@Jaypro Are you using dual release or single? So you just put the ski in it without the boots and release goes in front of the tine? @mmosley899 Below is the rack in question. I don't own a Prostar, I have a Response so most likely I will normally just trunk it or leave it on the floor. But this is a very important question of my ski bud who I'm pretty sure has it written in his will that he be buried in his Prostar

Making the switch to Mike's bindings but was wondering if they fit in the Prostar's ski racks? Single release, dual release, anybody know? Thanks

Yup, no surgery, very clean breaks. Thanks for the well wishes, it doesn't hurt, but sometimes maybe it does hurt that I'm married to a Physical Therapist. But she's starting to get sick of putting me back together.

Double vapors, I just think it was that perfect storm of being in the turn and forces pushing me into the ski when something went wrong. Already been talking with @mmosley899 about upgrading to some MOB bindings.

4 ball at 28 did me in. I've never run 28 and this pass was earlier to 3 than I ever have been. Pulled my guts out to keep the momentum going into 4 and then not sure what happened. Both tibia and fibula broken down low. Luckily a very clean break and no hardware, but my already short Michigan season was cut even shorter.

Gainesville seems to be the black hole in Florida where no skiing exists. I think the gators have laid claim to all of the good lakes down there. My brother moved down there about 2 years ago and put up post looking for ski lakes and the best he found were about 40 minutes away, Lake Alto and Lake Santa Fe were supposed to be pretty decent.

My bro and his wife are contemplating moving to Gainesville FL for a job and are looking for lake front or lake access. They checked out Lake Alto and Santa Fe but most of it is private / gated community (or at least that's what they found). They found a couple launches but they'd rather find a place to leave a boat instead of having to trailer it from Gainesville. Any recommendations on lakes, marinas, slips, or heck even cheap land to put a dock?

Thanks guys, I thought I was missing something because there is no loop in the rubber hose, it is pulled a taut as possible. I messed with the hose and with the metal cable inside and after a phone call to Eagle they were pretty sure it was just assembled wrong.

I picked up a 14 RLX this year that came with an eagle trailer with swing away tongue. It sadly got packed up for the winter yesterday and when I tried to fold up the tongue, it barely goes to 90 degrees. I've seen others that fold all the way around, but mine is getting hung up by the brake line. Is there a disconnect for the brake line, or is that it?

Both feet in

Well, he made his first attempt this weekend on 63" Radar Senate we're demoing from our local shop (I got hosed by a guy on ski it again...) While he wasn't successful, I was proud of him because he was all grit and kept trying. The ski is floating up on him though, floats up and then falls to the side and we have to reset before we put line tension on him. Any tips?

@Bruce_Butterfield what do you recommend for binding placement? Keep them close or is a little space beneficial? Also with the long ski and the little guy is it advantageous to put the bindings a little farther forward to make the ski easier to handle ie not flopping to its side when sitting in the water?

Wow, thanks guys, completely changed my ski search. Great pic btw @GOODESkier, hoping to get my little guy carving like that soon.

Not a bad idea @Chef23, but the combos he's on aren't shaped at all and have a pretty cheesy binding. I'd rather get him something that he could use for a few years and be better for crossing wakes. Thanks @markchilcutt I really appreciate it.

Anyone have a kids slalom ski that they want to part with? My son is turning 6 in a few weeks and is bound and determined to get up on one this season, but his combos don't have a toe plate. He's a big kid and is mid 50ish pounds. Obrien makes the jr pro tour at 58" and I know KD used to make a 59" 7000 but I don't know what else is in that size range. I'm thinking much longer than that might get too unwieldy for him but I default to whoever has experience teaching someone this young. Thanks
