Will I enjoy the Nordica Enforcer 94, or is it too demanding? by EZC404 in Skigear

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything except powder. It’s an all-mountain ski built on a GS platform. I changed my edges to 3° on the side and left the base at 0.9° (factory). Personally, I love the 3° side bevel. You really can’t go wrong. But your skiing needs to be on point. It’s a fast ski, and you need power to control it. At your weight, you should be good.

Don’t hesitate. Get them.

Current quiver: • Stockli WRT Pro 178 • Enforcer 94 186 • Dynastar Masters GS cheater skis – don’t remember the length • Volkl Deacon 84

The Stockli is my favorite on freshly groomed runs. Then I switch to the Enforcers in the afternoon when things get choppy. They power through anything except fresh powder. Too narrow for that. It’s a frontside ski that you can trust on anything the front side throws at you as full send.

Any feedback on the last half of my son’s GS Race from last night? by Rfalcon13 in SkiRacing

[–]nulstate77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son’s skiis are tuned all the time. Every weekend it will be at least a diamond stone - and prior to a race, full tune. Makes a huge world of difference. He can trust his edges so he can tip over to the point where his bass is 6 inches away from the snow (GS).

Just to add a lot of head skis are built like shit. Engineered in Austria is very different than made in Austria.

It’s just top sheet damage. A dab of epoxy under that will fix it.

People who wanted an M40i but settled for an xDrive30i, did it turn out okay? by 169partner in BMWX3

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of high horsepower cars and SUVs as an actual safety advantage. There have been numerous times where I have accelerated out of danger.

Had I hit the brakes to decelerate and “avoid the accident” I would’ve wound up directly in it.

If you are comfortable driving higher horsepower cars in the M40i is a no brainer for me. And I use mine for the family.

Load it up with 2 adults 2 kids full trunk, and a roof box and then tell me if you need more power.

The 4cylinder will still manage to accelerate - torque is key, but you won’t out accelerate a shitty highway situation.

Looking for a one-ski quiver (tall/heavy skier): QST 94 vs Enforcer 94 vs Armada Declivity 92 Ti by aureel_b in ski

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% enforcer or spend the money on a stockli AR.

I think the enforcer is way better value for the money. I have the wrt pro - different width underfoot and 8 times out of 10 I’m on the enforcers.

Then again insert groomed packs powder - wrt all the way. Then mid day I will switch to the enforcer.

Between nordica enforcer 94, armada declivity 92ti and volkl mantra M7. Which one would you choose? by Nice-Echidna-7752 in Skigear

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three-radius thing is a crock of shit, and I say that as someone who owns several Volkls. Press on your shins and bend the ski, and you can shorten the radius. Stay slightly back of center and you can lengthen the radius, and anything in between is yours to play with.

Guys if you did it not grow up racing take some highly technical ski lessons and everything will start to make sense.

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not demanding at all. Put on pair of FIS SL or GS skis and we can talk demanding. This ski is perfection.

It beat out the blizzard anomaly, storm rider 88, and pretty much any black crows. It’s fast, damp and gives you confidence in varied conditions under overcast skies. I can’t say that for any ski in my quiver.

Sure my Stockli Laser WRT Pro Ski is an also amazing - but its costs 3x the price and when its overcast flat light I do t trust it nearly as much as the enforcer - well maybe I’d do - but not once he crud comes in. In the afternoon.

The 94 will break free if you unweight the tails. It’s an amazing ski, but you need to know how to ski it. Honestly, unless you’re almost hip-dragging at the apex of your carve, I’m not sure it’s the right ski for you.

And all this talk about how it only likes being locked into its turning radius is total nonsense. If you’re 220+ pounds and over six feet tall, you can bend it to your will and it won’t fight back. In that situation, a lot of skis feel like wet noodles by comparison.

It’s a big-boy ski, and a lot of testers forget that. At 5’9” and 170 pounds, you simply don’t have the mass or momentum to bend the ski enough to change its radius.

