Telemark skiing is dead.

Just because you absolutely suck, doesn't mean everyone else does. Take a lap mo-mo.

Mo-mo? Ummm - you can fuck right off little guy. Just keep us posted on her “progress” as she flails around on that shitty gear. Chump.

[PB]

Excellent. Pinheads bringin' the flames, just like 30 years ago. Makes me feel slightly less old.

[jmedslc]

[emoji23] gotta love people calling each other names on the internets.

To jackstraws point tho, as I celebrate my 17th year of tele skiing, I hold dear my response when people ask me “why do you tele?”

“I need a reason to suck!”

Merry Christmas telewhackers

[frorider]

Wow jackstraw is zero for two on his attempted insults.

Merry Christmas you pinheads.

[Laps]

Any chance anyone has some small outlaws they want to sell? Trying to find out if ntn is for me.

And yes, Merry Christmas, pinheads!

Look at how much more “soulful” these fucking turns are on lace up leathers. My god, nothing with so much passion and emotion could ever be performed in plastic boots. I mean forget about NTN, Laps. You are going the wrong direction looking for Outlaws. [emoji849]





Not the athletic tape holding the side throw bail togther on the boot in pic #2. I mean nothing has more soul that skiing a broken telemark binding, right?

[abraham]

How do you know they're broken?

[Buster Highmen]

Why would you do that to the poor guy, js?

would you send him out in alpine boots that look like this?

Those are Molitors circa 1968, used for alpine bindings. See the notches in the front? That's for the marker dl toe paired with either a telemat or rotomat heel.

That buckle system was used on the Heschung, the first plastic high back boot worn by Patrick Russel circa 1969.

Back to your cheesy insults and bickering.

how could you tell the difference ?

Is it more soulful if I look for meidjos?

Nice turns on flimsy gear, more soul than Muddy Waters

This is my favorite tele video of leathers and skinny skis

Don’t know why there’s no audio, it had a pretty good track iirc

Thx for that antidote to the double pole plant vid upthread.

Ripped out a ten year old hammerhead mount today. I have dreaded this day. I ski alone all the time but today ullr blessed me with a mag. Jaxon was there to carry my carnage to the bottom since this happened a couple turns from the top. Thanks again my new friend.

If tele is dead I guess I can get rid of my last free heal binding. Do any of you walking anachronisms have an interest in a pair of lynxes?

Have a pair of the blue and red scarpas too (27).

I'm keeping my patchouli oil.

Looks like wickstad is already a quarter of the way through a binding swap!

Those look like large Lynxes, but if they're small, maybe start in the least active position. My smalls were ridiculously stiff on the first few tours, feel like they're breaking in now though. Apparently not as big an issue with the larges.

Copyright strike probably. Track was BeeGees Stayin Alive. Closing credits MIA Paper Planes. Source: downloaded the vid from telemark tips years ago.

22D now has softer flex plates and softer springs for the smalls.

[Laps]

They are smalls, and the feel is much different than 75mm. Skied them in middle position last night, will go neutral today. The adjustability and touring are fkna sweet on these binders.

Atree, sent you a pm.

What I’m reading is that I can now expect to fall further back in the skin track when skiing with Laps.

Congrats on the new rig!

It occurred to me overnight that my bomber plates might be a solution. I hope I still have them. They would be mounted on my next most modern setup so I think I would have kept them.
