Yeah - I was thinking of cropping the picture, but it is pretty funny with that ski on display up there. You can't see the good part - there's about 3 feet of edge that's not attached to the ski anymore and little bits of wood and crap fall out of the core if you shake them around.Quote:

Re-posting after changing hosts.
Quiver turned over a lot this past year, becoming noticably more obese.

Funny thing there, Graham - besides being tele-functional, our quivers are analogous in other ways:
Tablas = Thashers
Surreals = Bros
King Salmons = Jak Teams
Inspireds = Jak BC
Mtn Surfs = Powder Pluses
bigstix 7.6s = Agents
Course SLs (not shown) = VR27s
Along with the SO quiver:
Havocs = PFDs
TM22s = V-Pros
Nice Whelk sticker
...I just want to say how much I love this thread:p :p :p
I got some new Kingswoods to throw up very soon (in transit from NZ)...the wife is getting a pair of 170 KW FATTIES...so stoked, for my wife that is.

I love the fact that the Pistols are as long or longer than the BD. I had 194 Bigs back in the day and my buddies pistols are as long....Quote:

Völkl Gotama 190cm + Fritschi Freerides, mounted on the mark
K2 Seth Vicious 189cm + Rossignol Axial 2 140 Ti Pro Wide (= PX14), mounted +4
Somehow Völkl has misplaced the Gotama figure on my skis, but it has not affected my skiing.
Interesting how those 189 K2's are noticably longer then the 190 Gotamas.Quote:

Hmmm...I never thought of explosivs as skinny skis, but apparently the question "Compared to what?" never entered my mind.Quote:

Thanks Marshal, but your comment makes me a bit uncomfortable given your new avatar...
Raps: They are mounted between the markings on one ski and close to the FS line on the other - the markings are shifted approx 15 mm between the skis. Luckily the guy who mounted them did a safety measurement before drilling... So I guess I don't really know where they are mounted :p I skied them once last season and they felt fine then.
come on over for dinner sometime...Quote:

Bottom line, it's always a good idea to measure.
the comp bindings in that pic look like 1400s. 1800s have an all red heal.:fmicon:Quote:
