I saw that. I also love how he says it comes with a 12 month extended warranty worth $249. And then says you can delete the extended warranty for a $100 credit! LMAO

Did you see his new vest? If you missed it you got to take a look...

The vest should be banned in competion as well as clinchers. Keep athletism and technique in the sport. They can be used in practice much like golf training aids. Enough is enough.

[Horton]

Time will tell how good an idea it is. Very few skiers use clinchers.

[slow]

If it is a good idea and does improve your bouy count, should it be allowed in competion? Is that where we want the sport to go. Another piece of equipment to further complicate the sport.

I don't think something like this should be used in competition. Golf has lots of training aids but come time for a tournament you leave them at home. Could you imagine if this really gave you an extra 6 balls, it would be funny to see everyone at your local tournament wearing one... Dave would be laughing all the way to the bank.Question for some of you old time jumpers, how long have jump slings been around and was there any controversy when those first hit the scene?

 

[Horton]

slings ....early - mid 70s.

[bhs]

No controversy, wailing or gnashing of teeth?

[skidawg]

slings have a very useful purpose, it would be impossible to control the forces jumping with out one, but you can run short line slalom w/o an over priced clincher/strap gimick doing the work for you.  boo, hiss, not a fan.

Any thoughts for how to figure out what size/AMP 9900 is right?  I wonder if this ski would work well at 30 mph?

KG - My dad has an older Goode (9300 I think), and it skis great for him at 28 and 30 mph.  He went one size bigger and one flex softer than would be recomended for a 36 mph skier.

Up to you if you wanna break the bank, though :)
