So work hard on getting better and better!

Travel to ski resorts that will make you a better skier.

Learn from others.

Soon there will be a "core" of skiers who like and respect each other's company. They will be willing to go beyound this nedium and share emails and real names! The anonymous fascade will melt slowly and perhaps then a "group" activity will be planned!

The seed is in the soil. Let it grow!

Mike,,
That is an event that is "unfolding",,,,the other huge event happened some years ago.

Not sure your age but you might have been,,,,,,,,,

Mike now you are giving a great clue,,but think even bigger!

Please think VERY BIG!!!

NO ..think HUGE!! Like a most important earth shattering event that shook major countries.....


What would get all sorts of skiers in North America to unite!

Bandit,

I checked my technical manuals for ski boots and found something "interesting" that I had never noticed before your comments!

I hope this will "clarify" the issue of women's flex index and men's flex index values! In essence you should not compare the two!

The range of a women's flex index is from 40-100

The range of a men's flex index is 60-150

It is clear then that a women's flex index of 40 (lowest) is "equivalent" to men's 60!


I will wroite to all ski boot compamies and see if I can get them to confirm this idea!

Will get back to you!

I promised NOT to give hints,,but I really do want to give away these gloves to a "worthy" skier so,,,,,

1. Item 1: angles and perspective is your entry
a symbol will appear, then a thought, and if you know Pavel's inclination it will help! If you took his course it will steer you in the right direction.


2. Item 2 : The "teeth" should tell you where to bite! If ever you had Tyrolia the answer is yours!

3.To be "ahead" of the wave of new ,,,,,,,,,,, is their goals.

4.Strength and rigidity comes in many forms!

5.There are many places where you can be in TWO places at once!


6.The man that can "tranfer" one successful process to another context will always be a great success!


7. What is the central concept in Gaussian theory?


8.What do they ask you when you rent skis or when you buy skis?



9.How can you go faster, sharper, longer?


10. This event made "men" out of boys! All who participated never forgot this event. In fact they still talk about it! They still make movies about it!


I hope this helps some skier!

Trencher,

So far you are the very best!

Great answers! Some I had to read three or four times since you were so close!!!!!!
I know for sure that you will say, " I knew that,,,damm of course that,,,,,,,, I use it every ski season and even sometimes 3-5 times a season", You living in USA will for sure "slap your forehead" and say, " yes yes I read about this in SKI and Skiing many times"!

Your score is 3/10 with a possible 5/10 since so many answers were so close!

Bandit,

I should have also "discussed" women's boots and the flex index range.

Just some background information if you do not mind Bandit. All relavant scales are based on; comparison sample groups ( like IQ scales) or specific standards ( like temp scales which are based on absolute zero)

If ever you want an example of "male oriented, narrow focussed topic,,it is this boot flex scale!

I asked a boot rep once if flex range is same for men and women! That is does 70 index equal same for men and women! I was told yes! Then I researched how companies arrive at these values!!!!! Seems to me that a force exerted by a male to get a male boot to flex 10 mm. is not the same force as a women flexing a women's boot 10 mm.

All this to say that I believe that women's flex index range should not be interpreted IN REFERENCE to men's!

I am meeting soon a great guru of ski safety and ski "mechanics" . He is Carl Ettlinger and I will ask him about this issue since it has relevance to all women!

My wife has a pair of Heads ( not women's boots) and I asked her to try some Head women boots that had same flex index! I asked her specifically about flex feel! (I had not told her about what Bandit brought up)! Her comments, "too soft" too much play!

Same boot company, same flex index,,,,different feel!

Great research project! I promise to follow up on this issue since I will be meeting boot reps soon!!!!

The saddest words to hear today,,,,,"he used to ski"

That is like;
he used to breath

he used to love

he used to,,,,,,,

Can not imagine, a "used to state"

Because you took the "plunge" and tried the questiohns,,at the end of this quizz Geordieski you will get sweet taste of victory!
People will beg you to tell secret! How you use it is up to you!
