>What boots should I get?
It is extremely important to get boots that fit you well and to have them heat moulded. Therefore, it is very important to go to a professional bootfitter (not just a ski shop, but specifically a bootfitter). For a list of reputable bootfitters, refer to epicski.com/wiki/boot-fitters-on-epicski
You can also consider getting custom footbeds for increased comfort and performance. If you are a beginner this is not that important (though getting boots from a bootfitter is), but if you are an advanced-expert skier it will make a big difference.

>What bindings should I get?
The most important things to consider with bindings are DIN range and brake width. Your DIN should be around the middle of your binding's DIN range. For example, if you ski with a DIN of 7, a 4-12 binding would be good for you. A 1-7 or a 7-16 would be bad. If you don't know your DIN, look up a DIN chart.
The brake width should be approximately equal to the waist of the ski. It's better for the brake to be a little smaller than a little bigger (ski shop techs can bend the brakes when they mount the bindings), but if you go more than 7mm or so smaller the brakes might not fit well. Going up to about 10mm wider on the brakes is alright too as long as you don't carve really aggressively.

>I suck at skiing, how can I get better?
Stop being a faggot and huck something big. Or post video of you skiing ITT and we'll critique it.
>Is it true that only faggots snowboard?
Yes.
Skiing is for cucks
I really hope El Nino delivers, last season fucking blew. Can't wait to get out of CA either, sick of being snowcucked by the rest of the country. The PNW sounds nice.

Agreed. Not sure if I should go there or back to Utah or somewhere else this winter.

I'm thinking about giving up watching RAW, and just stick to the PPV and NXT. What should I watch instead of it (I never really watched anything outside of WWE and TNA, with some House of Hardcore stuff)
>>794969
Lucha Underground.
Lucha Underground and PWG
Also NJPW. Watch Wrestle Kingdom 9 from earlier this year. Its Japanese but JR and Matt Striker did English commentary. It was a pretty solid show.
>>794969
Yeah, I'm gonna stick to just the PPVs for a while. I'm undecided about NXT - the hits might be worth the misses.
I'm filling the gap with old PPVs when I fancy watching some wrasslin'. I missed out pretty much the entire '00s and early '10s, so it's fun catching up a little.
Who's the most handsome WWE superstar of the last 10 years and why is it Randy O?

Lately I've taken a real interest in Kyokushin. How is it in regards to self defense? Anyone know of any good dojos around Boston?
let me tell you a little about goju
The problem with kyokushin is the lack of head punches and the distance they fight at. that being said there are still several advantages. Your knuckles and wrist will become very strong and you will be less likely to break it in a fight, you will be able to throw head kicks from really close ranges and kyokushin will make you one tough motherfucker and teach you to be aggressive. I would say if it interests you go for it its perfectly fine for self defense. anyone saying otherwise is overthinking things. Alot of kyokushin schools in the states teach kickboxing as well anyway.
Mix Kyokushi Karate with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and you'll be golden for any kind of situation. It's better to do more then one martial art anyways
Who is your favourite canadian wrestler /asp/?

Good choice
Duh,
The Green Bastard from Parts Unknown
What are you thankful for /wwe/?
thankful that gay ass mandrama is now on /asp/
Cesaro doesn't deserve anything more than the US/IC title.
>>796401
This.
I will never understand why people fawn over him the way they do.
Sure he's a phenomenal wrestler. But the guy has 0 charisma and can't cut a promo. His popularity is only with internet fans.
At least Punk and Bryan could hold an audience.

b-but Roman is a draw! it was seths fault xD
>antismark tryhard /sp/keks will defend this
It's because sheamus is champion and not reigns. This only shows that nobody likes sheamus.
>Rometty confirmed for ratings killer
>>793191
Sheamus didn't even get as much attention as Reigns did.
Why must you wwe fans squander the glorious sport of wrestling? Why do you watch such a horrible thing? Is it for the "wrestling"? Is it for the story?
>inb4 real wrestling is gay
They're to fat or to weak for real sports. Most WWE fags get wrecked regularly by trained fighters.
Don't get the appeal at all
