I treasure my memories of flatboarding on my first pair of skis. Of course, that was TRUE flatboarding, with the skis locked a constant distance apart, rigidly parallel in the same plane -- not the false flatboarding advocated today. (They were toy skis, all wood, no sidecut, useless for skiing, but excellent runners for a homemade luge. Ah, THAT was flatboarding.) -- Bill Griffiths "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no such thing as justice." Hobbes |

In article .com, Armin says... Bob Lee wrote: But "a locked-heel telemark binding" and "Lal's fat skis" are still oxymorons, right? Bob No, wrong. A "locked-heel telemark binding" would be a "technological advancement". ;-) I guess that would be called AT Gear. Not everything needs "technological advancement" though like beer or Scotch...or telemark technique. I was skiing with a 10th Mountain Div guy who was in one of the last brigades (the ones trained as soldiers first and then sent to Colorado to learn to ski in 6 weeks - opposite to those we usually hear about) the other day - we got to comparing gear we learned on; my Dad had bought some 10th Div surplus for me to learn on 10 years after this guy, so it turned out we actually learned to ski on the same equipment; But back to the point. He talked about the innovative idea of screwing cable hold down hooks to the side wall near the toe AND A SECOND PAIR near the heel - he just had to move the cable from the front hold down pair to the back pair to go from telemark rig to alpine rig. Talk about neat ideas - you guys might like to reinvent the wheel here and recreate this wonderous "technological advancement." (P.S. my surplus skis were already set up with two pairs of cable hold downs; without someone to guide me, I never moved the cable to the front pair and tried tele. Who knows how things would have developed if I had?) |

It was I preventing weather from blessing your locale. I gotta have a chat with Ullr about reversing the effect - IMO snow should follow me, not avoid me. Maybe if I brought Skadi a nice parfume? |

snip the usual yunglong stupid **** Here's the problem: Slush is heavy, wet, and mushy - powder is dry, light, and fluffy. You cannot have something that is dry, wet, light, heavy, fluffy. and mushy at the same time. Yes, those conditions are always existed in a powder field at the end of day. I tried to be simple and go slowly, tell me where I lost you. And I tried to tell you that your narrow[-minded] definitions have prevented you to see things broader. IS Once again, yunlong, you have proven your ignorance and stupidity publically. Aren't you ashamed to make yourself a fool and expose your lack of intelligence and common sense to these members of rsa? Don't you have a shred of conscience to prevent you from posted utter bull****? Don't you have enough self-respect to allow yourself to learn from others? Don't you have enough of a sense of truth to admit to others and yourself when you have spoken out of turn once again? I would expect such public displays of silliness from a child, not an adult. It was a pleasure not hearing from you for a while. Please stop vomiting the drivel you are famous for. RAC |

"Armin" wrote in news:1111176111.832992.267010 @f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: PS- Some of my best friends are pinheads... but i don't hold it against them. ;-) How 'bout cable jockies? There you Pinheads go getting technical again! Same thing. I use Pindead as a generic term for someone using any type of Tele binding. Pins without cables, cables without pins or cables with pins... they are all Pinheads. Actually, I haven't seen anyone using tele bindings without cables for quite a while. However, I do still have a pair of Kharu Extremes in my basement, mounted with a pair of Voile 3-pin bindings. It's been a number of years since they've seen daylight. I'd be willing to part with them. Any offers? A. |

Wow, these guys are everywhere. I didn't think there were many left? Where did you ski w/ this 10th guy? We have one here in Kamas too. There are still a few left. My first wife's father was one, now dead. I think Joe Jones in Rutland is still alive. I don't know if Bill Robichaud was in the 10th, he's old enough and he skied with Minnie Dole, but I never asked him if he was in the 10th. He talked about the innovative idea of screwing cable hold down hooks to the side wall near the toe AND A SECOND PAIR near the heel - he just had to move the cable from the front hold down pair to the back pair to go from telemark rig to alpine rig.

(P.S. my surplus skis were already set up with two pairs of cable hold downs; without someone to guide me, I never moved the cable to the front pair and tried tele. Who knows how things would have developed if I had?) Military surplus bindings from Ramer are available online brand new for about ten bucks. The toe piece has no release but can accomodate almost any boot you might like to put into it including plastic mountaineering boots. It's a cable binding with a front throw and has a release like a Dovre cable of the 50's and 60's. Two sets of low hitches with the rear ones arranged so that you can free or fix your heel. Rugged enough so you can tele with your heel free without worrying about breaking your bindings. Point being that almost anything you can think of in ski bindings is already available. Yeabut, pinhead/cableheads *like* the telemark binding...why lock it down? Free yer heel, free yer wallet and all that jazz. 'Had you switched to tele in the olden days, you'd now be getting bashed by Armin, BD and other AT ilk. Wonderful skiing yesterday, but it was a little spooky. The only ATer we saw was a patroller, oh and one knuckledragger, otherwise the BC was empty. Well, it was dumping all day though. -K |
