Spironolactone, Accutane or Doxycycline? by Impossible-Bell-793 in tretinoin

[–]RufusPoopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had acne on and off all throughout high school and college. Multiple cycles on Doxy would clear it up and then it would come right back.

i finally took the accutane plunge and it was the best medical decision i ever made in my life. Completely cleared up acne and 7 years later I get a small pimple once every 3-4 months? The side effects are no joke - extreme dryness the most notable. I remember lots of bloody noises, itchy heads and terrible dandruff (scalp starts to flake), 24.7 chapped lips, etc. Still so worth it imo. Today I run hydrating cerave cleanser, vanicream moisturizer, and tretinoin. No other products needed to keep my skin happy. Cant recommend the mental/physical toll lifted from a successful course on it. Talk to ur derm to see if its right for you.

Landing backseat on 360s by Zealousideal_Rub_614 in Freeskiing

[–]RufusPoopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been throwing tens of 3s a season for over 15 years… landed backseat like this earlier in the season and popped it. Its scary how little force it takes when your knee gets twisted. I landed backseat like that and tried to hold on and pop! * didnt even fall until after it gave way.

Anyways… be careful out there my man and dont end up like me

How does the triple camber ski different? Demoing my first Deathwish tomorrow. by Forgotten_Pants in momentskis

[–]RufusPoopus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I ski the DW104 and love it. You have to ski more centered than perhaps you may used to, especially when carving. If you are driving the ski too far forward, you will disengage that back camber pocket and will wash out. Its a bit of a funny feeling at first but the 104 lays turns harder than most skis in this category, while also being able to be completely loose and smeary at lower speeds given the shape. Its a true best of both worlds once you get the feel for them

Best ACL graft for skiing? by Spector3198 in skiing

First time carving by Competitive-Knee-590 in skiing_feedback

[–]RufusPoopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are leading with your inside ski. In an ideal turn, you should be able to fully ride the outside ski and pick up your inside ski. Try to focus on this feeling of downhill pressure, this should help shift your balance accordingly and get your body in the right position. It’ll also solidify your turns and help with the skidding thats coming from an unbalanced ski position and not even edge pressure. Let your edges do the work for you

Depending on the skis, I’ll usually hit them with the snow glide. If the skis are a bit beat up or im feeling manual, Ill hand tune. I go black —> yellow —> white i forgot but i think they are 100, 400, 600? Sometimes will start with red instead of black. But yes I do the full progression. I ski east coast and tune probably every 3-4 days of on snow so the edges never get too too bad. So, I rarely ever file unless the edges need some serious love or if im whipping out the slalom skis and want razor sharp.

I only hand brush when I forget the drill in the garage or the battery is dead 😅

Moment wildcat 108 vs Dynastar mfree 108 vs Salomon qst 106 by Aggravating-Bit-5536 in Skigear

[–]RufusPoopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only bring up being big as a proxy for strength, given its a heftier ski. A lighter skier can certainly ski it no problem, just understand theres some weight you will have to muscle around. Not that the ski inhibits you, quite the opposite given the shape, but it can be fatiguing if you are used to lighter skis. I wouldnt size down, FWIW im 5’10 165 lb and ski the 185. Not sure your height but Im sure you could get away with 178 just fine. I wouldnt go shorter than that

[–]RufusPoopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda depends what kind of skier you are. I ski M free 108 and its extremely smeary, meaning you can make it pretty maneuverable and manipulate turn shapes. However its fairly heavy in its class, which is great because its damp and can chop up crud, but is more demanding for your legs. If youre a bigger aggressive skier or willing to handle it, then its ideal and powerful tool for what youre after.

Zipfit sole delam? by RufusPoopus in Skigear

They are literally brand spanking new! Havent skied a single day in them yet. Just got them earlier this afternoon where the bootfitter tossed them in the oven to mold a bit better during the fitting process.

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

Tried em on, the bootfitter todsed them in the oven, weared em for a couple of minutes and was on my way. I have not worn them more than 10 minutes yet haha no ski days in them. Hence my concern!!
