L keep ya postedIFi get the courage to try my first outing in over two years after the hip debacle and another minor heart episode . Got new skis as my motivation went all mtn got off the Atomic Sx 10 and are now goingto use the new pkg i bought two years ago a week before my first surgery .. These are Atomic blackeye TI ,s about 17 mm wider at the waist than what i was on and rockered so it WILL be different and hopefully more appropriate for a guy my age coming off a huge layoff .. Right now i have the desire but gotta work on the head stuff getting back in the saddle .
Cheers to you and yours !!!
