That's a great article! I've always had the un-balanced approach!

Bravo Chris.  I always look forward to reading your articles!  They are never the same regurgitated ski babble that gets reprinted year after year, they are always well planned and incredibly thought provoking!  I understand you are a tad handicapped there at SkiTek having that dead weight Wade Williams (Just Kidding WADE!) slacking around but you guys are indeed running a killer program!  I can't wait to get back to Orlando and come rip!

Wade Wade Wade....you clam chowda head stranger, how the hell are ya?  I may be in your hizzy the 1st wknd of May...you gonna b around?  Do you even know who this is?   here's a hint-last time we skied the water was calm and the beer was cold...i showed up after nationals with a new ski to rip @ 34 bc im old.  I had a buddy in tow that you needed to constantly scold.  You left him in the drink all alone in the cold.  ya, thats right, its Tim B from MO...i may be jumping a flight to Orlando w my girl to get away for our b-days in May...would like to rip a few sets if you are around...nothing's solid yet, just looking into it.  lemme know chief...

my preferred method is the "balanced crash" its a carefully planned and well executed way of running 28s and 32s out of control and sometimes skipping across when burying the tip.  If you'd like some pointers let me know - I have years of experience and a wealth of knowledge with this particular technique!

Very good article, gonna try  to put it to work this afternoon
