

  2. if you visit any board shop in US, what do you see? XL pant, wide stance and wide soft board in abundance on display...you cannot fault the skier for ignorance. Let him do as he will please, and let him eat his cake. Resistance to target demographic/marketing-insanity is futile

    Go and ski for yourself: you can always do as you like...you are not a twoheaded hydra!

  3. listen very carefully: you do not need US team affiliation, as there is no US support for the Alpine discipline! You do not need any support from a US Alpine team to participate or develop your skillset or have fun or win. Other countries will progress with the blessing of national team, lack of Nationalteam support at developmental level is a simple obstacle for the US rider to address...

    Simply win a US qualifier (that is a rule- US must have teamqualifier) in olympic year. You will not be denied a start to represent the US in this case.

  4. I once had a hard day, the details are not important as they were at the time...I was reminded of the earlier attitude hrs later in a conversation in I'd overheard by a group of tourist. I did not respond and tried to understand the problem again, and I am sad still...yes because less than 30min later, there was a horrible accident and I believe I was one of the last people to see this group alive.

    This person you work with has already occupied enough of your time. The issue was not as bad and I am glad I felt no need to respond to group.

  5. you need to take on www.old offer...no need for pinching your penny, this is a hobby and anyone with topgear to sell is likely inclined to use their asking USD price.

    measure what you waste money on each day and cut it out of your scenario, you will find you have more than enough to purchase your toy...just pay on time, without silly offers and you will find many friends here to support your new sport.

  6. haha yes...of course my opinion

    well if knees are track parallel with the drop he is a poult...

    with our pelvic girdle and musculature, ideal angulation (use knee for hinge, and not waist) would create the illusion of the knee pocket, yea?

    there is some movement at the knees toward center, but that happens when I drop accordingly.

    Too many preoccupied with look of carving, or where to place body for effect...and I never understood why...to cover inadequacies?

  7. he is merely dropping his weight...it only looks as if rear knee is intentionally drawn into front pocket.

    by dropping weight he places hinge at knees, and less intention to hinge at waist (although he appears to drive rear knee and bend forward at waist).

    The majority of coaches, riders use (bend forward or toward snow-look) as model with little regard for consequence toward body mechanics. If you use the hinge to our physical design, there is no need to 'look' like a hardbootercarver...thus no need to bend at waist to position yourself lower or 'dynamic'

    the top racers place or plant the weight, to keeping form through turns...the rider in photo holds position, that is why he does not skid
