Baller Stevie Boy Posted September 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok, on my Nano One, I experience a lovely whistling sound on my offside, I think Rossi in the Edged In Water video commented "Mae Bueno" when you get this, because it suggests your fin setup is sweet, but there is no whistling or " Mae Bueno" on my Onside, Ideas ?

SkiJay Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This could mean too much forcing of the turn by pushing with the rear foot on your onside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted September 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 3, 2012 I don't think I've heard a ski whistle since the 9100. Than again, maybe I just got so used to it that I don't notice anymore!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waternut Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 It's funny because every ski I've ever taken the wing off of will whistle for the first few minutes and then I never hear it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_Haines Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think thager has it figured out! Good one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted September 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 3, 2012 When my ski doesn't whistle....I whistle for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popof Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think the comment is "MUY bueno" actually ;) Nevertheless I can't help you with your whistling sound for my ski hardly ever whistles....sigh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted September 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 3, 2012 My 70's Saucier Slalom whistled something crazy but didn't ski worth a darn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wish Posted September 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2012 can you name the tune? Two differant Goode skies of mine whistled and so did the HO CoXsl. All when the fin was were I liked it and left it. Had heard is was just a Goode thing but guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klindy Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I had an old Western Wood TTS Slalom ski that whistled so loud you could hear it on shore. That think had more ribs, grooves and tunnels under it than an F1 race car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted September 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2012 My Goode 9800 SL will whistle when I am skiing well, sometimes. But, that doesn't happen often. Always wondered if skiers who are on it more consistently hear this sometimes too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogboy Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have noticed that my stepped bottom triumph whistles. Not sure if the cause is the bottom, or the fin, but I haven't noticed it on other skiis. Almost 40 years ago I remember my brother in law say he could hear his Connelly hook whistle. It had tiny grooves on each side of the tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiJay Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The slot-fin whistles two different notes in harmony with itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
