Telemark Talk / Telemark Tips Forum

Boy, we had a lot of fun yesterday! For some reason, Bri7 decided to bring his 30yo Dynastar 220cm Course skis over here. Even more strange, he decided we would mount them as tandems and go kill ourselves. We've seen Teletandem before... But with leathers, that's another story!

We managed to make a few nice turns... But then, (Thank God!) one of the 3p binding "released" from the ski... Just when we were getting good...

With some practice, we should be able to make it to the mogul fields very soon...

Does anyone remember the 2 Amish guys who were tandem skiing at MRG back in 85 or 86?

Johnny, are they asolo boots you are wearing, and if so do they qualify?

BTW goggles are strictly for telemark or dh and look silly for xcd, IMO.

Ha! looks like a wild ride.
the 2-man wipe-out would indeed pull bindings . crash in sync for success.haha

Seriously, why would anyone do that?

No, that was not XCD-compliant, as Bri7 had a pair of SuperComps boots...!

Indeed. We were not XCDing, we were just making fools of ourselves...

We were in a hurry, we wanted to go ski... We only used two screws on each bindings, hence the fast release... When you're a clown, you're a clown!

Wow that was so fun!

Too bad the binding broke on the twister-twister-spread!!!

For some reason little Jesus was there to make sure no one was seriously injured during the aerial manuver. It really sucks our prototype was destroy during the jump (and that we didn't stomp the landing).

Seriously guy, what should we do? fix the Tandem Tele or move on to our next project?

By the way Johnny, the box of my Merrell SuperComp have the mention XCD on it. If it's written on the box it has to be true!!!

I knew the truth would come out, it's not what you are skiing but where you are skiing. If you can leave the skins shovel and beacan home it's xcd otherwise it's something else.

Bri7, your Super Comps are from 1989. In case you were not aware, the very definition of XCD changed in 1994, right before Merrell stopped production of the Super Comp. That same year also saw the birth of the World XCD Council. Mere coincidence? Think again.

Nothing to do with where you ski, XCD is a ski technique.
