Help on the 09 Sir Francis Bacon....

[linepowder]

hey I'm 6'1 175 wondering if the SFB's would be too soft for me... i ski mostly powder but on days where theres none to be found i need a ski that preforms all over the mountain... thanks

 

[Joshua.]

nah you should be fine,

they will be great for powder, just be careful on ice and stuff because they are bendy..

but as long as you stay uppermouantain, your fine

 

[JHDski47]

they will work fine for you...theyre great skis

i have bacons and i weigh about 160 and they do great everywhere except they kinda flap around in crud

 

[JGP.]

I am a little taller than you and I sold my bacons and got 189 hellbents. If you plan on skiing switch at all or mounting forward of recommended the bacons will feel reallly small. I had them mounted at recommended and they were just long enough for forward skiing but I had a rediculously small amount of tail. I would look into a longer ski if you plan on jibbing or skiing switch..

 

[yeahitsdave]

new ones are a little stiffer than last years. just enough to make them super dope. id say rock em, and rock em hard

Im 6'2" 180 and bacons were short, squirrely noodles. I now currently own 189 hellbents.

 

[dave_m]

which year's bacons were those?

 

[linepowder]

this years

 

[snarfsnarf44]

and hellbent somehow are less noodely than bacons??

 

[PacificRimJob]

For you, I'd check out something with a little more stiffness to em.

These three would do you justice... INCREDIBLE justice..

if anything bacons are less noodley, and hellbents got a fat rocker so they ski even short... a little confused
