Anyone got the new chronics?

[sean2martin]

how are they? what size? and what is the color on the bottom because i have heard different sizes are different colors.

I bought a pair. They were orange with yellow base and red writing (if I remember correctly). Then less then 2 weeks later some douchebag broke into my storage locker and stole them ARGGH. Good thing I didn't mount bindings on them yet. their website has a picture. I think the UK site has a pic of the topsheet and base

that sucks

 

[MEGAZORD]

They seem a hell of a lot softer than last years.

sponcered riders have a different base graphic/color

 

[Sharko]

I noticed it right away too, it's almost like a whole new ski this year, looks sick

 

[Tha_Grouch]

not true.

 

[duophunkin]

there are opposite base colors......some skis are the maroon with orange writing, some are the opposite. K2 does this as well.

 

[sean2martin]

for the people who have them, wat size and color are they?

 

[Deranged]

Got the 181's they are bright orange with red righting. Super sick skis.

 

[stingfire]

yeah they don't have that metal plate like last year

 

[Tha_Grouch]

They never had a metal plate.

 

[stingfire]

Are you sure? I coud've sworn I saw an old model inthe store last week and it had the metal matrix grooves on it. maybe i'm confused

 

[Tha_Grouch]

^that was the chronic blend and it had/still does have a carbon matrix.. for tons o' pop.

176 orange base with red writing, def softer than last years, but not to soft, awesome ski

 

[kpudgar]

I have the 176 ones with the dark orange base and yellow lettering.

Killer ski though! The flex is just perfect and most poppy ski ever!

Gotta love the wicked color combo, especially standing out on snow:

[kpudgar]

^don't know what happened with the other pics...just click 'em

 

[sean2martin]

guess that its just random what color base you get and does not matter wat size it is

Sound's like they kill in the park, but how are they on the rest of the mountain?
