God damn I like the Kins a lot! Soft and light enough for buttering and swerving but still quick and fun to carve tight turns. Feels a bit like the ultimate evolution of older Candide 2.0.

Also can feel that Pollard touch between the Kins and Sakanas, carving them feels surprisingly similar

Dude I love them. They’re such a smooth ride. I feel like it’s the perfect amount of flex for an all mountain twin. Bendy but no chatter. Super stable off jumps and in the air. Honestly hard to believe it’s an Elan lol.

I just haven’t hit a rail with them yet, i really don’t wanna crack an edge so I’ve avoided rails. [tag=155648]@tdollo[/tag] cracked his. Maybe he can weigh in on wether or not rails are a good idea on these.

What´s the ski on the left??

It’s a on3p Kartel 108 that’s cut into a swallow tail and plasti dipped.

ski has like tons of edge cracks/dents, base depressions, protruding base. It’s all sorts of fucked up. So why not cut it ya know.

I was waiting for this comment haha. Honestly they're the only two skis i actually need. I got the Playmakers on a pro deal for like 200 and couldn't say no.

Don't currently own the unleashed but am considering it.

Want to try the sender free 110 before I decide. The dude selling the nordies wants 500 and the edges are as close to being fucked as they can be without being cracked. ?

where'd you mount them? I have them at +2 and am hoping I made the right decision.

I honestly went with factory rec so I could be in the center of the camber. There’s a whole thread of me contemplating the decision you can find lol

lmao ok glad we went through the same thought process. It took me like two weeks of back-and-forth with one of my shop buddies to decide the mount point

I found after considerable park use the sidewalls gave out before the edges did. Had quite a few edge cracks underfoot but nothing pulling out until the sidewalls quit. Honestly would not use it as a daily park ski; but a proper detune underfoot and using them ever so often in the park was fine. They are so much fun on rails and what not tho, so light and snappy.

Thanks for weighing in bro, yea that doesnt sound like a good choice for park given the cost and the performance out side the park. Its a shame companies dont beef up the underfoot area.

Thanks for the info, maybe I can score a cheap used pair so it won't hurt as much. Seems like a ski that everyone who has it loves it

Yea i chose it over the Rustler 9 bcs the rustler starts to chatter over 50, Playmaker not so much.
 
Though only 4 and a half skis are actually in decent condition…

Ski conditions aside all them pivots worth a grip ? good shit bro
Click to expand...

Only 3 pairs of pivots I own still pass tests but in parts there is still value I suppose. I’d guesstimate all of them combined to be worth about a thousand maybe. Still love keeping relic set ups like the HGs, shot bindings and skis ready to snap missing 30% edge content. The black ON3Ps (mag 90s) are the same scenario but missing 60% of edge instead…

the black 9s!!

This is a sick setup, also those pants look fire.
Click to expand...

The black 9’s are in process of snapping in the tip, limited days left on them :(

still the craziest ski I’ve ever rode, so flexible in the tip & tail yet can stomp if you land bolts

Love the pants, copped them at the thrift store in the Bridgerwater Mill near Killington back in Vermont, they have bunch of embroidered skiers & skis on em, super dank
