Do

"We shall never have more time. We have, and have always had, all the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next week or even until to-morrow. Keep going day in and out. Concentrate on something useful. Having decided to achieve a task, achieve it at all costs."
- Arnold Bennett

Sheep are...

Hi there, I'm Logic, pleased to meet you.

Just because someone says something is the best, does not mean that that something is the best. Just because a group of people say something is the best, does not mean it is the best. Just because you keep hearing that something is the best, does not mean, you get the picture.

 How many times have you been let down after waiting so long to get something that was supposedly going to make you a better skier, runner, biker, or anything? How many times have you hidden the fact that that something did nothing for you in a spout of hyperbole and enthusiasm, caught up in the wave of excitement that surrounded that something? How long did you go forcing yourself to endure that something?

If it works for you, use it and make it better. If it fits you, get it. If you need some direction on where to start, ask someone you trust, and then do your homework. Don't follow the herd. Often times, they'll lead you off a cliff into lava. A lava pit of painful feet and crappy turns.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about here? Full Tilt boots. They did not work for me. It's a 40 year old design that went away with one piece neon suits. Why did they bring it back? To torture my feet for 3 years and make me ski like a ghoombah. That's why.

Thanks logic, my feet are happy now. Oh, and thanks Nordica for making a sick boot and hooking me up with a pair.
