how old is your ski? and deep or dock start

[yllw20]

I have a 1985' h.o. mach 1 and graphite t1 both 67".
Both are still in mint condition for a 21yr old ski...Have I nick on top of the mach....got mad and threw the handle...then got madder when I noticed I damaged the ski. The graphite has some scrapes on the bottom from running trot-lines...hey it looks like a bouy.

I have a 2003 HO Phantom full carbon fiber!!! Not many dings cuz I'm smooth like silk!!!

I actually drop a ski due to a bad knee, and get allot of flack about it!!!
But its not how you get up, its what you do when you are up!!

My personal best this year was 32 off at 34 MPH's.

What are trot-lines??

My current ski is a '05 69" HO Vengeance. Before that it was....oh let's see circa '93(?) 67" HO Extreme TRX. One of the few ceramic graphite lay ups they did. The thing must weigh 30 pounds. Before that, it was 67" HO Mach 1 say about '87. Yeah that's it '87. I was a freshman in HS. Going back a tick further, I had me a 67" EP Superformer. I still have all of them plus a few more I've managed to get my hands on. My mother's 65" EP Superformer, My fathers 67" EP Comp 1, one that I have no idea who produced but it about the sweetest looking old ski I've ever seen. It has to be from the sixties. All wood, perfectly flat bottom and a 6" skeg. It has a rose pattern across the entire top of the ski and it still has the original brass and white vinyl bindings that are in perfect shape. I also have a set of Ibson doubles that were my cousins back in the early 70's. Just about as cool as the No Name classic. they as well have brass and white vinyl bindings in perfect shape. Check the pic for the hot chick and the red racing stripes. They still get used to this day and my wife actually learned how to slalom on the one with a toe just this year. She has since moved up to my buddies old Jobe and tried out the course for the first time two weeks ago. I couldn't be more proud of her.
