  1. I am trying to decide on finally replacing my front knee. Is there anyone out there skiing with a total knee replacement?
  2. I just got a custome eagle vest with extra padding in the rib section, feels great and some peace of mind.....I have broken ribs a few times in the last several years so more padding is nice and I dont notice it sking.
  3. thinkin about switching to the reflex....does anyone know the injury history on them. I know nothing works perfectly, but just what are the general issues.
  4. we have a set on a sinkable course. i had to remove the extra floatation and burp them sometimes. i am putting more of the floatation on the arm of the course so it will go up and down and keep the bbbfrom being too high. ours has been in for about half a season and so far no casualties. we just have 6 and not had to replace any. they are a good solution and adds to our comfort level. get em they work.
  5. i have a set of bubble buoys on a sinkable course and we have been pleased with them. used them for about half a season and all is well. there have been several iterations i understand on the initial design.
  6. a pair of soft wileys with orthotics to give edge control will come out. ....use the soft rubber they offer. i have also added a low plastic piece ankle bone high for further edge control, but they feel great with the orthotic, come out easy when i finishe skiing and I dont worry about all this fancy design stuff that may or may not work. my performance is the same as when i used power shell....proof enough for me. being a failed test with a broken ankle is not good skiing.
  7. the Co X is a great ski, the 65 may have been a bit small for me. smaller sweet spot the S1 seems to work a bit better and it is a 66. I would like to demo the A2, but the S1 is the best so far. been running 32s on it and it feels nice, with cold water and rubber, I am likely at my limit at 32 off.
  8. i have just tried the s1 after a few skis testing this fall and so far the 66 S1 is the best for me, turns when i am late, reasonable speed, and smooth, especially support on the weak side turn.....wonder how the a2 will be. there are several aroung tenn that are pb, ing on the s1 so i took a test. on my 5th set, but it is getting cold
  9. i have an accu sink that has been modified to wallys course, works well, use it everyday. there is some maintenance. if you catch it right then all is a 5 to 15 min fix, otherwise, ugh....go to wallys he has thought it out well.
  10. at 34 i have used the smaller one, just stay on edge thru the wakes.
  11. i am running 6.866, 2.491, .751 and 8 deg and it feels pretty good. bindings at 28 7/8 for a 65 in.
  12. i am working on some more fin settings Kris LaPoint gave me....(what a smart guy), so at least will have a base line to go from. had some good sets and few just ok, but the video proved my body position to be way out, so will try again tomorrow.
  13. trying a 65, got it this weekend and a tourney tomorrow, a bit quick but we will see. ....got some good numbers for the 65 ...2.51, .770 and 6.88 8 deg....let me know how you like it.
  14. anyone else on a co x, sl?..... i understand some skiers from coble ski school is on one, i am just trying one out, been windy so not sure but has some great promise.
  15. the "world tournament team" came about because this boat pulled the worlds this year. it is a great boat, refined over the years and well balanced. call me for the white one with red and black accents. 8657555588
