mattlucas 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Yah I'm on the 106. Skiid it 3/4 of my days last year. Pretty soft but a ripper of a ski. I love them and tuck them in bed next to me everynight. That might be why the ladies are a little hesitant about getting into my bed. Once you get used to the edges they are really quite cuddly.

Fattwins 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Make sure you tell the ladies that your not as soft as those skis. Yuki I was busy today untill about now. Had a funny meeting, the point of the meeting was really to have a laugh. The one thing I found with My big stiff boards last year was that they would turn on a dime in the powder short or long and they were fine. 193cm atomics will short turn when you want them to its just that in the tight trees your gonna have to watch those tips.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sweet!!!! You da man F.T.!! Ill have ta look around on the net now for some bindings for em! Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 WOW!!!!! Sweet deal theere Yuki. Those are pretty sweet skis. Those are really close to what I skiid in Canada. You will be ripping it up on them for sure. They are a bitch to get on edge for the run outs but then that's not what they are for. Most of the time you will just end up going straight. You find those in Japan Fattwins? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 F.T. got em in Kyoto somewhere... wicked as eh? Theyre 125-105-115 at 180. And they were pennies too!!! What did ya say they were?? 15,000? I keep hoping F.T. will throw in some bindings too Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 ill link you to some bindings later. I got them at the local shop. I just asked the guy about them cause they were sitting in the window for a while. I will look for bindings for you if you want regular bindings you can find good used ones on the web too. Any thing over 90 in the waist is not a good carver at all. My deep powders are pigs I tend to slip out a bit on a turn when im on groomed. I have to lift my foot up and put it back into place. Heavy wet crap, dust on crust to deep powder those things will do the damage. plus at that price you can hunt untill you find something in a twin tip that isnt too pricy.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 F.T.s/Toque, Been lookin on the net now for some bindings and seems to be a good time, lots are out and prices are pretty good too. I got some Rossi 140 Freerides on my Launchers - what would be good bindings for those biga$$ hogs that Im gonna be floatin high through powpow on? Got any recommends?

Fattwins 0 Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 mmm what is your foot size again yuki? depends if you want to get into hiking if so the freerides are for you. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I would take the bindings off you launchers and put them on the fatties and then buy FR for the launchers. Wide brakes cost about 4000 yen Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 not a bad idea but it also depends on if you only want to use the skis for hiking in the middle of winter and in powder only. if your thinking about hitting stuff in the sping such as chutes and stuff with a skiff on corn snow then swap the bindings. This is where I like lines binding idea. you can transfer the bindings to any skis cause the holes are reinforced and are standard. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I got pow breaks on my launchers with my Rossis. So, take em off and then get some freerides for my launchers eh? Thanks for the tips Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Are you sure the pow brakes will be big enough. My store bought me pow brakes last year and then found out they were not big enough still and had to order another pair. Well in the backcountry you really don't want to be hauling those big things around. They are really heavy. Also in my mind if the snow is that deep to need a fatty then the getting in and out is going to be really hard with braking trails. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 check the width of your brakes yuki the mid must be 110mm. Link to post Share on other sites
