The SX 7 has been revamped for 2008 with the PowerPuls system. A favourite with the sporty intermediate for many a year the SX 7 is once again a lively and exciting ski for its price point that is great fun and exhilirating for a ski of this level. Even expert skiers, although you will find it quite soft, are surprised by the agility, carve and poise of what is essentially an intermediate ski. If you are looking for your first pair of skis and want something with a little get up and go then the SX7’‘s are fantastic.
Light, grippy, easy to use and a sporty intermediates dream ski

Bandit, you have taken me slightly out of context, in that you missed out the initial part. There have been a number of video posters from inters, but, among the more experienced skiers, I list only one poster. I think it does take courage to post a video that displays your ability, and is there to be openly criticised.

I don't quite see why anyone is obliged to post videos of themselves or that those who don't lack courage.

I think a lot of people provide a lot of useful information as well.

Ise, it seems as if there's a chip on your shoulder.

I don't think there was any suggestion of an obligation in Dave Mac's post, nor did he imply that those who didn't post videos were without courage. I don't think it should be a particularly contentious point that putting a video of your own technique up to public scrutiny (on the internet of all places!) requires some courage, but that's certainly not to say that those who don't are cowards! They may have all the courage in the world but no desire to share such things.

I'd certainly agree that there is a not insignificant contingent of people providing plenty of useful information on here, and I hope they all continue to contribute freely.

Trencher adds so much knowledge and quality to J2ski. I know we get a range of views on different issues, lots of newbies, lots of mid-skiers, a few "experts", even less "ancients", (that's me and two others :oops

Trencher has his strongly individual way of viewing skiing, and is not afraid to challenge other views. Sad to say, one or two people respond in an entirely personal way. That is negative, and sometimes hostile. I don't see why we cannot accomodate all views, in a positive way.

Among the most experieced skiers on J2. who else has the courage to put videos of their skiing & boarding out to the public? Who else provides as much technical technique info?

C'mon Trencher, get back to the fold.
