Re: Military Skis

Should have kept the photo of the Canadian Karhu in action. Looked like Turkish slippers. Ha ha. Norwegian rocker galore. Everything past the compressed grip zone was standing proud of the packed snow. Typical clapped out foam core ski… like an old glue pony. Will post if found. It’s good for a lau...

Re: Viability of Waxable Skis

People are still stuck on the left/right paradigm after the last 10 years? LOL. They install your leaders. There's only one party and it's the state
Rubbish, if you don't see the difference in the two parties you are a blind man.

Re: RFK speech, not what I expected. It’s worth 40 minutes

The rest of the world sees the U.S. as crazy and unstable since the Trump presidency. He's openly said he would let countries like Russia do whatever the hell they want, and he wouldn't aid our allies if they didn't pay what he says they should.
