I Really Like The New Head's.

They're still friggin' huge. If they're as stiff as Heads tend to be they'll be quite a lot of ski.
 
I have always like what Head has put out (im still rocking the old Black and Whites) but they really stepped it up, wow.
 
Hopefully they've fixed the delaming problems on the supermojo, those skis would be SWEET if they stayed intact.
 
hmm, i wonder how wide those jon signature ones on the left are at the waist. my gut tells me 105 which would make those skis beastly
 
thats why i love my pistols, in the rare case i efect outta a binding i just gotta dig a bit and the pink bases like GLOW in the snow.
 
Please.. those Mojo 105s are ill.. I already threw up twice looking at them.. Mckeem was skiing em early in the season.. they are built less like the Monsters.. (supermojo) more like the Mojo90.. I am sooooooooo happy about this I peed.

Finally a fat sick twin.. that isn't a noodle.
 
are you saying that isnt a noodle, as in it will help all mountain riding, or are you saying it would help in pow some how???
 
I am saying that I am pretty over fat skis that are pow skis for pussaaays.

Seriously, the only real big mountain skis are full on planks. I have skied on Seths own Pistols.. and they were nothing like mine, I have skied on Hugos quads and they were planks too.

Currently there are very very very few skis in that dimension that aren't butter soft noodles.. and trust me (or don't if you like.. I don't really care) at speed, on a steep, in waist deep powder.. you DON'T want a soft ski, you want something that feels like a superwide version of Herman Meier's downhill ski for the Hannenkam
 
i asked you because i was seriously looking into hearing what you have to say about it. i sensed that you were thinking im an idiot. but i just wanted to know, and thank you for answering. but i see nothing wrong with my pistols and elizabeths, i love straight lining and riping up super deep pow. i just dont get why they wouldnt be good for speed on a steep terrain....

do you have any suggestions on a ski you like that i can maybe find to demo, im interested because i dont think i have ever skied a fat ski that wasnt a noodle.
 
for the average skier, seth pistols (or something similar) are plenty of ski to go fast on steep terrain. for people like hugo and seth, "speed on a steep terrain" takes on a whole new meaning than it does for mere mortals like you and me.
 
and as far as fat skis that aren't noodles, if they have the word "super" in their title they're usually pretty stiff haha. supermojos, supernobis, supermodel. it's all super.
 
I got the supermojos and what a world of difference from my MSP's, those mojo105's make my pp tingle. Because my only gripe on my supermojos are the lack of a twin, not that I would want to ride switch on them, but a ski with a twin is more versatile, especially for billy goating
 
the monster 88's (the red ones to the right) are sick.. i skiied them a couple times last week after we got some pow and they were tearing shit up
 
Sorry bro, I wasn't insinuating you are an idiot.. alot.. and I mean alot of people like softer powder skis.. I just don't.

They are great when you are skiing pow that is completely untracked.. with very little Avy debris under, on faces that are generally sub 50degrees.

When you are skiing like that, they are comfortable and a joy. They don't work you.

BUT.. as soon as conditions decrease, or your speed increases, you will likely be fighting to maintain a stable balanced platform, and you will feel worked over.

Strode said it right... the SuperMojos, and the Supernobis are super..

And forwhoever said they are jealous of me regarding me skiing on Seth's and Hugos skis.. don't be, it is just a circumstance of where I live.. many people here have been on those skis.

I would have a pair, except that I am about half a foot shorter and I got spanked by them bad.

I am no Hugo, or Seth, I can handle a plank, but not at that level or size.

That is where my real complaint starts.. that pretty much any fat powder ski under 187cm is a noodle.. and my knees won't live through a season on a set of 198 B4 Squads.
 
The New Mojo 105 is yes, 105 mm underfoot.

It is not built ANYTHING like the M103 (or Supermojo as its now called), but rather built like the Mojo90. Its soft(er) than the Supermojo like night and day, and more along the like of the mojo90, just proportionatly wider, and softer. It rips pow to death and stomps pow landings with ease. I loved this ski so much that I had a hard time giving back to prototypes I was on.

Its gonna be a SICK ski.
 
heads are sick, they are built so well. i ski d like 110 times last year and i was jibbing everyday, and i stilll have edges like no breaks and they are still intacted.
 
Ryan.. well that still makes it about ten times as stiff as my Seth Viscious, or my Pistols..

I am still happy.

Now Ryan.. when can you get me some? And will they be small enough for me?
 
to whoever wanted to know of a STIFF big mountain ski, you should def try the Stormrider DP by stokli (not sure if you get them in the us). they used to be only in 201cm but they got some new sized out and these things are stiff.
 
yea dude but my head rep says the Mojo 105 will be softer than the other skis they've made in that catagory and it's their first real fat twin. I'm gonna rock it. I think it comes 183, 193 like is the head stylie. I'd ski the 183 though for sure.
 
idk my personal opinion but to me they look like twintip racing skis...they arent original at all i dont know they're kind of boring
