I was 5'5" and 100 lbs when I was in about 5th or 6th grade, so I'm guessing:

Age: 12 or 13
IQ: 100

You should buy the Seth Vicious. I have like 135 days on them so far this season -- they absolutely shred the gnar.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Seriously. Buy them. Now.

Also, get some kickass bindings to go on them -- don't settle for any crap. I use these, and suggest you get them too:

right ski, wrong binding

2 problems:

A) Spacer Comfort interface plate (height is 2 mm.)

If he is 5' 5" he needs ATLEAST 40mm of lift

B) DIN settings range: 2.5-9

These pieces of shit only go up to 2.5, 100lbs and 10% air = -5 DIN

i agree, i think those bindings suck... every time ive ever mounted those they feel like theyre going to fall apart in my hands..

Solies are always reliable.

as for our new JONG big mountain pow check this out before you post anything else: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=20100

If you knew anything about skiing, you'd know that a bunch of internet jockey's can't tell you what ski is best for you. You'd know that the only way to pick the right ski for you is to demo. You'd know not to tuck your blue jeans into your boots and to always buckle your chinstrap. Also, don't forget that you're not a special nor unique snowflake...but of course, you already know that.

and maybe its time to switch out your rear entries because, contrary to what you might think, it doesnt look cool to slog through the parking lot with your boots wide open. and when you buy your new skis carry them on your shoulder rather than dragging them along the street...

**bigmtnpow** · 03-03-2005, 04:42 PM

im just looking for a little feedback, im not gunna buy a ski based on what you like, Im going to demo them also

I dont have rear entries, I have technica Icons
I dont wear Jeans, I wear obermeyer pants
I dont tuck my pants into my boots, I have put them over my boot

Thanks to those who helped

Maybe that was too subtle for hucksquaw and LaramieSkiBum...

(I've never even seen a Seth Vicious. I don't have 135 days on any pair of skis. And a Rossi Saphir binding...?)

GOTCHA!!!

**WhiteHunter** · 03-03-2005, 08:32 PM

maybe hucksquaw but not me, your detector needs calibration

40mm of lift and negative 5 din is where its at....

With -5 DIN, do the bindings pre-release before you even click in?

**hucksquaw** · 03-04-2005, 03:31 AM

wow maybe i should actually try to comprehend what im reading... i dont usually read whole posts anyways because im not much of a reader. but id have to say i got fucked on that one.

i went back and read that and had to kick myself in the balls.....

i have officially withdrawn any sort of authority i might have had to JONG for unsaid period of time...

BWAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA.

Yeah, all the big mountain studs I know wear Obermeyer.

Are you on "Team O" ? http://www.obermeyer.com/teamo/teamo.html

Jong, you are just a park rat, who dreams about big mountain pow skiing.

All you do is fuck around, you slope styley, sole grindey, switch sliding, crotch grabbing, gaper faker, obermyer wearing JONG!

yeah. clothes really make the skier, I forgot about that

imagine if Bode didn't ski in Spyder but did the Super G in a TGR hoodie, imagine how cool and fast he'd be then

or Shane and Brad, imagine if they didn't wear their jong-ish GoreTex but instead ditched their basejumping parachutes and used their TGR hoodie to support the jump

what are they thinking, as we all know, the gnar-lyist skiers don't go out and ski, they live here hoping to flame their next victim

p.s. make sure to wear Brad's new cologne with that TGR hoodie, you'll pick up another 10 ft on each huck

Holmes Sweet Holmes

"Bad" Brad Holmes has never beHolmes Sweet Holmes en a guy to go unnoticed. Flamboyant and brash, the tattooed former World Junior mogul champ and U.S. Ski Team member has been described by Ski Magazine as "The image of the 21st century freeskier." Yet his indulgences have an aromatic side. The former professional mogul ski champion has ventured into the world of men's hygiene with the cologne "Attitude by Holmes."

"It's a mild scent and quite appealing. I put a lot of effort and investment into the project," says the 30-year-old Squaw Valley resident who worked with Manhattan based industry specialists to come up with his fragrance. A five-ounce bottle retails for $19.95 and can be purchased over the net at www.attitudebyholmes.com . Holmes, who has his own signature ski with K2 and clothing line with Rip Curl, is developing other products such as sunscreen, lip balm, and shampoo. He's also sponsoring an "Attitude" team made up of the most recognizable faces in snowsports including Shaun Palmer, J.P. Auclair, Kent Kreitler, and Glen Plake.

"Michael Jordan has his own cologne and he can jump only six feet. Everyone on my team can jump at least seventy and smell good doing it, too," says Holmes.

**bigmtnpow** · 03-04-2005, 01:49 PM

**splat** · 03-04-2005, 02:06 PM

With this much spray, I can't believe a wager hasn't been thrown down.

**ScottG** · 03-04-2005, 02:06 PM

Bwaaaaa Haaaaaaa

Boooooooooo Hooooooooooo

I only fucked with you cause you said it like it meant something.
You brought up the brand as if it got you bonus points.

I could care less, but it was fun to stir the pot.

Its funny that you even felt the need to reply descriptively to someone that alluded that you wore jeans and tucked them into your boots.

Bwaaaaaa Haaaaaaaa

Stick around - you're very defensive and occasionally entertaining

**bigmtnpow** · 03-04-2005, 02:44 PM

haha ok^

**DePierre** · 03-04-2005, 02:50 PM
