why is the mounting point further back on the Sanook compared to the B3 for what appears to be the same size ski??Quote:

The Rossis are B4 (not B3). I guess for mrkting reasons or being too cheap Rossi used the B3 graphic.
I only have a couple days on the B4s and I'm thinking about moving the mounting forward. I was warned they need to be broken in so need to few more days on them before any changes.

I think it has something to do with ball of foot vs boot center but I'm not sure
Quiver update.

Pistols and and short xxx`s belongs to ms.
my ever evolving quiver...
http://www.biglines.com/photos/blpic37627.jpg
Skis (left to right):
Old K2 Enemas (sold to a friend...who seems not want to come and pick them up in this winter...:) )
Brand new K2 Seth Pistols, 189cm, with Solly 914s (mounted 2cm forward, my new do-everything-allaround ski)
Head Monster Im 103, 193 cm 02/03 model. Just sold those too. I had to take the picture before giving them up...it was a love/hate relationship...great skis, just a tad too stiff for me
K2 Explorers (-99 model) with Riva Z:s(?)...crappy skis but so am I at tele.
Boards (l to r):
Hammer Pulp Series 163cm, -99? model. I remember it having great flex and pop. Heavy by today's standards though. haven't use it for couple of years.
Wife's Burton Feelgood (Victoria Jealouse's model) 159cm, women's freeride board. Seems pretty good (haven't tested though)
Old Burton Supermodel, -98? model. This was my pow gun for Epic February of -99 in verbier. I've totally killed that board but it has some memory value, I should get it hangin' on the wall or something...
Behind the skis is the toy for summertime fun: Rocky Mountain Switch Ltd
Missing: Head Mojo 80's 181cm 05/06 model that I should have got for the spring...still waiting for those to arrive
Pistols might get freerides next year if I have the money to buy Gotamas...or then, on the other hand, Gotamas with freerides, hmmmmm...:)
Do you think those x-screams would burn of you poured a lot of gas on them an lit 'em? :FIREdevil (Prolly should change binders with those on the volkls first though)Quote:

There aren't many of those 03/04 Sanouks around. Very cool ski. :)Quote:

nice. Which one did you get first and why did you get the other one?Quote:

I was skiing Gotama's last year and pawned them to get Sanouks this year (both for my powder ski--Explosives other days). What is your side by side comparison?Quote:

I think losing some sidecut on the Sanouks makes them better....for a specific powder ski. Might still pick Gotama if I needed to ski them everyday.....but like Explosives on hardpack more than either.
:fuckyou: ;)Quote:

I finally got to ski the Sanouk this year too. It felt like a Spatula up front but with a tail that really wanted to engage. I only skied them in some heavy snow with a slight crust, so it wasn't the best testing conditions.
I finally have a quiver of more than one ...
Bros for everything .....
Spats for the deepest days.
I have the exactly the same garage door as youQuote:

Funny how the 171 Xbows are 5-6 cm longer than the 170 Jaks (which are really like 165s)...wish I had the 180 Jak BCs
Want to add something a bit longer and more substantial for next season.
My Quiver isn't much to look at, so heres my families quiver.
Here are my 03/04 159 PE's:

You have a stickering problem.
However, You also have like $1500 in tourning bindings. Thats A-ok in my book.
What can I say I'm still just a big kid at heart and puttin a I heart to get high sticker on your auto is just askin for trauma. The other cool thing is I see someone walkin away with my sticks there is no mistaken ski thing they're goin down.
As for the AT bindings Sharin the pow is highly overated. Heal well and get ya some.

Amazing quiver.^^^
What do ya think of those triplets?
Triplets=not too bad in my book. They carve better than any other twin tip I've ever skied, except for the Armada AR5. They hook up and rail like you would expect an atomic to. I don't know if this is ideal for park riding, but for someone who dabbles in park this would be a good ski. It's light and the bindings aren't that heavy either. This version, the Urban Triplet, has the reinforced edge underfoot, basically another strip of edge inlaid into the p-tex. Good idea I'm sure for rails, but on snow it feels a bit catchy, because of all the parts of a ski the edge is the slowest in the snow and now it's double wide. But I was skiing in too sloppy by noon conditions when I tried them. And hey, you get three. Get three people together, buy two sets, make three pairs, split the difference. Or use all three depending on what mood you are in that day. :rolleyes:
Bossass
Those unmounted axioms look nice you are lucky to have the spare set. That ski rocks and nice quiver
Wahoo! Updated quiver...

I'm just giving you shit, man. I'm gonna get castrated for this, but I have a set of Marker 14.0s (that I got free, okay?) and I haven't had any problems with them. I don't think it's so much that Marker's suck when they are working, but when they fail they do so catastrophically. I work in a shop and test alot of binders and I have issues with a lot of other bindings before I do high end markers. But, when there's look and salomon out there, there's really no reason to buy them.
Not to derail the thread: the Markers are OK but for me, their recommended DIN are way to low. I don't recall exactly but I think mine are at 10.5 or maybe 11 when Marker suggests 9. I was coming out all over the place.
The look on my two Dynastar are at 9.5 and I'm fine with those.
Not sure what you're saying here, James. Different manufacturers do have charts that vary only slightly (but usually on the extreme ends)((except for Line bindings, which are just funky)), but a normalish person should be set at the same din on all manufacturers. For instance, on the charts I'm an 8.5 at III or 10 at III+, and that's for all diff brands. Perhaps you need to crank the Marker's higher to avoid unwanted release, is this what you are saying?Quote:
