Have fun with the journey.
I AM taking it seriously, I just take no offence because you are absolutely right, as you were absolutely right last season when I was bitching and moaning about how I am unable to find the fore/aft balance on my SL ski blaming it on them being too short (160) cm and you pointed out it was the driver, not the car to blame.
This season I start when I left off the last one with SL skis struggle..
But this one is a bit better because when I know I cant blame it on the gear, it is me where the issue lies.
For example, the SL skis punish instantly back seating, mine shoot under me like crazy in the more severe cases leaving me on my ass in the snow, puzzled and embarrassed.
It gets even worse when the snow gets softer and uneven with dips, moguls, ridges etc. I get pushed, pulled, thrown off balance on the SL skis, get tired and frustrated and cry for mum.
In stark contrast, the Stormriders absolutely do not care what the terrain is. Dips? What dips? Moguls? I see no bloody moguls. They just glide over and plough through everything. And they can be driven not just from the backseat but from the boot if you so wish. I can carve, smear, skid, pivot turn and they just keep going.
But I will keep practicing on the SL skis in the morning, the more difficult and challenging, the better I will get...eventually....after some time....but it is not like we are in a hurry, are we? No pressure.
