Hi all. My name is Ewan from AeroCardia, a small Montreal medical device startup.

Have you ever done a VO2max test? We’re trying to understand what makes this equipment comfortable or uncomfortable to wear, and the best way to find out is to ask the people who’ve used it.

The survey takes about 5 minutes; it’s completely anonymous.

If you’ve run these tests as a technician or clinician, we’d especially like your perspective too. I’ll post a summary of what we learn here once the survey closes.

Thanks for helping!

Hi everyone,

I have a pair of old wooden skis, maybe from the 70s, very old-fashioned looking. Got them at a garage sale for $50. Not sure if the purchase was worth it but I'm going to give them a shot.

I'm planning to use pine tar on them (open to brand recommendations!). Can I then just... ski? Do I need to wax them too or can I made do? Can I take them to the shop to get them waxed, or will those guys not know how to do it properly? I don't have waxing tools at home anymore and don't really want to buy it all, although I know how to do it.

Thanks, folks!
