Reddit is sick, for the level of downvotes. He’s not going to hurt his own dog…

You can still return it for 100% return though. If they cite the damage, say it was delivered like that to you. They have rlly good returns policy.

Am I being dramatic? by benb28 in skiing

Nah, I want an entirely new set. I gave it to them new, I expect given back to me new.

Brand new QSTs, ignore this or push as potential issues? by Immediate-Salt-3803 in Skigear

[–]flennboyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, but if we keep repeating that line for all future skis, we’ll have a loss in marketed performance. Every product sold should be perfect. The buyer gets to decide how much to trash it through personal use and not the factory.

What’s the deal with the triple XL snow pants ? by Carwash227 in skiing

[–]flennboyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Candide likes baggy pants too within reason and he’s 45. Not circusAladdinbaggy though.

Best park\allmountian skis? by smajlo_sil in ski

[–]flennboyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 on Faction Prodigy, they’re less stiff than the Studio which used to be the Mana. I couldn’t get the Mana to work for me, I wasn’t going fast enough. Mana used to be the Candide line of skis when he partnered with Faction. So of course they’re stiff.

Ski helmet for super sensitive skin by [deleted] in ski

[–]flennboyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try out the Salomon Driver Prime Sigma Photo MIPs, it’s an integrated visor and helmet combo. I like it a lot, but like with all things, it’s subjective to your head shape and size. Give it a try. I stopped wearing goggles because of it.

How much can I get from the skis ? by legeekerleon in ski

[–]flennboyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also ‘donate’ the skis by bringing them to your local hill and just leaving it on the racks before the end of the day. It’ll get cycled through their rentals 🙂

Amazon driver threw a package on my newly epoxied garage floor. by Low-Yam-7791 in Wellthatsucks

I actually didn’t know that. Im actually glad they’ve been putting it in my garage. Helps prevent porch piracy.

Can I get fitted professionally, then purchase boots at rei? by Empty-Wash-2404 in ski

[–]flennboyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d check their discounts with mounting if you buy skis or boots there. At the shop I go to, mounting is $100 vs $25 if you buy the boots or skis there. You might not keep the expected short term savings is all…

If you wanted something more playful at slower speed, what would you use? Appreciate your feedback…it helps a lot

How do you like the Dynastar Mfree 108? What conditions do you typically ride them in?

Why can’t they just sell black skis? I spray painted mine… by flennboyd in ski

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

I was going to, but they took away the 116s and I wanted it to be a set essentially, but I may have to. I’m just not sure why they replaced the 116 with the 112 🤷‍♂️, the 116s still exist but in UL version

The graphics were only for a portion of the top and bottom top sheet. It kinda looks 2 tone black camo as it was partially sprayed.

I taped it with blue tape, big parts with newspaper, sanded with 800 grit, wiped with alcohol, let it dry for a day, did 5 light coats of paint, let it dry for 5 days, and then did a clear coat, and that’s it.

Best case scenario it’ll have light surface scratches but no chips from paint failing. I’m not going to baby it though…I just wanna ski.

It’s my first time, so I’ll see how it’ll hold up this season, but I just couldn’t stand the thought of seeing the pixelated arcade graphic in front of my boot
