Re: "The Bleeding Edge" of boot progress...

It s the first progress in tele boots for +20 years (except for the switch to duckbutt instead of duckbill 10 years ago). Now when Scarpa also seems to be moving forward its good with Pierre & Pierre raising the bar. I do agree that tele needs to go back to its root, one ski, one binding and one boo...

Re: 3-pin Racing

Thanks for the comments, I ski on Scarpa T4s. It will be fun to test the transalps later...unfortunatly I didn't notice that there was a left and right skis with regards to the graphics. I will eventually swap the toe-boxes of the Dogz later sometime. The main problem with touring without free pivot...

Re: Bishop new NTN bindings: The BMF-3 and the BMF-R!

Good to see new development of bindings, the concept however look alot like the Spike Telebulldogs. Have they announced any weight for these bindings?

Edit: Just found that they were aiming at about 4oz/pair.

Re: 3-pin Racing

Both skis now mounted, the Transalps landed at 1560 gram each - almost 600 gram more than the Atomics, but it is a much larger and sturdier ski and the LiteDogz is a much sturdier binding than the Rottefellas. Did try the Atomics tonight at a nearby pisted hill. Did 10 laps and approximatly 1500 fee...

Re: 3-pin on rando racing ski? Any experience?

Mounted the Atomics yesterday with heavily modified Voile riser to get a more widely distributed 4 screw pattern as well as to get some more binding clearance when edging in steep icy condtions. The skis weighted in at 700g/each, the 3-pin Rottefellas binding 168g, the heavily modified Volie riser e...

Re: 3-pin on rando racing ski? Any experience?

Did also modify the tips of both my Qanik and the rebounds to take race skin last spring. Makes a huge difference in transitions.

Re: 3-pin on rando racing ski? Any experience?

Yeah, I do agree. With todays rando/skim equipment a tele skier don't stand a chance. Equipment is one issue, but the main problem is that tele skiers rest their legs going uphill and rando people rest their legs going downhill...however, skiing is for fun and in that sense tele always wins. Nonethe...
