Id like to emphasize this point, what part of "Quiver" makes you think we want to see your clothes?
Might as well start another thread called "The Steezealicious Wardrobe Thread".....
but do it over at newschoolers
Ok, let me explain the post...I have one picture of my skis...It happened to have my clothes in it because there is a thread on Newschoolers entitled "Show Your Setup fo 07". I didnt see a point in taking the time to set up my skis, snap a new picture, and plug the camera in just to get the clothes out of the frame. I just copy and pasted my post in that thread. I frequent these boards more than Newschoolers and took on the sarcastic tone (see it up there above the photo) to show that "Yea, I know the clothes are in the picture, I kinda feel like a tool posting the photo, but whatever, most people on this board arent dicks."
Not to compare this board to "that other kiddy board" but the responses my picture elicited are identical to what a quiver pic with a race ski in it would elicit on that "other" board (and I dont mean epicski).
Sorry if I wasted your time but maybe next time try not being such a dick.
dude, you have 2 pairs of skisQuote:

Here's my current quiver:
http://www.biglines.com/photosv2/200...ines_68908.jpg
L to R: Donek 210 SG Snowboard; Coiler 180 RaceCarve; O-Sin 178 4807 Powder Board; Donek 171 FreeCarve 1; Volkl 163 RennTiger SL; Nitro 159 Asym Carving Board (Old school board I was riding back in the '90s), Rabanser 135 Childrens Race Board (my daughter's board); Vintage Surfer; Rossi 196 B4; Rossi 192? Energy (bought 10 years ago so I could teach my son on skis instead of a snowboard).
Tri-U...Quote:

you should get 2 of those 210 snowboards and mount them alpine ;)

finally managed to get a pic of the quiver. kinda sparse but it gets the job done.
180 Atomic Powder Plus - Salomon 997
183 Head Monsters - Rossi FKS 185
Those clothes pics are funny.
Looks like two squashed park rats on your floor.
nice quiverQuote:

i know, that's what I was thinking, but I am very indecisive. i change my mind about the skis i want every day.
I hear ya.
Well if you want to demo them one day let me know.
Should fit 300-320mm pretty easily.

This years active, not much by comparison but they fill my needs.
177 Volkl 724 EXP for skiing with the wife
180 Powder Ride w/ 977s
180 Heli Daddies w/ Freerides
184 M777 w/ Tyrolias
190 EHP w/ Z12
there needs to be proper nomenclature for identifing the EHP190 and the EHP193 since they are different skis
I've thought about that. Probably safer if you did it with 171s though.Quote:

Do you think it is worth the money to mount up bombers on my skis? Thanks for the help.

The Bishop Bombers are pretty much nonpareil for edge control, which is why I have them on all the burlier/wider skis like the V-Ex, Big Daddy and Tabla Rasa. I also like them because they have a very smooth flex curve, and don't feel "hinge-y". It's also nice that they can be adjusted for activity as I personally don't like bindings that are too "active". They might be overkill for narrower or lighter skis, and they don't tour very well - in fact they tour like shit due to weight and no tour mode. For your Made'ns as in-area only (or sidecountry at the most) setup they'd be great, but (especially for the Pistols) you can get plenty of power/control with Hardwire/Cobra type bindings or underboot cable systems like the BD O2/O1 and the Hammerhead. I haven't skied G3s recently, but IIRC they're not all that different from my Voilé cables in feel, and the Hardwire/Cobra or underfoot designs are a step up from that. In short, in terms of edge control, I'd rate them:Quote:

The ------------- denotes marked increases between bindings that otherwise feel generally similar to me, though they're still listed in order of increasing edging power. I don't know where Linkens or Bulldogs fit, since I haven't tried them. This is just my own opinion, and doesn't take into account the differences in "active" feel between the bindings. In my mind, "active" versus "neutral" differences are distinct from overall edge control, though somewhat related.
I think that little chart of yours would be a good addition to marshals reccomended gear list.
Tri-U, both Linkens and Buldogs are pretty low (ie. around VP-II) on your list. While both are pretty neutral (Bulldog being complitely neutral), they both deliver really good edge control... Linken 'cause it's a plate binder (just as Bomber and VP-II) and Bulldog 'cause it really clamps the duckbill tightly on the binder (basicly none to almost none slop).

yesh very much so and dwaf the gots and arvs.
Nice sk......wait.....what kind of records you got in those crates?
Here's the quiv for this year...
http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1165911816
r to l:
189 Pontoons w/ S916s
193 Sanouks w/ 916 NINJA!!!
189 Kahunas w/ 912tis, probably going to go ninja
189 Pistol w/ 912s, probably ninja too
195 FGS 240, rock boards. Have not gotten much use yet
188 AK Enemies w/ Silvretta Pure. Yes, the bindings are taped on for this photo, not mounted yet. Awaiting Garmont Endorphins for the mount.
204 Morrison...still love these skis!
the right side of the quiver gets a whole lot more use than the left! Have to love the PNW.
Probably going to add some of this year's 179 Public Enemies at a later point, as well as some short Volkl Supersports or something similar.
gabe - that is the cleanest I've seen that section of your apartment ever (I am guessing everything was just moved out of the frame ;)) . Quiver looks good too. You really are a fan of the ninjas aren't you.
I like the cases of beer on the right too. Mmmmm...beer.....
Gabe, I gotta ask... when will you pull out the pontoons and when the sanouks?
umm, yeah. I have an overlap problem! To tell you the truth, I bought the 'nukes and the poons to try new things in pow...spice up my love life and all. Been on the nukes once, and the poons thrice. I love the poons. The pivot thing, the ski being arched in a turn, the rockered clownshoe tip crushing all...
The nice thing about the rockered tip and tail is, if we get, say, a foot dump, and it's bumpy and crusty underneath, the poons kinda float above it all. Tips definitely stay clear, so you don't get beat up as much.
the nukes are taking some getting used to, they're 193s so they're longer than most I'm used to, and they mount kinda far back. A lot of tip sticking out ahead! Still, surprisingly I went over the handlebars on them like 3 or 4 times, and released...I was getting tip dive. You kinda have to pressure the tails a bit to get the swallowtails to do their thing, and keep the tips clear. It was kind of surprising.
Sad thing is, I'd still love to try or maybe even buy Squads in a 189, EHPs in a 193, and FFFs in a 190 or 200.
Jumper... did you mount the Sanouks on the line?
I said mount foward...but gabtron wouldn't have it ;). they are on the line.Quote:
