This should be in unpopular opinion skiers edition thread.

Why don’t you like pivots?
CoolChillGuy420Also people still can't figure out that Pivots are trash-as-fuck bindings and they release their newest, overpriced, and over-colored garbage as per uuush.

The winch will make a major comeback and natural speed spots won't be cool anymore, it will be all-about the winch and hitting big trannys. People will be emulating what Stept and Leigh Powis were doing in 2012. The HPX will be replaced by the DSLR with the glidecam

Double cork onto rail is a common slopestyle trick.

The world continues to not give a shit about snow skating. Still no sanctioned events or allowing us to compete in snowboarding events or allowing us to come under the umbrella of their governing bodies.

Men's/women's classes are a thing of the past. Either it's open/women's or a third class is added to mens/womens/open.

A group of core freeskiers breaks off and starts their own governing body.

Ski racing tries to rebrand itself to appear more cool but it doesn't really work.

Banked slalom snowboarding gains traction in becoming an Olympic Sport.

Diversity becomes less of a discussion and more of a norm.

It becomes super trendy to start freestyle skiing/snowboarding nonprofits.

I wonder if it a more recent qc issue, I feel as though it is only the newer pivots I have seen have this issue with. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong :9

Peach redbull hits so hard, I like the taste enough to forget that the caffeine adds up with multiple of them.

You're probably right. Brand new pivots in 2018 broke both crescents after 3 seasons. My older pivots from sometime before 2017 no problem but the toe piece broke. This year's pivots we'll see but I'm done buying them because STH2s click in/out better and can adjust while being just as safe.

I have yet to have any issues on any of my pairs (I weight about 47 pounds to be fair), but I have seen maybe 5ish friends break theirs this season. I don't remember/don't know of it happening before. I honestly love the look of the pivot, since i was tiny i always wanted them, but I will have to see if my new one hold up as well as the older ones.

I imagine I will be sticking with the pivot platform for a while as i ski cast kits.

Damn I hope not. I like natty speed spots. Hpx/hvx footage is quite common these days but I'll always prefer fisheye follow cams over DSLR glidecam shots.

VISHNUReporting back, I tried the Juneberry and it is just alright. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, just not a shining example of a special bev. Kind of reminds me of blue Kool Aid flavor. Middle of the pack, would buy occasionally just to mix things up. In a perfect world I am reaching for the Fig Apple Red Bull (or sugar free regular) but I am definitely known at the CVS by my gym for having a Peach in my hand from time to time.


thinking I might mail you a revolutionary energy drink you've probably never heard of. google up JOCKO GO, 5 ingredients, all natural, legit the only energy drink that's good for you. been on one hell of a kick recently
