    Ocean vs Lake question

    In the spirit of posting what will be considered another completely overlapping thread to some…here is another for which I seek expert advice. Based on input from yesterday’s thread as well as from random posts on other threads, I am now more seriously considering (i.e., obsessing) whether or...

    With right ski, backflip should be doable with time, right?

    First off, I want to acknowledge that I may come across at times as being "all over the place" so for that minority, apologies in advance for annoying or offending you by this question. On the other hand, its not mandatory to read my threads… In all honesty, I have learned a lot from the site...

    A new idea for my next ski?

    Haters and helpers alike...I welcome your thoughts. Anyway, I am thinking about a totally different approach to my next ski after having sold the 440 and hopefully I can get it sorted quickly to not lose the whole of the remaining nice weather weeks. So in thinking about and reading the whole...

    Questions about World Finals

    I have never been (I know, hard to believe) but am seriously considering going this year if I can sort logistics and get time off work. Anyway, is the general consensus that it's worth going...at least once? And do they sell stuff there? And I know this question will annoy a couple people...

    Instruction Thread for specific ski?

    I saw the instructional thread forum but it didn't seem appropriate to post this question there since those threads seem to be "how tos". But...i am wondering if there is a thread specific to the 440 tricks. Right now I don't have the engine upgrade so for now while I decide what to do (e.g...

    Forget the upgrade, how bout this?

    Engine Considerations as upgrade for 440?

    I was googling and talking to a buddy and since the experts on this forum talked me out of carbon hull for my 440 (for good reasaon), I am now either going to follow the advice of some and buy a superjet or maybe just upgrade the engine now. Through my googling and through reassessing finances...

    Another newbie question...

    I got really great input on my first post so hopefully what's likely to be another lame question is ok to throw out there to the experts. I am sure some might say this is a dumb move but since I can't afford a really sick ski, I started thinking about just upgrading the 440. Specifically, I am...
