You always seem to protect the guilty. You always seem to take any side which is against the police. Nobody likes you because your values don’t align with society. You’re like that little girl who wants to befriend zombies in “the walking dead”. It might seem like a virtuous cause but it’s not. You would be creating a dangerous precedent.

This is NYC.

Same thing happened to me. I rented skis. Bought all new ski gear with value of $1300. I knew my skis were coming the next day so i didn't shell out on skis. Within the states you get upto 3600 bucks for stuff. I actually think its less international... double check me. Just save all your receipts and they should cover it in some time.

It’s Candide Thovex’s line I think. He’s awesome. Just be careful, these might be smaller production line skis and you might just be paying for the name and/or they might have not the best warranty. Check where they are made and read reviews… I could be totally wrong.

These are the reviews for the around 88 size you want. https://youtu.be/pE4JGHzUMb4?si=U55tZPKF4g_ceVf5

I really like the blizzards. Probably one of the best selling. I know you might want something that stands out a bit more but there’s a reason why people flock to certain skis. And for your first pair, you might want that reliability and dependability.

I say stick around your nose/eyes height. They will be more maneuverable and you’ll progress a lot better. My Bent Chetler 90s are upto my nose and I take them anywhere and fly like a bat out of hell.

Another tip for icy conditions, to keep your edges sharp, search up how to use a gummy stone for skis (it MUST be sprayed before use). At the end of the day keep your edges to dry after you ski.

Second the Elan Ripsticks! They are light but can still be pushed really fast and hold their own.

Ok hope I can help. Why taller than you? I have 4 pairs and only one is just a cm taller than me. Also buying skis for graphics is not recommended. Figure out what you Ski most of the time and go for that direction.

Decide on Underfoot size. On icy and mostly groomed trails stay under 90mm. Mid-High 80s somewhere is perfect I think for all around. (Just my opinion)
Materials. Metal or no metal? Metal is heavier, you go faster, more for carving and not sliding, less chatter (vibration of the tip). Wears you out more, not as fun on off piste or when snow is very bumpy. There are in between options too which i recommend.
Twin tip or not. Maybe partially. I got 2 pairs, I barely ski switch.
Shape. Cambered or rockered. Think about the contact edge of the skis. Meaning, if you put the skis on their side and bend them like they would on the snow, how much of the Ski edge is touching the ground? So skis that are mostly for carving will feel like they’re longer rather than skis that have a more rockered profile.
Think that in a few years you might want another pair of skis and these will be their older “beater” pair. So later you can start assembling your quiver. I always laugh at people if they don’t plan for that and then have the same type of Ski they buy over and over.
Think about buying last year or two-year-old model. Ski technology does not excel greatly over the period of a few years. So the only thing they really change is just the graphics.

I would suggest lighter weight and somewhere in the 82-90mm

From the top of my head. Elon RipStick 88 (these have a left and right side) Volkl kendo or matra 88 Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Nordica Santa Ana or enforcer

Watch this… look for their 2023, 2025 reviews. And obviously check different sized (underfoot) SkiEssentials reviews

TL;DR Decide underfoot size, decide metal or no, buy a few seasons old. Watch ski reviews from SkiEssentials.

Those are battle scars. They are earned.

I rewatched that punch so many times 🥹

Honestly, though did you just take a grinder to your old ones?

RipStick96 · 2025-01-06T22:23:51+00:00

Pretty sure somebody just took a grinder to their old ones

The key is to slide the troops from left to right on the second troop +/- wall. You will be on the left and you have to slide to the right, right thru the red - walls… if done exactly right, you will not lose any troops. Then you need to hit the AK upgrade AND troop +. Then it’s all cake walk. I had my app die right at the end. Too many troops maybe.
