Woah!!! there is someone behind the little white truck cranking the wench. Okay???

I received my stack of T-shirts, they are fantastic. High quality super soft cotton, the silk screen photo's are amazing quality, cool pic's without the sweaty rubbery feel.

@Horton my humble apologies for throwing the "let's go" thing in, it was intended for humor, it came across as cynical. If we let go of the left / right fright it was enormously funny how that came about. And since you own this site, and govern it well, I respect your right to do so. I will try to keep it between the lines. The rest is real, and relevant. As @klindy stated it's "FAR FAR bigger threat than the vast majority of people realize" The "waters of the US" is a real issue, I was burned on a significant ski hole development project years ago, it still bothers me and it should concern all who enjoy water-sports.

@Wish you are correct, and the woman just confirmed to head the Bureau of Land Management, by the Let's go Brandon administration has a history of tree spiking to shut down the timber business, with views and actions like that, they are very likely coming back for the "waters of the US" which can mean water standing on your property can become federal property. So you can be mandated to do whatever they they want with no recourse. That has and will effect waterskiers!

Build a home, barn / shop, acquire more Longhorn's and ski a little, both kinds. Also to not put on the "winter coat" @Horton 3rd bullet point.

Reminds me of that old Johnny Paycheck song back in the day, " take this mandate and shove it, ain't skiing here no more"

@andjules that is a cool photo sequence

@BS74 I was being very sarcastic, I agree it is wrong

@BS74 I'm sure that is an isolated incident, the well intended unelected are here to protect only......

@Mrs_MS prolly the same reasoning that the deluge of illegals pouring over our southern border are not Covid tested and being bussed all over our country by "our" gov. The mandates are for us, laws only apply to us....

I have the grey, gen 1, I sized up to XXL on Brook's advise. Definitely my favorite glove.

@lars thanks for posting video, that was fantastic skiing, congrats to Dane.

Hmmmm still thinking, government org, success?

@eleeski 100% agree

Seems like I got my poles around 91', and the famous 9100 soon after? Yes, being thin and light does make a difference.

They are fantastic skis and poles. I first bought their composite poles 30+ years ago, still use them.

Ordered for whole family

@thager Ha that's funny (had to look it up) don't understand those foreign words...... maaaa......

Amazing!!!

Hmmm no, laws created by a representative governing body to curtail possible dangerous actions by some, is not same as compelling an invasive injection a foreign substance into someones body. Judicial activism is similar to mandate, no representation. I am not trying to provoke wrath, just thought, and that should be okay. If our governing body hands down a "preventative shot" mandate what would happen? I just checked USOPC are mandating "fully vaccinated" as of Nov. 1 2021. "Effective Nov. 1, 2021, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee will require all employees, athletes, contractors and others to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19" A one hour class / video and $20 bucks or whatever is a bit different than an injection of? And once again would there be any representation, for the skiing constituency?

So not being political, just looking at the actions of the governing bodies that affect our sport, and how all "mandates" are related, speculative or not, they seem to be popping up everywhere. The USOC who has a governing position over USAWS, conspired with USAG, and FBI to hide and cover up the actions of Larry Nassar's sexual abuse of so many young women, when they had testimonial evidence, Mckayla Maroney, (I do believe the girls that were abused) he went on to abuse 70+ more girls / young women. So they come up with safesport "mandate" it on us and keep covering up. Oh look squirrel. They did not protect the olympic gymnasts, we all need to pay attention and not let abuse happen.

@dave2ball I agree and it is completely unconstitutional, even tho some judges are ruling otherwise. What if the USOC decides to protect us and compels the USAWS into a vaccine mandate for tournaments, clubs?

Who mandates those vaccines?

@BraceMaker that is fantastic if it is your choice, but very different if it becomes another mandate.
