BK - have you tried using a half-link to tension? I agree that tensioners suck - I bought a half-link when I broke my 2nd tensioner in 6 mos.

For the same reason a 750Sx has 743cc of actual displacement, or even further back, the 550 has 530cc of displacement -- etc, etc.

Nice turf job there! I turfed my footholds this weekend and WAS pleased with the results . . . until now.

. . . buy a beach house and practice on real waves?

I'm regular foot as well and I have always rotated/spun left on my skis, but when I ride my bike, I prefer rotating right (180's, hips, quarter pipes) and have a really hard time spinning left ... so I figure it all must be a mental block either way.

That trick was pioneered before wide-spread use of trims in freestyle anyway. I haven't tried one yet either but feel ready.

I made some nasal douche last night and it helped me a LOT ... 1/2 cup warm water 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt stir till it's clear I'm reusing a (washed) saline nasal spray bottle I had around - perfect. I was actually able to breathe freely when I woke up today, prbly the first time in a...

Excellent, thanks for the info guys. I also have had a nasty sinus/asthma issue ever since I got my Superjet last month.

Maybe, are you sure?

That's true, but don't the RRP FS-1's have a ridiculously wide stance?

I may try it out this winter when I chop up my SN ...

Hey guys - I saw a (2006?) WF vid that showed some footholds mounted with the toe-through (poking out the side of the ski). I'm assuming this was done in conjunction with a wide tray. Any one done/doing this to their ski and why or why not? 00:17

Gimme a break - spoiled new school freestylers (j/k). You can definitely do a jump sub with no footholds. I quit riding for 7yrs and just got a SN last month so I haven't chopped it up yet - I can dive subs all day. You can also learn power 360's, marriots, superman, sprung monkeys/ballbusters...

Nah - I just ride it the way I rode a BMX as a kid. Don't knock it till you try it. Just like a couch rider doesn't understand a freestyle stand-up rider. BTW - the gear ratio is 28:12 - that's a pretty tall wheel. Here's Lenosky - blame him for the Giant STP:

For all of you old men too old to BMX but too young at heart to enjoy LONG solitary lactic acid build up session ... ... my MTBMX -- great for short commutes to work (8 miles) when it's not 100 deg out -- also great at the dirt jump trails and the skatepark. Freestyle for the mountain biker ...

Cool - well, I have some Surf Jet Louie's footholds, turf, underpad, epoxy, etc. already anyway - but I guess I'll chill out and wait until winter - I think Cannibal is right. The timeline posted by TB is really helpful to me for planning - thx for that. LBE - I used to run a 24-7 scupper and...

I just picked up a Superjet and would like to install footholds, but I have a crack in the back of the gunwhale - it's sealed up pretty well, but I'm afraid I still need to de-foam. I'd also like to install a one-way/scupper as well ... Installing footholds and turf is enough of a chore - how...

Yes - I almost originally posted that i feel like a junkie about to have my first hit in a LONG while.

Hey Aaron - it was good chatting skis with you guys the other day, hopefully you guys had a good ride. My name's Gary BTW - I prbly never formally introduced myself - the collection of skis laying around your shop is just too distracting and I'm unable to think clearly when I'm there. I should...

I started riding in 1986 and bought my first ski in 1994 - but in early Spring of '03 I parted out all of my ski stuff to pay for my last semester of college (since I was maxed out on credit). I get paid tomorrow and will be meeting a guy about a SJ this week - I'm at most a week away from...
