Sorry but I refuse to put a battery in my ski that has a tendency to blow up when dropped, jostled, hit with a hammer, you get the idea. I've had 2 LiPo's go full retard on me while flying my video rig, not fun....
I would NEVER use a Lipo on a total loss system. Hell, I would never use a lipo in my ski period! They are great and maintenance free yea, but they are SUPER temper mental.

Pretty quick blurb on Sploid (Gizmodo) this morning about the camera setup James Visser used for his backflip shot.
I say we blow the comments up with freeride and flatwater videos!

I've thought about riding the yamaha (couch) for the rest of the season, but I know I couldn't just take it easy on it... that was the whole reason for not solely owning a couch lol. I've come to the conclusion that my season is done. I've debated unloading everything to fund an AM hull, but I...
So saw the Orthopedic Surgeon yesterday. I have a 5mm (ish) tear in the upper portion of my patellar tendon. They gave me a 6 day pack of steroids to take to aid in the reduction of the inflammation. I have 5 weeks of Physical Therapy then a decision on surgery on the 19th next month depending...
Sweet! Here is one I shot at Haleakala Volcano on Maui last month. You'll have to forgive the shaking in the video, I was at nearly 12,000 ft elevation and literally got 3 min of flight time per battery lol.
Thus is life until you finish the awesomness that is college man. You suffer in the short term for amazing gains in the long term. Summers are for working and saving money until the next semester for a few years until you're done. Seriously... you're probably not even in your mid 20's yet.... If...
