A true twin tip that thrashes all mountain and specifically carves great. i’ve made a mock up of a fischer ranger 96 could look like. the top ski shows it unchanged and the bottom shows the modification. (notice the tails) the ski was only...

    Boot flex from brand to brand

    So i’ve decided i need to get out of my roxa R3 UL 110s that have never been exactly right. I like the flex on them but I was curious to try a 120 flex boot see what was up. I tried on the K2 recon 120 to get a taste of boa as well and wow, these things feel like noodles compared to my roxas. So...

    There you go Candide, I fixed your skis.

    A simple stringer down the middle like you see in classic surfboard is all he needed to turn these blank planks into something elegant. I could look at these all day. **This thread was edited on Feb 1st 2024 at 12:52:48pm

    Drew up some ski concepts

    Disclaimer that these are hand drawn and the proportions in the drawings are not super well represented to true scale. Everything is my own work except for the rocker profiles. The Boner is for the piste and is a top of the line carver as far as freestyle skis go with a medium flex at the tips...

    What would you do?

    (not for park) you have 2 options. The first ski is a great fit for your current skiing and ability level. It will 1000% unlock a lot of confidence and ability but you likely won’t be progressing to another world on this ski which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. On the other hand the second ski...
