You want him trying to reply to threads seriously again?

Why would anyone ever use tele-specific bindings when they could just get an AT binding and ski it with the heel released?

ever try tele'ing on AT gear? Different pivot point. It can be done, but the pivot for tele is usually a lot further back than the pivot for AT (read ball of foot versus in front of the toes)

I hear will gadd telemarks to his ice cliimbs

Point taken. Better to have him fail at funny than to fail at life.

Speaking of failing at funny.

This is no place for serious discussion. Please confine your remarks to contempt and hatred for those who employ Nordic downhill technique. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Well duh. That's because it's called DoorHingeMarking, not Telemarking.

no one cares that you can't tele

Tele isn't dead, it just smells funny.

I really enjoy telemark skiing. Makes my ass look good and my quads strong.

OK, I admit it. I like to meadow skip sometimes.

there's no better way to conspicuously stretch out your calves in the lift lines

GONNA RAMP UP YOUR LOSERNESS A LEVEL?
WAY TO SHOW EVERYONE, FUCK BOY.

Free the heel and the wrist will follow.

:fmicon:free the heel and the wrist will follow

Yea a turn that has been around for 200 years is finally dead. Took long enough. Yep no more Nordic skiing.

Long live the Stem Christie and the Stiegler swiggle

Tele = License to skid

I could only afford half a binding...

i'm riding a pair of dukes and another pair of G3's. not confidense inspiring to tele on the dukes.no feed back and the pivot is wrong as you said but for a small downhill section it can be done.
