what's inside a (broken) goode?

from an italian ski forum (www.skiforum.it)

the ski was broken - as they said - at minimal speed while skiing trees, most likely because of torsion in an unplanned (by designers...) direction. The bindings were at 8 din and did not open

Woooof. Thats some pretty valuable insight. I cant say I'm gonna be first in line to buy a 1000 ski w/ foam in it.

(no matter what the weight)

I tried their poles back in 7th grade. But because my hand didn't stop vibrating, I immediately switched back to aluminum scotts.

I can't imagine skiing on that shit. It must be painful as all fucking hell.

yea it does. and if that was the case-> unless your on markers or some other binding with vertical release, it wouldnt come off.

Yeah, they can fail catastrophically, in unexpected places. I broke my original pair of db Surreals (the original mold for the Goode Vision 95) in a small depression in the snow during a traverse. I found out later that they were from one of their "bad" lots (that eventually put db out of business). Supposedly, so long as they're laid up properly (apparently, carbon fiber is much more tricky to lay up correctly) they should be OK, but you usually don't know you have a bad pair until they fail.

What's Italian for "I was just skiing along"?

Actually, it's real simple - carbon on wood is just fine. Carbon on foam isn't.
Thank God Stephan had the sense to go to wood.
And Goode is a fukking dick who stole the whole unstable design from Stephan.
I hope he chokes on it.

eh? Are you saying he's a dick for stealing a crappy design and forcing SD to turn to a better one?
