Re: How do you buy Telemark boots???

I was checking out the webcams and such before our Christmas trip and I saw this on the resort web site: for_the_future.jpg So here is my theory about the boot shortage: Telemark is currently experiencing a new surge in popularity. It is the time of the great free heel enlightenment! (now that I pos...

Re: New Resort Setup

I have an ebay search saved for 'riva bindings'. Today it turned up a pair mounted to the same vintage heli stinx as mine. I don't think camera angle can account for the apparent binding location. Now I am getting worried that I managed to mount my waybacks in a 'wayback' position too. I did my best...

Re: NTN, some relief, Outlaw, WHY, personal blogpost/whining

Jeez, it seems like I keep killing threads. I am not as funny as I think I am. Woodserson , Are you going to get an NTN setup? After obsessively studying NTN bindings, online only, the last few years I think the Outlaw X would be my first choice. If, you know, I suddenly find a bunch of money to spe...

Re: New Resort Setup

Those Helis are mounted way too far back, unless you have very small feet, like a 23 mondo. Move 'em forward about 1.5-2cm and I think you'll have a winner with more or less equal tip/tail pressures. I just got some new K2 Mindbender 90Ti's for the hill, and am looking forward to some more turns so...

Re: New Resort Setup

[...] @FourthCoast put a tape to them, straight line from tip to tail, do not bend to the ski, is the pin line about Chord Center? This blue masking tape is not so great for anything other than masking for paint. It is hard to see my marks in the photo. The chord center line on the Stinx is like ri...

Re: New Resort Setup

Nice colour coordination! Thanks, Lo-Fi . This colour combination was achieved using the 'what I could find cheap' method. edit: colour Woodserson , Stephen , I am not all that worried about something being a little forward or a little back.

Re: New Resort Setup

Alright. After a significant error, followed by technical, and moral, support from Stephen I have my waybacks mounted. We even have like 2" of snow on the ground now. Treadmill, treadmill, treadmill until we get more snow. It sure seems like my old Heli Stinx are mounted too far back, or the new ski...
