The Quiver Pic Rerun Thread

How do you like the Save Lifes? 182cm, I'm guessing?

Yep. They're the same as the Watch Life -- 100 waist, no rocker, fairly stiff. I like them quite a bit. Good on the hard stuff.

Heh...I see what you did there.

The guys I work with who've used them have liked them but destroyed them easily. I've considered buying a pair but I think I can get a better deal on used skis here than on those on a pro form.

I haven't had these particular skis long enough to comment on durability, but I spent most of last season on Surface boards. Let's just say this - I'm moving back over to Rossi.

Most of the Surface boards I've had are kind of a chip-fest, with minimal effort in doing so. They do ski nice though, and I'm not a big rocker type guy - I like camber underfoot. They are just what the Dr ordered in that regard. Pretty cheap too - and I think I understand that better now.

Looks like it's a new platform this year, based on the Walk Life instead of the Watch. Different lengths too, up to 186 (which makes sense for the application).

Props to Surface for making a ski for that market and donating to safety organizations.

Any reason you went with the adrenalins instead of guardians again?

[iceclimberx15]

Yup. loose pivot pins, constant AFD adjusting, NO Flat tour mode, buddy broke AFD, way lighter with the 13 DIN on the Tyros, and most of all AT boot compatible...
I still think there are some bugs to be worked out on the Guardians that I thought they would address this season but didn't. And the AFD should be adjustable for AT boots not just WTR boots., Not to say there won't be with the Adrenalins as well, but first thoughts are the Tyrolia' are a better design. We'll see. I think it's going to be the goto in this class by the end of the year.

This seems pretty dialed, nice!

Have those loose pivot pin issues as well. Going to try some loctite.

I am loving the excessive amount of overlap in this thread.

Sorry I'm french and I don't understand what all of you are meaning exactly by "overlap" ? I saw it a lot of time here and I may have guess the sense but I'm not sure :-P

[Ekopower]

Overlap means a lot of skis for the same purpose. Example : Atomic Bentchetler , Opus and JJ in one quiver.

[point_it_downhill]

My current quiver,with tons of overlap. Makes me smile!

[Bobcat Sig]

I see your overlap and I raise eleventybillion:



From left to right:
196 Renegades 2.0
186 Renegade Owls w/SollyFit plates
190 Bibby Pros
191 ON3P Wrenegades
190 Salomon Rocker2 108
187 Legend Pro XXL
186 ON3P Viciks with Dynafits (will be moving these back to alpine in favor of something lighter)
188 Moment Tahoes
187 Blizzard Titans

It appears that I have a problem ...

[HansJob]

that's a healthy addiction

That is truly a sexy quiver, but Gawd those Wrenegades and XXLs are bonerlicious... I would call you out on the Salamons, but since I bought a pair of 190s Sir Francis Bacons for family cruising this year I do think that would be a little hypocritical...

Killer quiver...!

Seems like a pretty good problem to have.

Yah, the R2s are no gnarvegas bro brah by TGR standards, but for small hucks, mini golf and generally dickin' around in the trees and the like on a storm day - they are pretty fun. Though I'm debating on moving them on down the line as the Wrens are surprisingly playful and easy to ski.

Seems like a pretty good problem to have.

So I tell myself ...

[stuckathuntermtn]

I need a whole new quiver.

Stoked I finally got pretty much my dream quiver together.



198 Katanas & STH 16 Steels
192 Bent Chetlers & STH 16 Steels
189 Kung Fujas & Jester Schizos
190 Watea 106s & PLum Guides
