Black Diamond Telekneesis Kneepad

They should work. They have a static strap on the bottom and an elastic strap at the top, so they work really well for about constant flexing, and stay comfortable.

go to black diamond's website- they have a video on how to trim them yourself. There's more to it than you think.

Forward mount, yo. Gotta watch out for that wheelie effect you get when mounting farther back. I've got 'em mounted with Hamheads, and they're mounted 'park tele- style.' I have the widest part of my boot at the skinniest part of the ski.
If your rear ski tip is coming behind your forward ski or boot, you probably just need to get a longer ski, or work on your technique some more. Close your stance and try to keep your free heel lower down. Don't squat so low in your turns- try to stay upright more. I've seen a lot of tele skiers who put too much weight on one foot or the other, and it all comes down to equal weighting on each ski.
Different skis require different technique, so try leaning forward and making sure both knees are bent.

Lib Technologies NAS Park Alpine Ski
April 13, 2009
Teleskiing these things is cool. I definitely wouldn't recommend a soft binding, though. Hammerheads are perfect for them. You could put some Bishops on there...if you HAVE to...Bishops are just...well...they're for Teleskiers who think they need to beat alpine skiers, and the rest of us chill, layed-back free heelers know that gear is only as good as the skier. That being said, Hammerheads kick ass, and you can always get the stiffy springs. Hammerheads don't break like Bishops, and they cost half as much. As far as mounting goes, put the end of the wings on the binders at the center magne-traction 'bump' for optimal control.
..6 months later: I just got a pair of Bishops for my Maestros...eating my words now.

Black Diamond Ascension Gold Label Skin Glue 4oz can
December 9, 2008
is this stuff any good for touch ups? the tails on my skins have lost a lot of glue, and there's a couple spots on the edges, but for the most part, the glue is good. Can I just apply this in a couple spots as needed?
