I could totally see someone forgetting which completely irrelevant and forgetao ski company’s cleaver they were talking about.

I’m pretty aware of the Indy ski brand scene and honestly had no clue either were still producing skis.

I never see anyone skiing Surface especially, except for a local influencer around here who got a free pair haha. Even when I lived in UT for a year and the week long trip I took there last week, didn't ever see a single pair.

Haha but then on the flip side almost every kid on the freestyle team out here is riding them like they’re going outta style.
 
No 192 BO118 in the catalog, but wouldn’t be the first time rossi doesnt include something.

I’m super excited if thats actually true

They said they just started making protos of the 192 118 this season, so I think it was a late addition and might be a similar release to what they did with the Sender Squad this past year. They said the 192 118 is what Pehota's been on this year, along with a 194 BO110.
 
194 bo110 gtfoh!!!

Hmm, I’m pretty sure pehota’s just been on the 186 BO116, but who knows

That's the whole marketing behind that ski. Black ops. Secrecy. Ooooooooh.

Seriously though a 192 of that ski is the answer for sure. Hope they shave some weight out of those monsters as well
 
14248244:Lazylightning said:
shave weight? That's ridiculous!

I didn't think a ski could be any heavier than the old bentchetlers until I picked up a pair of black ops.
 
You all do realize that what makes the black ops actually sick is that its heavy right?

theres countless other twin tips made by other companies that are lighter, I don’t need or want more skis that suck in variable conditions.

Yup, love that it skis like a friggin tank.

Well that's just like you're opinion man.

I think they'd be a better boat anchor than strapped to my feet.
 
Shave weight that’s stupid

fuck light skis

Not a religious man, but AMEN!

Thats fine, my opinion is that I like heavier skis more for inbounds skiing, you like light ones.

but you have so many options for light twin tips and there very few options for heavy ones, go choose any of the light options instead of complaining that the few heavy options are too heavy.
 
Agreed on the heavier skis chain. Touring wise im all for shaving weight but in bounds you need that weight to blast through stuff. Shaving weight would lower one of the black ops best characteristics: chop destroying
 
What you do is you get the b ops, and when in need of a gun, wang em on the head with your b opsand ski away, get the 192 and you’ll have 6 more cm of range

14248346:SendyMcSendyface said:
well fuck me sideways, now i've gotta decide between these and a new gun
 
Agreed and well said, I hate it when people complain about ski weight, if it’s too heavy then it’s not for you go buy a noodle, don’t mess with our 190+ skis, truly damp skis or chargers, it’s so hard to find good 190+ skis and some of us are always asking for companies to increase length, dampness etc, we don’t need any1 complaining, as I already said there’s a lightweight noodle for you bambis out there

14247743:mystery3 said:
That ski has sooooo much taper, even more than the synapse I think. Are there any skis with more taper?

Reverse sidecut skis are almost all taper. Kappa

Honestly tho, even though the ski has a steep taper, I don't think the actual length of taper along the sidecut is particularly long.

Marksman for comparison:

Light doesn't mean soft. Ride whitewalkers. Or hojis. Or ravens. All stiff. All light.

and are all terrible in variable snow.

Heavy skis have their place, light skis have their place.

The BO118 is cool because it is heavy and has a playful shape.

Yes sorry I'm not arguing with anyone I'm just joking around in the end. Skis are so personal i could care less if people want to shred heavy or light or soft or stiff skis for any reason. It's all good.

Hey it made me watch your 2013 season edit and brought back some good memories. Good stuff
 
By the way, a little bird told me that Ninthward is coming back next season with a production run of skis. There's a reason Sammy Keena is tagging them in every insta post

Not exactly familiar with oneps but what are the blue n reds?

This is just a generic team top we put on protos or team skis (some on skis that were sold this year as well). I think we have like 10 color variants. Some are see through in sections to see the composites in the ski.

so your protos are cooler than other skis:D
 
Any idea what sizes they’re gonna make?

No idea, apparently the owner has access to a factory with a ton of rocker profile patterns. So he's probably doing a lot of design work right now and i think little is finalized.
 
Also for anyone interested, not confirmed but I have heard whispers of a new 104 waisted Deathwish from Moment coming next year... curious to see if anyone else has heard of anything.
