J2Ski Forum Posts and Replies by bandit

How do regular Forum participants feel when someone joins J2ski just to pimp their stuff which is on ebay?

Are we being offered an opportunity, or is it just SPAM?

Should admin be offering free advertising space?

Your thoughts peeps :D

Edit: I've added a bit more detail to the title )

They are quite useful if needing to do sideslip tails 1st.

It's also fun to leave a rooster tail :twisted:

I don't think I have seen a bad review about a Scott ski yet.. even saw a few hardcore-local-types on the Scott Pure which looks like an interesting ski.

Er Ross.....it was AM, and he had his class with him. Wot u saying about Instructors then?

I tried out the extreme and suspect at the snowzone in glasgow but it's hard to tell on such a small slope. The suspects did seem to be a bit more lively and forgiving so was leaning towards them.

The other ski suggested in the Ellis shop there were the Scott Punishers.

2 many choices!!!!

I have some Scott Punishers, and I like them, though my stats are rather different than yours :D

If you go test some Punishers, go longer, they ski a bit on the short side, and they are quite a soft ski. I met a Scott sponsored skier in Zermatt in November, he said he can pick any ski from the range, and he chooses the Punishers.

I would suggest that you try before you buy. I'm not personally a big fan of the Triaxial Braiding that K2 use.
Also check out Movement Skis, they will be much lighter to use than the K2's.

Welcome to J2ski :D

Perhaps it's several courses )

David, suggest you also visit http://www.winterhighland.info/publicreports/index.php?21,2009-02-05 as Yad Moss and maybe other UK slope reports are posted there :D
