The NNN/BC Truth Thread

[Teleman]

Now CIMA....enjoy your NNN as we enjoy our three pins....The kingdom Tele Boys excepting Telewheels mostly cruise the hills and forests of Northern Vermont on PINS We have given your equipment a try and found it lacking for what we do....We were up on the top of Little Mountain with about a thousand vertical feet of sweet steep hardwood skiing before us....resting in our Cathedral of Spruce we all eyed the exits....Now the Boys kinda like to be filmed so I asked if they wanted me to take pictures...saw Telekid inching toward an exit...so kept talking as I adjusted...Tkid still not saying but inching....so I burst out an exit and never saw anybody for almost half an hour....Everybody like six of us just took off and skied in white world....So much snow so few people....on pins having a blast in our individual worlds....Telepole skis dh areas cause of muscle damage but is an excellent BC skier....Enjoy your equipment and we won't be video taping anything cause we have nothing to video with....TM

Thanks for the comments, Teleman.
Yes, most of established 3-pinners may not have compelling reasons to convert the gear to different ones.
If there are any telemark skiers who've never tried the both gear, NNN/BC would be worth giving it a shot because the gear is easily and economically available. One of the problems may be that there are very few good instructors around us. The techniques of descending with NNN/BC are not special at all, but there is a knack. Once the skiers find it, NNN/BC is not so difficult.

No kidding.

Most of us would definitely like to see how well 3-pin folks perform on different snow conditions and how miserably NNN/BC folks suck actually. They're not interested in deskbound discussions very much.

In your previous two videos, we can't find any edges of 3-pin because the skiers were skiing on very good snow on mild slopes only. Those are the areas where all NNN/BC skiers can perform well, too.

You don't have to upload your own videos. Pick some good ones of others.

Well, I seldom take vids of skiing..just stills..My friend Kathy sometimes takes some nice vids..

And then look, superb lateral stability of 3-pins!
Again, the 3-pinners reign in the world!

3-pins are really good.

This is supposed to prove something ?
Those people cannot ski.. Equipment makes little if any difference in such cases..
They could be on NTN and it would not matter a bit. Seriously ?

[Raventele]

Cima, what's the harm in truth ?
Ski NNN if you love it..But it simply does not compare to some of the strengths of skiing pins --lateral stability, binding/boot leverage, availability of a wide range of boot choices, and durability..No contest.
It behoves a person to know well the strengths and weaknesses of his gear choices.
This ?

Or This ? (Patches on outside to prevent marring; There are patches inside also --to prevent liner wear/indentation.)

What about the Meta ? Maybe this is the REAL XCD ???

Yes, telehero is a really good skier.
He doesn't care which gear he's using.

However, you must be able to ski much better than he does.
You're the number one!
