Stiff tips will drive you backseat. I'm not saying equipment is a cure-all, but I'd bet gmcunni and Madroch would see some decent improvement with softer skis.dont believe the hype. or in this case, the hip deep bullshit.

Same BSL, try 'em before you buy 'em. 173 is too short for anyone 185lb+. Honestly, the Heads are probably the right ski for you (maybe the Elans at 190.)
gmcunni and Madroch should be going for these. Both get thrown backseat by tips that are too stiff.
jonnypoach will take em for $100 cash money
I don't want his 80-year-old whore. :lol:So Brian's buying these for Carrie?
uke:if you had an extra $150 laying around, you'd buy them just so you could sleep with gregs skis.
bet you'd spoon 'em every night too........
:wink: :lol: :razz: :flame: :smash:

Is that a bid or an offer?
Sounds like an opening bid to me.... :lol:
Cheap skates! :roll:
$50.00
Ahem.. I was serious with my opening bid:
Johnny just outbid me...

Hence, my pending bid of .26. While I believe my tendency to ski backseat is largely non-equipment related, it is possible that softer tips will help. I have been concentrating on the Tyranasuarus and turning later and planting on the backside- and that has seriously been helping-- maybe it is the softer bumps but I have been much more forward, and much straighter lately. Improvement will come with practice, and if equipment helps, that too..I may bid again....
John - you are hardly a backseat skier. Trust me. Me on the other hand...
Easiest way to tell if you're backseat is watch your feet in one of the videos. If the underfoot part of your ski is ever off the snow, you're backseat.
Interesting note:
The reason the base of the Elan Bloodlines is white is to make it harder for judges to tell if the feet have crested the bump yet in the case that the skier is backseat.
I've seen a few of the KMS kids with them, and there's a shop around here that's trying to get a demo pair. I think they're out, it's just trying to find a shop that carries both Elan and mogul skis is a little bit of a challenge.Brilliant! An all white ski would help me quite a bit.
Have you heard anything about the Bloodlines actually coming out. I know they were originally supposed to be out for the 08-09 season, but were "put on hold". Hopefully they change the graphics. Not a big fan of horses.
If you catch them right Bruce can probably mount them while you wait. I went to drop my boots off last night and they said give em 15 minutes and they will mount them up.
Btw, skidmarks is out for a good week.
So did JP get these??
