prophets vs nothing

just wondering... but where the hell would you ever find snow so deep that you need a ski that 130mm wide?

O yes, you can ski backcountry is syracuse ny

exactly i mean there prolly only a handfull of ppl on this site that would actualy put good use to the prophets.

 
Those would be sweet for a place like Baker. 1140 inches of snow requires a ski that big. Such a sick west coast ski.

 
prophets are usless, i mean how good of a skier are you if you need a ski like that? probably not very, it's getting to the point where people are relying to much on there equipment instead of there own skill and talent

Seize the carp
 
Prophets are not retarded for my AK soul

weekdays are for healing your back and neck after hucking hard on the weekend
 
i could see need for them dropping a cliff into deep powder, or if the snow is deeper than you are tall. but id give em a go.

 
i would never buy them but i soooooo wanna try them

why is this thread called Prophets vs nothing? just wondering.

and you guys are kinda missing the point of the prophets. 'where the hell would you find snow so deep that you need a ski thats 130mm wide?' you wouldnt. the prophet wasnt made because Pollard NEEDED a ski that wide to ski some really deep pow. line made it to push the limits of ski design, much like what volant did with McConkey's spatula idea. its all progression. true, pretty much everyone on this site wouldnt even be able to begin to put them to good use. thats why they're not mass producing them and selling them to the public. what some of you guys are saying right now is pretty much the same thing that people were saying when shaped skis came out. its all about pushing the sport to new limits.

i guess the question is when is to much and how far is the industry and customers willing to let it change with radical designs like the prophet

Seize the carp
 
when will they stop going wider?

I have a theory that all retards have one long tendon that goes from wrist to wrist, so therefore that is why they always are screwin around with one wrist up, and the other one down.

 
Papa, they arent selling the prophet. so customers have nothing to do with it in this case.

The Idea behind the prophets is to get the floatation of a snowboard, The Prophets are 130mm in the waist which is 13cm, a snowboard thats fairly wide is around 26cm in the waste, and you have two skis and one snowboard. That equals the surface are of a snowboard, and a little more cause skis are longer and the sidecut of four edges instead of two.

I think the idea is feasable, just not to the majority of skiers. I think they should sell some to the public though, cause i would like to try them, and im sure many others would too.

 
^so then why don't you just snowboard? i think it's gay, if you want that floaty surfy feeling then snowboard, skiing is about getting right in the snow

Seize the carp
 
Well, not everyone wants to sink in powder, Pollard doesnt. He wants to have the floatation of a snowboard, without having to snowboard. Saying skiings not about that is like saying to an alpine race snowboarder'If you want to race, race on skis, snowboardings not about racing'

 
if you think aobut it its not hat much bigger thene like fisher bigstix 106's like 2.4 sentimeters? thats not too much, and my dad is an Hcore skier and he loves his fishers for catskiing

I think they'd be pretty sweet. I love my pistols but I'd love to try AKs and Spatulas and Phophets, it'd be sick.

I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day
 
CalgaryJibber 2.4 centimeters not that much difference? hahah are you serious. then basically you're saying theres not much difference between a general groomer carving ski and the Seth Pistols. 2.4 cm width is a HUGE difference. if the ski is 185 cm long then thats an added 444 cm squared of surface area per ski.

actually skndestroy it's only 118 at the waist....and the ''waist'' is more like the thigh because you mount the bindings so far back on those fockers.....good luck going switch though

thats exactly where their not going into production. Pollard needed a ski to really pull out his full potential ANYWHERE he went. Gotta give Line credit for stepping up and building him the ski he wanted. Look at 4frnt, Stenbentz started that because Fischer wouldnt make the ski he wanted, same with Steele and Atomic. Even though nobody (myself included) on this site would ever put these things to use, its a good thing they exist just for the hell of it.

The prophets are so sick, I was able to ski on them during the intermountain demo for shops. They took so much work to turn,they just wanted to go staright. but surprisingly they are pretty nimble. they harldy turn. They only time anybody woud need this ski if they wanted to ski in norway, so they could ski down to the fjords and then waterski to another location.

 
teh prophets are nothing. db ski out of switzerlant or something has soemthing called the Tablarasa that is 148 in the tip and has a swallowtail. carbon fiber core too. really spendy, like$900

you guys are ill informed. go to biglines.com and watch the LINE segment of video for the vagas ski show thing. the guy says that the ski is going into production, just that its going to be in VERY limited quantities, so im sure if you really want a pair then you can get one, but your going to be looking for a while.

Titanya: But Duff Man, you said if I slept with you I wouldn't have to touch the drink!

Duff Man: Duff Man... says a lot of things! Oh, yeah!
 
Its good to hear they're actually going into limited production. But shit, 135mm, thats even wider than i thought. Those things dont even look like they have any sidecut.

 
haha, oh shit. i will never be able to use those things. but if i get really rich, im gonna buy some and use htem on groomers and just float on the snow.
