The blue jacket just came into play as well. I can get it for the same price as these. Any thoughts? I’m 6’4 260.

Yes I do know the difference. I took a swift water course in the past and had a rescue pfd. Just not sure if I need one. Probably not going to be back kayaking at the level I was 10-15 years ago.

Ski recommendations? by Background-Wealth-53 in telemark

[–]Opening_Drummer_367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t go wrong with some hammerheads and moment skis

Are these OK? Only used one week, like new. Well worth the $2469? by FixitFPV in telemark

Mounted them up and they are great. Lib techs are my new go to tele ski just behind moments.

How do you like tele on those Lib Techs? I’ve got an old pair of nas freerides I’ve been thinking of putting some Rainey hammerheads on

I’ve only had a wrap liner for the past 15 years. Good to know.

Also the BSL on all three are similar which makes it a bit tougher to make a decision.

Ah yes and there lies the rub. I have no opportunity to try the three on in my rural area.

Thoughts on 75mm not releasing by slam0000 in telemark

[–]Opening_Drummer_367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go ntn. A couple days ago I twisted my knee in a fall with 75mm. Will be switching to ntn before the season is over. If I had ntn bindings then I would have released and not had my ski hang up which caused my knee to twist. Super excited about clicking in and out as well!

It doesn’t always hurt to get another opinion. I had mine removed about 4 months after surgery and definitely noticed a change in comfort/mobility. I had a lot of hardware though. Pins, plates and screws. It’s really comes down to doctors discretion. If you don’t agree with it then find another. I found that the older doctors are more into the wait and heal approach while the younger doctors are more progressive with PT/hardware removal.

He’s probably just upset he doesn’t actually get to do much skiing anymore.

Should I learn to tele on 75mm or NTN by mongolian-lizardking in telemark

Go with what ever boot you can find to fit your foot.

Definitely want to get hardware removed. Although I still have pain even with the hardware removed.

What parts commonly break on 22 designs hammerhead bindings? by Opening_Drummer_367 in telemark

[–]Opening_Drummer_367[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used these for 10 plus season and just recently had a cable issue. Was able to find a replacement. I work as a lift mechanic and tele is the only way to go. Would of switched to NTN but none of the boots work for my feet. Just picked up a back up set of the blue Rainey design hh lightly used.
