Which is easier? My roommate has some FKS but to pry them from him would be to pry them from his dead hands. I'll check gear swap maybe.Quote:

Unmounted 2006 B1's will be getting the Axial 140's off the RPM17's and will be the primary ski. Love them Bandits.
wow I've always wanted to try the rpm's. What do they ski like?
They're rockets. They're the same as the Bandit XX 110/74/100 but with riser plates. Wood core. I have Axial 120's on them and they're heavy. They're VERY demanding. In the beginning of the season and I'm out of shape they sap every bit of strength I have. Sometimes they're too much ski for me when I want to ride in the backseat at the end of a long day. Into the season when I've built up leg strength they're the fastest skis I've ever been on. Very fast on hardpack, tears up crud, and has a fairly good floatation for my weight (225lbs).Quote:

Those are so sick Adam. Are you gonna put 914s on them?
yes I am
(this is adam, just on nick's computer"
it's a stiff ski but fun, I rode a pair last year you have to stay balanced once you find the sweet spot they are great.
AHHHH!!!! ADD SENTENCE FRAGMENTS!!!! AHHHHH!!!Quote:

Have all of my stuff out right now as I pack, so I thought it would be a good time to put up my Quiver Pic. I cheat here with some skis that are retired. I still/will use the four pairs on the right side of photo.
http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney5/P1000299.jpg
From left.
TRS The Ski 190 w/steel Besser Bindings - Retired - these were my old mans. Display only, though still skiable. Purchased new from Gart Bros downtown store in Denver.
K2 Coors Skis - 188 Purchased off E-Bay for display - never mounted
Dynastar Telemark - 210 My first pair of Tele boards. Formerly mounted with 3-pin Rottefella. Bought from foreign exchange student who went to my high school back in the late 80's. Jan Norman was the Norwegian who sold me these and he ripped - he used to throw heli's in the middle of bumpy ice runs with these things and leathers! Crazy guy. Someday I will turn with him again.
Rossi 4S 200 Loved these skis. Originally mounted alpine with Looks, later converted to 3-pin. Did a hut tour with these beasts back in the day :nonono2: .
K2 Piste Stinks 190 w/Rainey and Rottefella TRP release plate - my midwest tele bombers.
Rossi Bandit X 191 w/ Marker turntables. My current groomer basher. Still like these old sticks.
Salomon AK Rockets 195 w/Fritschi's. Skis were from the S&C sale. Heavy setup, but worthy on the downhill :biggrin:
Bro Stiffs 188 Blems from Splat, to be mounted with the new 914's laying in front of them - they have those cool moving AFD's. Fellow mag Xboat who is a salomon mounting veteran is going to help me get these on Tuesday night - just in time to bash some crud and slush next week in New Zealand. Tramdock's always excellent service had these at my house almost as soon as I clicked through the deal.
Foreground:
Mostly I put this stuff on here because it was already out. Backpacks are both from Steep and Cheap. Ortovox Probe from Tramdock, old school LifeLink shovel that I bought at Wilson Sports in the mid nineties, brand new Scarpa Tornados from Tramdock that I hope will ease my AT experience and save my toenails, old Technica Explosion alpine boots that always freeze my toes - they sent me these shells to use with my original liners after the flourescent orange shells exploded, some Scarpa T2's and my original tele boots, a pair of Asolo Extremes that I bought as a package from the Norwegian guy, a Mammut Barryvox transciever from REI, BD Clipfix skins, BD adjustable probe poles, and an assortment of goggles and some other junk.

Well, not really a quiver, rather a collection in my case. Note especially the long black unmounted skis in the mid of the pic. Völkl Zebra from the sixties, I think. Stiff. 210cm. Screwed edges, green base. Did I say STIFF. Nothing in the collection even comes close to the stiffness of these. At least three times as stiff as the orange rennservice 203 GS skis for example.
Wow thats some brand loyaltyQuote:

Well, I got on my first Völkls when I was fifteen (now 36). They were nothing special, but my next ski was the original P9. By that time the P9 series was pretty much in a class of its own, I would say. Nowadays there are many good skiis, but I kind of grew addicted to a certain feel I get from most Völkl skiis. So I stayed on the brand. The old black skis and the red white pinstriped ones to the left I got as presents from people that know I sort of like the brand.
Not mine, and not very TGRish, but noteworthy IMO:

There's waaaaaaaaaay too many to type, suffice it to say lots of Atomic race skis in various levels of stock, some metrons, and some sugar daddies.
WOW

now that is a nice quiver!! nice, real nice clark.
why is no one getting yelled at for markers? i don't care, i'm just suprised.
I got mine before I knew any better.
I will have to put then on the 'Toons as they are the only company to make a brake wide enough...to my knowledge. I think Salomon only goes up to 120mm. Just off the top of my head.
Jim, 4frnt makes a 130mm brake for the deadbolts. And you can always bend those sollys.
Sally brakes are super easy to bend. Just bend some fattys out a little bit and they should clear no problem.Quote:

14 pairs of skis at 17 years old? That's almost a pair of skis for each year of life!!
If I could have 32 diff skis I wouldn't be apologizing.
Cool to see someone (Jim S) has a bigger quiver overlap problem than I do...
my newest pic is pending once I get some mounts done.
I included my Dad’s 170 Mantra he keeps at my place for his trips out west. We have the same boot sole length, so I could use them (without asking of course ;) ).
http://www.pullindev.com/ski_pics/quiver_0607start.jpg
168 6 Star Marker 1400 (For my inner EC child)
170 Mantra Marker 1200 (Dad’s)
184 Mantra Marker 14.0 (last yr everyday, Keeping in case weight loss plan works and the lighter me likes the 184 better than the 191)
191 Mantra Mojo 15 (everyday, skied a couple days last year)
193 Sanouk Marker 12.0 (pow, fun in the corn too)
194 LPs FF17 (Crud/Corn/Hard snow long turns only. )
195 XXX Rossi 140 (Bought new in plastic last year – Rock skis)
Not pictured unmounted bindings: Mojo 15 and FF17 that are part of migration from Marker plan….
I think its safe to say that you have the largest collection of markers on TGR :nonono2:
