  1. Hey ballers I will fly to turkey next week and have the possibility to ski for free when I'm there. But apperantly I'm a little afraid to take my ski with me because I know how rough the workers at the airport are. So how do you transport your gear when flying to make sure it doesn't get damaged ? I was thinking about buying a sportube series 3 because it seems to be quite safe ... an experience with it ?
  2. @sfriis wow 55 mph you're a beast
  3. Hey ballers I'm about to pick up some new strada bindings and have a nice deal for the 2011 and 2013 model. The only question i have : is there an difference between the 2011 and the 2013 model ?
  4. Ok thanks a lot :) The HO TX seems to be quite nice. What is the general difference between the TX and the Superlite version other than the weight ?
  5. Seems like I'll never know which ski I should buy :'(
  6. @Than_Bogan Ok thanks a lot I'll read up on those things. But I still need the right ski :D
  7. @Than_Bogan Thanks I'm happy to be here :) I'm sorry I'm not too good at expressing myself the right way ^^' when I said doing some aggressive turns I basically meant that I'm trying to do some deep slalom like turns with the right technique. Guess I still need some advice for the ski choice ^^'
  8. Hello everyone ! I'm pretty new to this forum but it seems like there are a lot of nice and experienced people using this place. I've been on the water for about 7 years now and tried everything from normal combo skiing over wakeboarding and finally also slalom skiing. I guess the slalom ski is what caught me in the end. So basically I want to buy my first own slalom ski. About me: I'm about 6 feet tall ( a tiny bit over 6 feet ) and weight 165lbs. I feel pretty confident when I ride behind the boat and I'm mainly free skiing but always go for nice and aggressive turns to improve my ability ( so if you would ask me about my skill level my answer would probably be somewhere between intermediate+ and maybe even advanced ). When it comes to the speed I ski at it varies from about 26 mph to 32 mph ( depending on how I feel and what the driver of the boat is up to ) so the speed is not really consistent. The ski should be suited for all those things stated above and should give me the opportunity to improve my skills more and more so that I will be ready to hit the course with it in the near future. I'm happy about every advice I can get :)
