The NNN/BC Truth Thread
Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread
I think we need a new thread i.e "How to XCD on Pin Bindings"..
But it seems to me that it would be redundant in your part of the world..

Yeah, highly likely.

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread
Yes, I found that working on my thread was totally waste of time.
Because 3-pin is the absolute king of the world, anything else must be totally junk.
I'm thinking to close my thread anytime soon.

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread
No no! You must first let everyone know the details of progression..and the aspects of technique..
What are you thinking ? Wake up Cima! Many are interested..and you may have converts!

Thanks, Ron.
Anyway I'll take a break for a while.

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread
Even I would gladly learn the whole NNN/BC thing, but really it's a question of what to spend $$$ on!
But, it seems many(especially over there) Tele with just about the same technique irrespective of gear, so I'll settle for learning your method. I do think that skiing (about any) lighter gear makes skiing heavier stuff much easier.

I used to wear Birkenstocks all the time. I found that they were severely limiting my ability to do anything outdoors except play guitar, smoke pot and drink beer.LoveJohnny wrote:Birkenstocks.To ski on slippers, all conditions equally well and at speed , that's the dream!
On barefoot, ultimately!
I threw them away and bought a new pair of backpacking boots and never looked back.

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread
Did the exact same experimentation several years ago. And I came to the very same conclusion. Threw them away and bought a pair of five fingers...
But I still think Birks would make the ultimate telemark binding for true hardcore skiers...
