Re: Last Year’s and this Year’s Grip Wax Experiments

motel 1.5 I am glad Woodserson dug this thread up. I really need to say thank you! The Oslo Violet is just a fantastic addition to my wax kit, and will be for some time I believe. I plan on trying the red version next season. Woods, thank you for finding this thread. I’m glad I was able to post a t...

Re: Åsnes NOSI 76 Ski Review

NOSI 76.jpg Woooah guys... I simply can't believe that after one year I'm the only one here in love with the NOSI 76! This is Telemark Talk, I cannot let this happen...

Re: 2022 Falketind 62 Xplore 196 cm First Impressions

Gareth, again it’s the camber and longitudinal stiffness that changes everything. The rocker is about the same between the original FT and the FT X. The difference is the FT X is completely supportive. In soft snow the ski bends in a very supportive arc. The longitudinal stiffness goes right to the ...

@Nitram Tocrut Martin, such a beautiful place! It sure looks like you had fun! I forgot you had a Rabb, it looks like it suits you. How long is your Rabb? Boots / bindings?

Re: BCX TRANSNORDIC 75 waterproof

wabene the ST matches up to a thinner duckbill like my thermomolded Alaska 75. When the ST / cable first arrived I didn’t think I liked the cable. Now after using it, I would use it on any ski I wasn’t planning on skiing in plastic the majority of the time. The hardwires on the cable squeeze tight ...

I almost forgot, @Nitram Tocrut , once the deep snows come, and you decide to rip down your neighbor’s hills, you will need a pair of FT X! ;)

Re: BCX TRANSNORDIC 75 waterproof

Yes these boots are great. I switched from NNN-BC to 75mm bindings to be able to use a wider variety of more supportive boots and I end up liking most this boot which, ironically also exists in NNN-BC, and the Crispi Bre which is very comfortable but not really more torsionally stiff than the Steti...

Re: 2022 Falketind 62 Xplore 196 cm First Impressions

Gareth, As it relates to downhill performance the difference in longitudinal stiffness is the difference. I could not as of yet perceive the difference in torsional stiffness, although I am all fit torsional improvements. The knife cuts both ways when it comes to being stiffer and more supportive in...

2022 Falketind 62 Xplore 196 cm First Impressions

Hello, this is to report my first impressions of the 2022 Asnes Falketind Xplore 196 cm ski. I’m not a good poker player, people tend to see where I’m coming from. It’s actually one of my greatest strengths, people tend to trust my honest opinions. However people can also see my enthusiasm, despite ...
