You could have given us a perspective on the size of item #1.
And, yes, I am still alive! I have been trying to keep busy with other things so that I don't pine for the snow. :)
SKI Racing Glove Questions Are IN!!!! (sleepless nights are coming)
Login
Pavel... isn't it nice to see everyone excited because of your quiz!
To answer a couple of your unrelated questions ...
My shotgun is missing so I must offer a one (as per the rules of engagement)shot blast as close to the target(s) .. all 10 at once... as I can. No wonder the nights are sleepless. - so I am contemplating my reply very carefully.
It is all in the flex due to structural alignment of the longitudinal fibers of the materials. That is to say the "softer" the ski the more radical the curve we can induce with applied pressure and therefore the fun whipping sensation of the carve. One of those magic numbers we should know which you listed. Another was our boot's sole length ... but I must put this in my final one time answer.
Don't be concerned Jan ... I am in the wings or maybe on the "wings of a dove" or whatever.
Has anyone else noticed that this quiz is one of Pavel's toughest quizzes?? Or maybe I am just in the lowest part of the non-snowy part of the ski season. :roll:
Just think how much learning we are all doing with this one :!:
That first picture isn't a Lego reject?? Or maybe a drill bit holder for the different screw sizes where a starter hole need be drilled.
Mike :wink:
Care to explain that one, Pav? Phase 4 meaning......? Dangerous......why? 2009 will show me........what?
Now he's got you worried :twisted:
Sorry Pav, I'm missing something - doesn't 9 out of 10 of those symptoms make you completely normal? :evil:
Hmmm "friends that do not ski"... er... I seem to have an empty list here... 8)

Dshenberger,
Ha so nice to see "lost" skiers coming out!!!!
Yes size might help, so I did measure this item 1!
For you Americans that have not yet joined the world with metric measurements,,it is 3" x 2"
For the rest of the world; 6cm. x 5 cm.
Perhaps the form of the item might help some of you!

Tony,
Are you aware of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" produced by the APA?
It is a reference manual for all psychiatrists and psycholofist in trying to find the causes of mental problems!
In the Substance and Dependence section there are many "addictive" substances which I am sure you all know! Now there is a NEW section dealing with SKIING and the skiing addict!
Seems some bright psychologist has been reading various ski sites and determined that it is an addiction! ( as if we did not know that)!
Well serious work has been done in "folowing" the progress of this unique addiction! Seems it is more powerful than LSD, caffeine, Nicotine and yes Cannabis! It becomes a life long addiction
Tony if you have a chance read in "Abnormal Psychology" by David S. Holmes on page 463 there is a chart which relates personality types and addiction such as skiing.
Phase 4 is the phase which you are entering!
Do you;
plan your ski holidays in July
visit every ski shop as you travel
try to buy that 6th pair of skis
have long long dreams about skiing and wake up in a sweat
consider changing jobs so that you have more time skiing
wear you ski gloves while raking leaves,,just to "break in" gloves once you have spread non-toxic, animal friendly cream
begin wearning your ski boots in August
begin to make a list of friends that ski and that do not ski
think of buying a car with folding back seat for extra skis
If you have at least 9/10 symptoms,,,
