2012 Black Diamond Gigawatt Ski

by SkiersRealm
Jan 27th 2011 - 0 comments

Giga what? It's the Gigawatt! Well with that out of the way lets get to the specs. The Gigawatt has full length rocker from tip to tail. There are two sizes for 2012 and they are.. 185 and an even longer 195. The tip has a width of 163 a waist of 135 and a tail coming in at 141. Good luck finding brakes. Although it is such a giant in the ski world it is still backcountry touring friendly weighing in at 11.11 lbs. and 12.9 lbs. This is the biggest fattest ski that Black Diamond has produced, ever. Get used to it. They say it is the future of being a man.

Jan 27th 2011 - 0 comments

The 2012 Tanner Hall POC helmet is black with rasta highlights, has a low profile design, and overall clean looking. That is why we don't blame POC when they told us that they didn't change it from last year. Over all we are stoked.

Atomic Skis welcomes Mike Riddle as the newest addition to its already great line-up of riders including the Wells boys. The young Canadian may be the world?s best halfpipe skier.

Give it a look to get in the mood for the production on ESPN this weekend. I haven't seen this much coverage of the Winter X-Games since there were modified shovels and motorcycles with spikes in the mix.Watch the Winter X Games Live Stream

The new 2012 Salomon STH 16 Binding design has not been changed. If it ain't broke why fix it? The DIN range is a comfortable 9 - 16. For 2012 Salomon comes to the table with two different versions of the STH 16 bindings. The three year old lightweight version will still be available but the bullet proof completely steel STH binding is back.

2012 Marker Jester Pro Ski Binding

by SkiersRealm
Jan 21st 2011 - 0 comments

Check out the new 2012 Marker Jester Pro Bindings. From what we could gather the new pro version will have all of the specs that we saw from the Jester this season with the addition of a reinforced aluminum anti sway bar. The strut will stiffen the toe piece to prevent pre-release when going big and landing hard.(Justin Nyberg) ?You don?t want to land after a 200 foot gap and have your skis pop off,? says Geoff Curtis, marketing director for Marker. Retail Price $419.95 Via: Justin Nyberg - outside-blog.away.com

Tim launched TimDurtschi.com this week in his down time between filming for PoorBoyz new video and getting on the podium at the 2011 Red Bull Line Catcher event in France.
