    stiff twins for all around

    Does anyone know of a shop in Canada that still has a pair of 2002/03 model Mad_trix in 180cm length still in stock?

    stiff twins for all around

    Well, I am heavily leaning towards the Mad Trix. I've actually skied them and liked them allot, plus on paper they seem to be the best suited for my intended use (Ontario parks and ripping groomers with the occasional big mountain trip). Still a debate as to what length to go with, 172 or 180...

    mo-rod, that kind of surprises me to hear. It seams this is the discription that I see from Volkl for the 03' model 'A less-expensive twin tip for new school pipe and park skiing; Same sidecut and Sensorwood core as the V Legend, but with a softer, more forgiving construction, and a more...

    BamBam, I hear you on the length. The other side of the story is that I'm also only 5'7' so I can get away with a bit shorter. I'll probably stick to 180mm lenght or so, thats what my Darksides were and I liked the length of them. Here is hoping I can actually find a demo for these skis.

    And yes I'm heavy, but living in Ontario I have no need for a fat ski like the Seth Pistol. ON isn't known for its powder days.

    Most definitly not 4frt 'The skis flex pattern is designed for landing switch and specifically park riding.' right from 4frnt propoganda, certainly not what I'm looking for. The V-Pro looks nice but doesn't have as much sidecut as the MT or PE, or even the TM. I'll have to get some demoing in...

    Best binding out there for jibbing....

    Old Look turntables (TT series). Simply the best. even after 3 seaons out of production you still see many of the top pros using them and Look still makes small quantities for their pros. If I have anything to say about it I will never use another binding. Its all about having a truely...

    nozpress, I get the mesasge :-) Based on what I have heard here and elseware I think I'll be looking at either the Public Enemy (PE)or the Mad trix (MT) come this season. I am still wary about the durability of the MT though. Can anyone confirm that Head has taken action to improve the ski...

    So after some further research I have narowed my choices down to these: - Rossi Scratch FS - K2 Public Enemy - Head Mad Trix - Dynastar Trouble makers The only ones I have riden so far are the Mad Trix last season. I loved the feel of them but am concerned about their durability. Can...

    stiff twins for all around

    I currently own a pair of the orriginal Line Darksides (all grey ones) which have served me well but I'm thinking it is time for something new. I want a ski which is similar in shape but stiffer that my darkside and that I can go a bit shorter, maybe 175 range, whithout loss of stability. The...

    skier-x

    So I think I'm going to enter the saab solomon skiercross race in Tremblant this year, however I don't want this to be my first race experience. Does anyone know of a skiercross series or individural race (fun or competitive) in Ontario? Preferably in Barrie/Collignwood/GTA area.

    Biding placement

    So here is the issue. I have a pair of Line Darksides from a couple years ago (when they were still laminate construction). I bought a new pair of boots this year and they are significantly shorter shell length. Since I use the old style look turntables I don't have a ton of adjustment and...
