Baller bishop8950 Posted October 16, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 16, 2012 You probably drove up to Tahoe, broke into Lapoints house and forcefully borrowed it.

Baller Dirt Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 Badal has five of them. He just does not want you (Horton) to have one. I lost my borrowed ski yesterday to a crazed ponytailed college professor who said something about prying it from his cold dead fingers. He must hang out with Horton. I will miss the A3. It is easy to ride, very stable, gets monster angle with a very seamless transition from turn to pull. The ski holds the angle outbound better than anything I have ever ridden. This creates space at the buoy. I found myself looking across (after looking at the boat guides in front of the boat) to where I normally would find the buoy and it was not there. The buoy was way further down course. I also wanted to mention how symmetrical the turns were. We started with the off-side turn too much and the on-side ok. We adjusted the fin and moved bindings and this reversed. It still skied fine but was not perfect. The final settings we found made both sides get great angle and hold it. It is very difficult to find a ski that turns well on both sides and is balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dirt Posted October 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2012 Greg Badal is taking orders for the 66 and 67 A3. His number is nine two five 997 nine 914 if anyone is interested. I like the support I get from Greg. He knows how to set skis up. He skis ok also. I don't get anything out of this. He charges me above retail on everything. Ask anyone in Norcal.

Baller webbdawg99 Posted November 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's certainly news worthy that 2 of the 3 41's ran at Swiss today were on the A3 (Asher/Travers). That ties Willy's pb (and the world record) and is a new pb by 2.5 balls for Travers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted November 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 12, 2012 Says Travers is on a 66 and Willy is on a 67. I think JT is a pretty big guy thought it was interesting he was using the smaller ski of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted November 12, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 12, 2012 @gregy different styles. I am not saying I follow the logic but I am sure they both tried each size.

Administrators Horton Posted November 13, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is funny when we are making fun of Dirt. In all seriousness Greg is a good source for HO at a fair price.

Baller ForrestGump Posted November 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 13, 2012 True. It's also funny when we make fun of @Horton. :) Greg is great with supporting HO customers. I've never bought from him. Hell, I've never bought an HO. LOL. But he chats me up and has really helped me on setting up my A2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ThePantsManCan Posted November 15, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2012 Anybody know what those two boys weigh? I am assuming Will is a few pounds more than Travers. Thus the difference in ski size. I'd be interested in a 67 if it will fit a man in the 180-190 range. What do you fellows think? @Dirt, how much do you weigh and what size are you on again?

Baller ThePantsManCan Posted November 15, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 15, 2012 Haha, I'm getting older faster and faster. I have come into this sport late and have started slow on purpose to get to fast... faster. 2013 will be my first year where I can truly train during the off season and train to perform during the in season properly. Access to a course, spotters, drivers and my own cabin were all aquired last season. We really got deep into course skiing in mid July. I give a large amount of credit to BallOfSpray for everything I have regarding skiing because without it, I would have never found out about a whole load of things available to me. But this is a story for another thread... Sorry for the ThreadJacker.......... Now back to the A3 folks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Ham_Wallace Posted November 16, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 16, 2012 You Man-Speeders yet forget: We did it from 13-35. We still ran man speed when required and if required for another 10 or so years. They took man speed from us both slalom and jumping. It ain't our fault.
