[DiamondC]

PM mattwalker

 

[nkimmes_40]

the blends are like last years chronic wides, except i heard that they are like the prophet 90 except with a different core or something like that

 

[k2pow]

there has to be some difference cause y would line make two of the sme skis, is a differnt core enough to make a whole new ski?

 

[DiamondC]

^^^ wait so there is no 2007 wide?

 

[PTY]

no

 

[DiamondC]

thats pretty gay but we

 

[PTY]

the blend is essentially the wide

 

[PTY]

no

the chronic blend is wider and has different tip/tail dimensions

I think there might be a different flex pattern too

 

[PTY]

oh

I thought you meant it was the exact same

but yeah you're right it is

 

[nkimmes_40]

so.......has anyone skied them yet?

 

[BigJew]

I'm just going to take a guess, but I'll say a stiffer mothership.

 

[nkimmes_40]

and will they still have the carbon ollieband like the wides did last year?

 

[wiglaf]

The chronic blend has all the same dimensions as a prohet90. It has the same tip and tail profile, which is different from the chronic line. There is no full length ollie band. Pretty much the only difference between the prohet90 and the blend is the added material in the core. Prophet=metal Blend=carbon. This means the blend would be a touch lighter and some what softer. In return the blend would perform better in the park then a prophet.

 

[nkimmes_40]

so do u think that the chronic would be better in park than the chronic blend?

 

[nkimmes_40]

and do u think that the blend would be a good pipe ski?

 

[Malczyk]

the blend is TIGHT!! its not jsut like the prophet 90, but similar. the blend has carbon whereas the prophet has titanium. the big difference you ask? the weight, the blend is geared more toward park where the proph is more all-mountain. they seem like too much of a ski for just park at first but are super fun and light. sick all mountain ski plus a good park one too.

 

[wiglaf]

it might not be as agile and quick to edge just b/c of the width but it would deffinity be stable in the pipe

 

[k2pow]

does anyone have a pic of them???

 

[nkimmes_40]

r they good for buttering?

 

[crossfireskiben]

yep they're fun jk idk

 

[wiglaf]

softer skis are better for buttering.... stiff skis are harder and hurt more when buttering.... so i would say no, they are not the best skis for buttering. Invaders and anthems are better for butters

 

[dom_uk]

but lets be honest, buttering is way over rated! if i could chose from lifting my tails slighttly whilst i basically revert, or having a ski that can actually hold an edge i know what id chose

 

[Luc.]

thats not nessisarily true...depending on how big of a guy you are and how much leg strenght u have...+ how much the ski is worked in....you can flex the chronics just fine...i dont have a problem flexing them around....just not as easy as say the anthem or invader like u said.
