  1. The fact that we still have companies putting an investment into R&D...and yes...marketing for our sport is a great thing. Connelly is obviously making a push...Goode is making a push...HO had an awesome campaign at the beginning of the season...Nautique just put out a million dollar ski boat (kidding of course) and Mastercraft keeps giving Horton Boats...for a niche sport such as our...THIS IS ALL A GOOD THING. As soon as Radar puts out a new ARTP I will be begging them to take my money...flying down to Rinis place and taking a few sets with Cole...it...is all...good!
  2. Way late to this party...but Mountain Song was my wake up tune for at least one year in college.
  3. Of the subsection of skiers passionate enough to care about who the best skier is only a subsection of that subsection would be interested enough to factor in jump and or trick. Either way...the correct answer is Regina.
  4. While you guys are dissecting his handle and skiing style...I am working on a sponsorship deal...
  5. @Andre I did...it was a buried tip and twisted ankle. :)
  6. This is my first season having consistent access to a consistent course. I went from struggling at 26 to my own personal best of 2 balls @ 32mph. Just curious how everyone else is doing so far this season?
  7. I blew a deep water start last week and watched in horror as the handle slapped into the my 17 Vapor Pro...I swear it happened in slomo. Luckily no damage.
  8. I can't get over how the ski gets out of shape at the finish of the turn and she gets right back into her stack SO fast.
  9. We went on a couple more dates. She is really coming around. Where my last girlfriend, the Senate C, would forgive me for putting too much pressure on the backfoot on my offside, the Vapor Pro has laid down the law and said if I am going to treat her like that, she won't turn. I also told her she is pretty, got her an uncomfortable but stylish boot, and took a vanity shot of her...so I think that helps.
  10. @swc5150 Bought my Senate C (new), Vapor (used), vapor boot (new from perf ski), Radar TRA (new from perf ski), Babes bucket, and a whole bunch more because of this site, @brooks, Rini Ski School, and Perf Ski (who I learned about here).
  11. Right now I am at FB: 29.25(ish), Fin Length - 6.96, Depth - 2.46, DFT - .745
  12. @Horton It is as close to the recommended settings as I can get without getting a sequence plate. I should also note...the ski is far more talented than I am.
  13. I have an older Senate C...first started doing the course with it and wanted an upgrade. Got into a 66" 2017 Vapor Pro for reasonable money...took it right into the course and I swear I forgot how to ski. I can't seem to get into a stack from my off side after the turn. So...when you upgrade...how do you bond with your new ski?
  14. If you follow it....there is a secret course at the end of the sun beam :)
  15. 8/32 fine thread...thank you @perfski Got the tap...worked perfectly!
  16. 2 kids...I wouldn't have anything but a bow rider at this point.
  17. I need to run a thread chaser into the bolt receivers...a couple of the threads are messed up. What size do I need?
  18. I tried the search function, but can't seem to find the recommended settings for this ski
  19. I wrapped mine in bubble wrap and then put it in a snowboard bag with my vest. I stopped at Perf Ski on the way home...got one of those sleeves with the fin protector...put that in the snowboard bag with my vest...no issue.
  20. The story of this is...On my first set I did the course at 30mph 15 off...but missed the exit gate. Next run I missed the entrance gate. 3rd run I got the whole course...which is my PB (this is my first season having access to a real course). My next set I was a mess, I am guessing fatigue, but when I showed my 12 year old son the video he asked...is that a half ball? I got a good laugh out of that :)
  21. I want the Boa RTP...but I can't bring myself to put yellow stitching on my coral Ski. #thatguy
  22. Is there any reason to call about 9.0 to 9.12 or whatever it is now?
  23. I am still stuck on the idea that a wager would be set on a 12 year scotch...like what...Cutty Sark was just too good?
