Perry, while not a binding expert, it seems to me that it would be pretty difficult to get a Freeflex binding bang on the BOF-CRS mark to the nearest millimeter.? The method of finding the CRS point is simple enough, but as you say, where the heck is the BOF mark? There's certainly going to be an error factor in getting it spot on -- probably about +/- 0.5 cm I would guess.? Centering your foot in the boot shell...tapping the side to find the ball of foot placement....a bit vague, I would say.? Add to that the fact that the holes in the plate may not line up exactly where you think the BOF-CRS mark should be, and you may be out another 0.5 cm.? It's basically an approximation -- I didn't fret too much about it.? Thankfully, moving the binding around on the plate is easy enough, so if a position doesn't feel right, it can always be moved.? On my previous skis, I moved the Railflex back and forth several times to see what differences I felt, and finally settled on the +15 mark as my preferred spot (easier to do on an RF binding, though).? At some point this winter I will try moving my bindings back by 1 cm just to see how it feels....who knows, I may prefer it...every ski is different.
Thank your wife for her excellent ski analysis.? Very well written, who would have thought that a Viking could be so adept and succinct with the English language.
Jim, such sarcasm! You're well acquainted with my linguistic abilities (or lack thereof, at times!), but Mrs. V is often my equal, especially with a withering remark.? She can slay a man at twenty paces with a quickly written barb. Careful what you say about her, otherwise I'll let her loose here, and may even set her up with her own account....and then you'll be sorry!?
? And besides, it's me who's the Viking....my wife is a Canadian through and through (but no less formidable?
)
Gary, Gary....fast girls? prison jumpsuits? Are they somehow connected? And what's with this:
....the 3 of us got re-acquainted and it was love at first turn
Which three? You and who else? What were their names? How old were they? Did their parents know? I'm not quoting you out of context, I trust (that never happens here ?
)
And hey! What's this? Ooooh....Aaaah....S
omething magic just happened.? I graduated to be a Senior Member here! Hit 200 posts, and presto! I'm suddenly a senior citizen.? Yippee! This means I'm eligible for free lift tickets and senior's discounts at the Skier's Pharmacy & Denture Clinic at Whistler.? Preferred accident insurance rates, and a free walker at the hospital in Solitude, Utah, where old skiers go to retire.? Hey, life is grand as a Senior!? Can't wait 'til I'm a Global Superhero, though, when I get my youth back and get to wear a one-piece spandex suit (but not orange - that colour is taken
).
