Had the 8:30 to 12:00 or so shift... surprisingly good I thought. A little soft, but not the sugar or mush I have encountered all too often this year. Ventured into the bumps for real for the first time since the rib incident..nice to do so--had the motives on -- 82mm/182cm - they were very comfortable in the stinger/ex well spaced mini-bumps, but I think I will need some pratice if I want to make em work in anything a lot tighter or deeper. Crossed the tails a couple of times and lost the back end-- poor skiing technique and getting used to the wideness...
Gotta say, finding the motives kind of fun and versatile- they can carve medium/ong radius on all kinds of conditions relatively well- even on the ice they are quite good (but nothing like the RC's- which just beg to bite and hold), relatively stable in slop and at speed--did okay in the forgiving bumps, but I can't skid them consistently well yet in short check turns-- may be partly that 182cm is a lot of ski for me at 5'8" 140....(can't believe I would ever say that after spending my youth on 203cm slalam uber stiff boards).
