Re: THE GREATEST bindings debate on the planet (Official thr

I can't get it. Can You rephrase? Besides, I haven't tasted the tips of my skis mounted with NTN Freeride yet, having done a couple of unintentional front flips on 'em (mind You they're 192cm). No knee damage either. do you have a pin-type binding mounted on a ski? If so take a 75mm boot and lock i...

Re: THE GREATEST bindings debate on the planet (Official thr

Not at all..for example, If you force the whole boot down exactly how early and how much leverage there is against the binding depends to some extent on how the duckbill is ramped or "rockered".. and I would add that the duckbill's rocker is used as a lever for helping break the bellows ... Also if ...

Re: MissionRidgeBen'nJerryIMeanAaronandWilly!

I see your point, things are quieter with the bad boys silenced, but the forum thing has been dead for more than a little while, it started dying in the days preceding my final banning from TTips (aka Mitch's place), and it was finished well before Mitch took the big walk. I'd like to think it can ...

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread

I do not think NNN can be a viable option to my 3pin Cables under any circumstance other than skiing groomed Nordic trails, which is, of course , not what they are advertised to be designed for.. :lol: :lol: They are useless for tele turns ..even on a groomed nordic trail they simply tip you up on t...

Re: THE GREATEST bindings debate on the planet (Official thr

Uhhh, say what?
Rocker launch usually refers to the ramping upwards
of most (all to some extent) duckbills on 75mm boots.. :? :? :?
There are some advantages in that ramping..

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread

Well on a bigger ski (at least 85-65-75 or so) the NNN experience might be marginally better..At least you would not sink out of sight maybe..But I just cannot see how that floppy little plastic binding ever compares to pin offerings .. though I am sure parallels would be ok on a few inches of snow ...

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread

With ya Tman..Outtbounds, boundless, 10th mnts, Lite Terrains etc coupled with
pins (3pin cables for me) and stout leathers (or lite plastics :D ) are THE unchallenged
gear for XCD/bushwhacking that softer snow on mellower ground! :D

No Ben, it's a "sign" of the runaway censorship you and all the old Telemarktips cliques that

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread

The truth, just the truth..On our recent trip to Co. we did one day at a nordic center where I rented some NNN/"BC" boots and bindings.."Won't fit in the tracks," they said..but they did..Around this area in the pic I says to myself "BC huh ?" and stepped off into some nice light snow..sunk to my kn...
