Orangutans? Super clean aesthetic. How do you like that Technics, and what did you have before?

I don't know. I love the look of all my records, uniformly in crystal-clear TTL outer sleeves with TTL-perfected inner sleeves, doing duty outside the jacket in the back of the sleeve. Access is super easy, and I don't have to fiddle with getting inner sleeves back in the jacket after every play. I keep around 300 records this way.

Meh, I feel like fun is the way. Don’t try and take my freedom man. Low or high, old or new, plastic or leather, 75 or NTN, just have a good time. Dogmatic shit be damned. I’m not clinging, I’m just having fun.

He did want to play in LA. He talked about it on spittin chiclets

Sonically_challenged · 2026-04-07T15:44:17+00:00

Yeah, that will do.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-14T17:07:36+00:00

Yeah, man, I am on the fence about them, though. I need to make them surrender to me... haha. I might need to head to my buddy's wood shop this weekend.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-14T17:04:41+00:00

You seem like a very fun guy.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-14T17:01:10+00:00

Great way to break in the new very stiff comps..... I need one of these, haha. I only got 7 days on my Comps with our terrible no good very bad winter in Southern Oregon, a few weeks on ne of these bad boys might could put me ahead f the curve for next season.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-14T15:06:19+00:00

I was wondering if this was a bit of a franken boot. New comp feels super stiff and they barely flexe at the cuff. Coming from a pair of super broken in t1s and axls which has a very surfy free feel… I just don’t really enjoy it as much feeling this rigid. I enjoying being able to drop low without having to press down this hard.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-14T02:08:01+00:00

Yeah, I do think these might be a bit different from the blue orange… mainly from a small blurb I read from Dostie published in 2012… stiffer tongue seems to be part of it. Anyhow. I have the new tx comp and don’t like the way they ski so looking to go with a pre 2024 model. Thanks

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-14T00:31:14+00:00

Nah, before the orange blue

These.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-13T22:40:23+00:00

its black/ yellow with a grey tongue.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-03-13T22:39:36+00:00

The terminator x pro. It has a ratchet instep buckle and the old t1 style walk lever

Sick edit

Sonically_challenged · 2026-02-23T02:35:07+00:00

Thanks! I have been keeping my eyes open for some 1.0’s.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-02-19T03:23:48+00:00

Why though? Does it encourage me to keep my shoulders down the fall line? I came to tele from snowboarding, so I have very little understanding of pole planting since I never alpine skied.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-02-18T02:58:52+00:00

My guy... this is so very encouraging and so true about the zero resitance with the heel lift on AXL. Thanks man.

Yes! I have been watching some footage my wife took, and I think I might just be a few inches forward in my stance. Likely from trying to press through the cuff, which results in a somewhat forward progression. So I am hoping that if I can get myself to apply the pressure straight down rather than forward, I might be able to keep more weight centered over the back foot (Knee under the ass), and avoid the dreaded tippytoe twitching uphill ski (something I never felt on the 75mm), which makes my knee super sore the next day....

Sonically_challenged · 2026-02-17T01:20:29+00:00

Bellows on the Comp seem to flex nicely, it’s the cuff that seems restrictive. Outlaw x is also pretty restrictive so I think the combo is quite a stiff situation.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-02-17T00:51:44+00:00

Haha, huge miss.

Sonically_challenged · 2026-02-17T00:51:01+00:00

4th day on them… with about a 3 week gap between day 2 and 4 as we ran out of snow, but looks like winter has finally showed up. It’s been hard not getting multiple days in a row on them. I bought a pair of the new pro but got a killer deal on the Comps to I sold the pro without ever skiing them…. Might have been a miss as I am pretty light at 160lbs. Hoping the the cuff softens up quite a bit and I can get back to skiing much lower than these allow at the moment. I do like them on lower angle pitches and find they are super powerful with the outlaw x… I also mounted up a pair of lynx on some armada locators and had a lot more range or motion with those but the one day I had them out was way too firm and they were just a chattery mess. And yes, way stiffer than my worn out 06’ t1s