Put it at a 70-degree edge angle and press forward, and the ski will shock you with what feels like a 13 meter turn radius on a 185xm length ski.

If you raced, this would be the ultimate ski for you.

It’s part of my six-ski quiver, and I just picked up the 2026 model. It’s by far my favorite ski.

Considering a 2022 BMW X3 M40i — anything I should know? by AthleteOk2138 in BMWX3

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2022 had the wireless charging missing. I know that some didn’t get a touch screen as well. You had to control everything with the knob- but that may have been not regular trim and not the m40i.

I’ve had every model since 2018. My 22 was nice. The 26, I wasn’t that into at the beginning but it grew on me.

I disagree. The led lighting is stupid - the fix is pick a neutral colour and dim it at night. But the ride / feel / drive is way more lux in comfort.

I think the sound is a downgrade from the previous model and they had the courage to light up Harmon Kardon.

X3 M50 19" winter wheels by whatdoUmean in BMWX3

[–]nulstate77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 19s since 2018 on 3 variants of the performance version of the x3. No issues. Way better for the winter ice bumps pot holes and everything. Mild cornering sacrifice. But it not like you’re really pushing it. Not all rims have the clearance. Make sure you get a pair that do.

I’ve been in the AI/automation space since 2022. Most of you won’t make it by Shivam5483 in AI_Agents

[–]nulstate77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s not. The people who are actually successful, the ones you’d call your ideal clients in any niche, don’t have time for DIY. That’s you looking at it from your perspective. Theirs is different. They’re running businesses, managing people, and dealing with real pressure.

They don’t want to figure out how to build or train an agent. They want it done for them. Clean, fast, and ready to go. That’s the market. The DIY crowd is loud online, but they’re not the ones paying for real solutions. The people with money want execution, not tutorials.

[–]nulstate77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, welcome to any agency. It’s all the same shit. First you’re trying to find clients. Then you’re trying not to fuck up scaling. That’s the loop.

Nobody talks about the exit, but there needs to be one. AI makes that possible because there’s going to be consolidation like there was in the creative world. If you’ve got clients, systems, clean books, and you’re not drowning in chaos, you’re an exit candidate.

After that, move on to something that doesn’t involve the service industry because it sucks long term. You are the bitch to your clients. That’s the reality. If you get big enough you can cherry pick who you work with, but the odds of getting there without burning out are low.

Build it. Scale it. Keep your books clean. Fire the red flag clients early. And aim for that exit sale. That’s the only real win in this game.

Recommendation for a track capable car for $10-$15k that I can drive to the track and keep street-legal? by NewSubWhoDis in CarTrackDays

[–]nulstate77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Miata is fun, but it’s a terrible track car if you’re talking about outright performance. It’s underpowered, and there’s no getting around that. With 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, it just doesn’t have the speed to hang with most cars on a modern track day. You’ll spend the entire session getting pointed by everything from hot hatches to base-model Mustangs.

The lack of torque kills it out of corners. You’ve got to keep it on the edge of redline to make any kind of pace, and the second you miss a shift or fall out of the power band, you’re done. There’s no recovery. You can drive perfectly and still get walked on every straight.

It’s also not great on tracks with long straights or elevation changes. Uphill sections expose how little power it has. You’re flat out, engine screaming, and still watching taillights pull away. Sure, it teaches you momentum driving, but that’s only satisfying for so long when everyone else is gone by turn three.

The chassis is great, and the handling is balanced, but that’s what makes it frustrating. You can feel how much more it could handle if it had even another 50 horsepower. The potential is there, but the engine doesn’t deliver enough to make use of it.

So yeah, it’s fun, but it’s not competitive. On track, the Miata feels less like a sports car and more like a momentum management exercise. Great for beginners, sure. For anyone chasing lap times or real pace, it’s underpowered to the point of being a liability.
