in this thread you can ask questions you have about skiing that aren't big enough to make a thread about. ill start with: how long does it take for a windells edit to come out once the session ends?

or will next years saga be insulated, or just a shell?

No that's too drastic. Just say "I'm not going." When he asks why, say "Because f*ck you that's why!"

Link? And i think Holden kinda counts...as much as say gravis. But still no (core) ski brands make shoes? I feel like there may be a gap in the market..

He was in the background in the new game of skate, I would say he is training in Colorado.

In Steve Stepp's Trap star, what track/song is the short part before Waka Flocka starts? I know the lyrics are from a tupac song, but the instrumentals are different.

Tailslide = lip on, slide onto your tails. Tailpress = 5050 with you sitting way back so your tips and ideally bindings are off the box.

If everyone could vote for Bozeman in the Powder contest that would make me very happy.

Yes, and your boots are probably too loose. I'd hazard a guess they're too wide a last if it's on the side.

Yeah, that would help too. Tight socks are good as well, the looser they are the more rubbing there will be, just like with the boots.

there are no set rules, but i think a good progression would be:
1) front 2
2) back 2
3) opposite foot forward
4) switch up
5) 2 on

and from there its just adding them up and increasing spins

When you detune edges on skis with a file, how long do you do it and how hard should you push. I need an answer fast because i'm going skiing soon
