I'm new here, and just bought my FX1 a little over a week ago. I had a pumped up RN before it, and a whole bunch of 440s. I found I really enjoy riding those old skis, and when I first rode an FX1, I absolutely loved it. I can't believe they don't make something like it anymore. Anyhow, I...

Wassup!!!!!!! It's Lester from PWC, How's the ski coming?
