connackers 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 I did, but didn`t want to scroll through the twenty-eight + pages with a pen and paper to tally a result So thought it might be good to have an actual poll as well Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 no worries we cant really give you crap when your new, that poll is long buried and was started because of the same reason you started this one. That other poll was started 3 years ago before we could do polls. Link to post Share on other sites
Telleboy 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hey connackers, by other do you mean Telemarker, snowblader, snowscooterer or what?

Fattwins 0 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 freeheel bindings. Looks a bit like cross country or used to before the gear went nuts. these days you get the best of both worlds free heel for climbing and lower body position so more face shots.

connackers 0 Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Quality! - Was wondering about those, seen them on the mountain, they look mental! I thought they were just one of the new types of skis - are they really different to use then? Link to post Share on other sites
Telleboy 0 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The first few weeks are pretty hellish if your not a skiier already but once you get the hang of it, it goes off!! remeber helmet and knee pads cos when you go down, you go down hard. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the cable restricts movement. Most of the Randonee races are being won by people on super light backcountry ski gear like the dynafit boot binding system. Link to post Share on other sites
