ive heard about skiing pontoons tele. i've laughed it off many times. i understand the elimination of tip dive, but it just seems like the lead changes would be extremely awkward.
maybe i'm wrong. if so, somebody vouch.

You just gotta ski cowboy style...
Paging Hop.
It's completely impossible to ski any reverse sidecut ski tele.
For that matter it's completely impossible to ski any fat ski tele, or to ski at all agressively. Tele is for butt waggling turns under the liftline.
Duh
I saw a guy on them with Bomber Bishops. Asked and he said he was loving the setup. I'm not a tele person, but it seems to me that binding would rock on those skis. It'd give you plenty of extra control/stability to work them. The bindings are too heavy to tour on, according to Tele afficionados, but you aren't going to tour on Toons anyway.
Fixed it for you.Quote:

Even when I tele.
You can count the number of tele turns hop does in a season with fingers and toes.Quote:

Actually LB makes way more tele turns than you would think. I couldnt really figure out any reason "why", but he seemed to be having fun ;)

And, FYI I only ragdolled being a complete jackass and it hardly had anything to do with tele turns.
Just to set the record straight, right now.... this quote did not come from me. But I was there AND tempted to push the idiot off the chair, especially when he used the term "invincible" to describe how he felt when he got "super low" :cussing:Quote:
