Trust Ski Manufacturers' Flex Rating
|
| |
I've had a few people want to flex test some Fischer Carbonlite's I'm selling, in spite of the fact that Fischer gives a specific flex point. Just curious if anyone has experience with the manufacturer's numbers being off?

In awe : Adidas Skating Pro
|
| |
Just got these in, off UK eBay. Agreeable shipping costs to the mainland. For the boots alone, I paid roughly 1/4th of the MSRP some odd sizes still to be had. They seem like an Adidas take on the RS Carbons. More refined than the 2008 RS Carbons. Tall cuff is what I notice. Like 3cm taller than the... more »

Tour de Ski

We're missing a Tour de Ski thread. First off, many many thanks to our hero, BasilBrush! Excellent quality videos. Some of the videos on the Tour de Ski site are also interesting too, if you can get them to work (today most wouldn't for me in XP). Two races in and Northug has sure got the afterburners glowing.

Spare Yoko pole
|
| |
Happy New Year. I lost a Yoko carbon fibre ski pole a few years ago (left it at an aid station after breaking the handle in a race), and just found its partner in my basement...
