Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 This is much more stimulating than that moldy cheese, mountains, skiing, and other crap youve posted Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 That is really nice and way more stimulating. Although at work I'm not looking for that kind of stimulation. But this is Japan right and there has to be a policy for teacher student lovin. I saw Naxo's in tokyo for 3 mon. FR for 4. From ICI sports or whatever it's called. Chain store with a place in Matsumoto. I will be buying them pretty soon. Probably just pick them up in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Dude I would stay away from naxos. The rep says dont bang em together and youll be ok (they wont break).of course youll bang em together this is sking. This years models say that they are beefed up but dont take em out in the cold. whats that is a winter sport. Right now the naxos are a good concept but they need more work. I didnt think that you could use those skis toque, they will perform the same as your 106s. Also I know your not a big twintip skier. I bought them for the price, the skin clips and the fact that I get a big mountain twin for a few of the lines that I have been eyeing. My big ass fatties will do the job but I wanted a ski I could mach away from from danger. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yuki I like it but in my all female workplace I got scroll down in a flash cause it looks like porn. " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Ah oh well, I tried Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Yah the Naxos are a cool concept. Especially cause the toe piece is based on a real alpine toe. But they are new. I will probably shell out the extra mon and get the FR just cause it's proven. I really want to look at her. But like Fattwins have to scroll down super quick. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I will get your parents to order them cause they will go fast. at 250 US Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I hate telling my parents to buy me things. They never understand and always end up lecturing me about stuff. Why do you need another pair of skis? What wrong with the 2 pairs that you left in our storage room? Are you sure your drinking isn't a bad thing? Do you really need a car to get to the ski hills? Freakin hell. I'm 25 already. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Ill order them for ya for a 25% surcharge Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 My pops is great but I did leave him with 15000 to play with when I want stuff. Plus my grandpa gives me 1000 every year so its easy to ask. anyways ill shoot the link up. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Lucky lucky lucky You left 15,000 cdn???? That's a lot of money. Things I could do with that kind of money. Pay off loans. Pay off loans. And then I'd pay off my loans. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Toque sorry been lurking and writing something. Staying out of the AET thing cause hell that is a bag of worms. Looks like my deal fell through though. I will know more details soon. I think that the shop had a run on them skis. About my money I was lucky and umped a lot of Softball right after college. made 500 a week for 5 monthes every summer on top of my day job. when you go from one job to another you have no time to spend your money. If you get back to Canada its a sure fire way to stay in shape and make some extra cash. Slowpitch umping mate. pay was 100 for 4.5 hours cash. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 That's sounds like a hella good way to make money. Yes that AET and Fat Kids topic is a can or worms. But I am having a good time with the FatKids one at least. I saw your topic in TGR on the FR/Naxos - What did you learn from searching all the past topics? From going to Lou Dawsans site I found that the new 04/05 model seems to be pretty good. Troube telling the difference though between the 03/04 and 04/05 model. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 From what I have read as well is that if there are any problems with both the FR and Naxo all have been taken care of by the shop or BD/Backcountry Access Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Just that too many people snapped too many naxos. about 20 or 30 on TGR snapped the things. I figure I ski much the same as most of those guys so I will snap em too. Also Naxo says not to bang em togother or they might break! dude when you are sking you are sometimes gonna bang em together so that means they still havent sorted it out. give it another year or 2 and they will be in the game. its like the line binders a great concept but still a work in progress. having one binding that you can switch from ski to ski is prefect. if they ever sort it I will buy lines.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 ahhhh, 3 open classes down and one more to go. My Chu 1 kids are really noisy today... I dont mind having teachers, admin, or anyone else watch me teach but it always affects the students when the A.V. department comes in and records my lessons. Cameras have an unusual effect on students... sorry bout the pic FT - Im sure your female coworkers can appreciate that we dont ALWAYS discuss skiing - surely we can find other things to chat about hijacked thread, my bad Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 yuki your avatar is gone? yeah the teachers were ok. They commented on the oopai-ness of the girl. I think they said bii yon, cant remember. Toque it looks like my skis be coming after all, smiles here. but The regular diamirs I bought for my wife at a steal of 25000 yen were canceled due to inventory mess up. They agreed to give me 10% off of the freerides, but that aint enough cause my wife doesnt need freerides. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yup, time for a new pic! Will have ta dig around on the net. Lemme see bout Sat. F.T. My back/neck is getting better but it maybe too strenuous on my old back Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Don't worry about the bindings FT. I want to get a medium incase I get a lower volume boot in the future. I am pretty much just on the border between L and M. Thanks for the offer though. That was a super good deal. Are the diamirs you are getting for your wife DIN rated? Are they legal for the slopes?

Fattwins 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Im going to buy her the freerides cause they come with brakes 86mms she has 90mm skis so if I bend em or shave them they will be fine. I was thinking the same thing as you if you go large and your next boot is small your fuccked Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 I also ready somewhere that getting the smaller size is better for the performance as well. With the bar not being as long or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yeah i would never get a binding that was that close to being the wrong size 4mms is just nothing. Cant wait to get on the water tomorrow would be prefect. due I feel a cold coming on Link to post Share on other sites
