    Jetmaniac like amazon for skis but more knowledgeable

    I can't say enough good things about Jetmaniac. He has the fastest shipping, one of the most knowledgeable guys I have talked to, easy to deal with, he sold me a personal bpipe during a shortage when I couldn't find one, and he warranties parts that he sells even sometimes when the manufacturer...

    Blowsion 2 position pole mount reviews?

    I'm looking at buying the blowsion rc hood. I can't find any reviews on it. Any one know how it compares to the jk hood?
