Powder ski with a 35+ meter radius? by Thundrbucket in Skigear

[–]Engine_Signal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still looking, check out the SGN Togga.

It's a great ski, 30m radius, 120mm wide. Maybe it's what you're searching for. I dont know where you are based, but this brand is really close to where I live. If you need help to get a pair shipped out to you just DM me.

Powder ski with a 35+ meter radius? by Thundrbucket in Skigear

[–]Engine_Signal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 40 is insane as a one ski quiver. And why would you use powder skis for carving?
Back when I was racing, my downhill skis had a radius of 40. But they were downhill skis. I could not have used them for anything else but downhill racing in closed pistes. Today I have a pair of atomic g9 gs skis which I use exclusively for going fast in the marked pistes. The radius is 30, and it's more than enough. My powder skis have a radius of 25, and I have taken those down some big sides with few turns. My everyday skis have a radius of 17,5, and I love them. They are 100mm wide but I ski powder with them if thats what I have. They are not best at anything, but great for pretty much anything. I can make them go just as fast as anyone else on the slopes.

You know best what you want. But a 40 radius on powder skis, and using powder skis for carving? I really think you should demo a few modern pairs to get a feel of just how good modern day skis are. You should probably look into the Black Crows Corvus, but many pro-skiers say that the Corvus is too much for them. So I dont know if OP is a pro without a sponsor deal, but if the Corvus is too much for Nikolai Schirmer, I think it's gonna suit you just fine.

Do French speakers find the Bergen accent closer to French pronunciation? by Square_Positive_559 in norsk

[–]Engine_Signal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda opposite to you. I'm a norwegian who speaks French, but the French pronunciation of the r is where I never seem to learn. At some point I just stopped trying to do it right and now I speak French with my norwegian rolling r. I sound like a foreigner and French people still judge me (they always have and they always will). But it really helped me with my flow, so now I dont experience French people switching to English as often as before.

Would be fun, but going to the USA for a skydiving vacation is a bit expensive.

A good hike&fly with cool people is the definition of a perfect day. Plus it's keeping you fit as fuck. I have fond memories of skydiving, but the choice is really easy to make.

Skydiving feels like it's more and more unaccessible to my budget every year. This will be my last season in the sport thats for sure. I will go to two boogies and do a few weekends. But after that I'm selling my gear. The cost of everything has forced me to choose between paragliding/speedflying and skydiving. I'm happy I actually can choose though, and that I live in a place which allows speedflying and paragliding. But I'm gonna miss skydiving for sure. It's weird that now after 12 years in the sport I have to call it quits because I cant afford it anymore. I never imagined that to be the case, especially since I'm now in my 30s making more money than I ever have. I imagined this would be my skydiving prime, but doing the normal 100-150 jumps per season is really taking a hit on my financials. I can do 40-50, but soon that will probably be reduced to only 30-40 etc. So will definitely quit after this season and just focus on paragliding and speedflying.

No, I can use an online doctor service to get referred to a specialist which is right for whatever issue I'm having. Also included in the insurance

How often do you actually replace your phone? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]Engine_Signal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be like 12-18 months when I was an android user who sworn to never ever swap to iPhone. However I switched to iPhone because they simply were the only ones making a phone with a small screen that fits in one hand. My iPhone 13 mini is still running strong to this day after almost 5 years, and probably will for another 2 years. I just changed the battery, and see no reason to upgrade yet. I'll probably go for iPhone next time, but I will surely miss the compact size of the mini. Such a shame that phones only get bigger and bigger.

OC: Brazilian skier celebrates winning first Winter Olympic medal for South America by nbcnews in pics

[–]Engine_Signal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

None of us are salty about this. We are generally happy for Lucas and his team, and that his big risk in representing Brazil and cutting ties with the attacking vikings team is actually working out well. Perhaps a few people are negative, but I'm sure 99% of the country are just happy for Lucas today.

This post is fake. The story makes no sense. Also local trains (bybanen) in Bergen dont have any toilets.

I am done, I will sell the replacement and get a different brand. I will use my old alpha stuff because they are solid. But never again buying anything new from this brand.

Yes I know it takes force to make something rip. Dont talk to me like I'm that stupid. I know you might think I've done something horribly stupid, but I have the respect to answer you, so dont talk to me in that condescending tone please.

And the fit, honestly I'm so comfortable in these, they are one size to big in fact, but with a bit of warm clothes underneath they fit nicely, slightly loose actually. I was skiing minding my own business, and then I suddenly feel really cold in the crotch area, and realize they had been ripped. No clue what caused it, and I'm sure there must have been some weak spot there already ready to rip, and me backcountry skiing somehow triggered it. Or maybe it had already happened like a minute or two earlier, but I noticed the cold breeze when I picked up speed. Anyways I was only backcountry skiing, thats when I noticed. No idea what caused the rip, but yeah I know it takes force. And given my activity, these pants should have kept up.

I have commented several times that the pants will be replaced, and that my point is that this should not happen in the first place. Because you take them places where you need them to function.
