Womens v mens tx pro? Is the plastic cuff different (for bigger calf muscles) or just cosmetics?
This has been my thought process so far, happy to not overthink!Quote:

On BMFs, I have three pair of skis mounted at the line. Haven’t felt like I need to change.
I’m still hunting for some 75mm Scarpas or Garmonts size 26. Trying to rejoin the cult

I've kinda gotten away from freeing the heel the last few years, but MAN! there is now a replacement crew out there that I see on the regular, and NONE know how to actually commit and make the real-deal telemark turn. It's the biggest heel lifting poodle show ever! Watched a guy on a brand new DPS/Outlaw/TX Pro set up, and it hurt to watch. Dropped his rear foot back at least 3-4" before he delicately lifted his heel and tip-toed a Paramark turn. Ugh. I might have to come off the bench to save the scene in the area.
We’ve been waiting for our saviour.Quote:

Meh.
anyone have experience with whether 22 designs will rebuild a set of older (out of warranty) Outlaw X bindings? I just got a new set of daily drivers and the old ones have some significant side to side play in the pivot point. i feel like they'll explode if i keep them in use. i'm gonna send them an email asking for a rebuild, offer to pay, etc.
That's your best bet. Or even a phone call if you can find one.
Wait, he might’ve been serious. #telestylemattersQuote:

I may go to one of the Colorado demo days in February, but not because of the bindings, as I already own and use the Outlaw, Lynx, and Axl -- what I'm interested in are the Moment skis mounted with tele bindings. (22 Designs says they will have Voile and Moment skis for the demo, but I already have skied a bunch of Voile skis.)
Do any of you tele with any of the Deathwish or Wildcat versions? I've heard second-hand accounts of tele skiers enjoying the Deathwish, but it would be helpful to hear a first-hand account.
I have exclusively skied the deathwish for the last 6 years? I can't think of using any other ski actually.
Mounted a set of Outlaws on a pair of Elan Wingman 86 Ti's last night. I really like my Ripstick 88's w/Outlaws as well, but wanted something a bit "edgier". We'll see how it goes.
Cool, good to hear.Quote:

I talked to the 22 designs demo tour guy at Sierra At Tahoe a couple weeks ago and he said he had same set up and mounted them one position back and liked them like that, but all of their demos were mounted on recommended center.Quote:

I'll be at the demo at Ski Santa Fe on Sunday, maybe Saturday too, hoping to get friends on tele for the first time. Also hoping to try some of the Moment skis, but with feet at the top of the Small NTN size range I expect any ski I demo with a Small binding will be shorter than I'm used too. Should be interesting!
I have Outlaw Xs with brakes on Moment Governors (116mm underfoot) as my only inbounds ski, and while I do catch the brakes on each other or the other ski occasionally, this has gotten much less frequent over the last year or so. It pretty much only happens when I have my knees and feet right together for a nose press/butter or something. Given that I occasionally pop out of Outlaws, I still prefer brakes to leashes.Quote:

Scored some minty Kilowatts with Fritschi Freerides for $50 last week... sold the touring bindings for the cost of the skis in the b/s/t forum. Axls were $65 on FB but didn't come with heel blocks. Nice little budget addition to the quiver. I like these old noodly Black Diamonds for slushy mid-Atlantic skiing.
I have old blue HH heel blocks I could send you (I think). I just need to check the parts box. PM if interested.Quote:

Gifted to my GF by a good friend. Great shape, used once, bit of rust on the edges. Most of it cleaned off easy enough. Dstar Lafille skis, circa late 1990s.
Got some T4 boots that seem to fit her and should work ok for now. She is still learning the basics of ski touring. Might need a couple of the longer spring hook cable thingys.
Always fun to bring old boards back up to usefulness. Old skewl narrow planks at 85/65/75
I skied 69 underfoot Rossignols yesterday with 3-pin, no cable bindings with my old T4s. Wow was that terrifying. Hard to believe that was the way not so long ago…
Oar peoples had bedder skillz
I like to think I still have skillz
So like powder skis?Quote:

Montets! I still have a pair mounted up.Quote:

I think the Chouinard Valmonte X waxless was the shit for what folks now call XCD
Top sheet chipping? [emoji6]Quote:
