Sir Francis Bacon -- For those that Bought them...

I think they're shipping end of sept... should arrive in early October.. But I could be wrong. Either way... it'll be soon.
 
what do you guys think the bacons would be like for ridin on groomers? and some occasional 3-6 inch fresh? i know the dimensions are not exactly ideal, but wondering if i should spend my $$$ the bacons
 
cuz i hear they are a super fun ski, and im like 6'1'' and the Lizs seem a little short, wonderin if 182 would be a better height? insight please
 
depends on your weight and what you want, if your like 150-160 and under then lizzies would work good, if your over 150-160 bacons would probably be better, and inbetween 150 and 160 you could go for either. bacons seem to be more for powder riding and bc jumps and obviously bigger riders. lizzies are more for bc jibbing, bc jumps, and park, cause they are easier to throw around and have a slightly different sidecut so they turn alittle quicker. so still not much difference between them both are good in pow.

and remember that pollard designed them to ski more like a snowboard with snowboard like sidecut and all and snowboards are short, so if you think 172 is too short, its designed to be that way.
 
Its funny how people that shouldn't even consider these skis want them just because pollard rides em. Proof the man really sells skis.
 
why do you got to be gettin fresh man? its just a question, and id get them because they are different than any other ski, not because " pollard rides em" its a different kind of ride, you know?
 
and why wouldnt i consider gettin them? cuz they are too wide for the conditions i ski? what ev's ive got some positive info, thanks fellow skiers!
 
actually i've ridden elizabeths for two years now and they're really fun on groomeres, they feel totally different than other skis but they hold an edge like woah compared to other fat skis.  they're a really great all around ski in groomers, crud, pow and park.  i think for a bigger guy he'd probably be able to have the same kind of fun on bacons.

 
yeah, seriously, i bought them because they were different. if i

bought new skis i wanted something that would be radically different

than my original pollards, not just a different length and flex. i

ended up loving them. they are bar none the most fun pair of skis i

have ever been on. they are super light, ski switch amazingly because

they are almost symmetrical, and carve like a slalom ski on groomers.

they are pretty much my ideal ski, if only they were a little more

stable at speed and going through really chopped up snow.
 
i am getting antsy in my pantsy for my bacons to come. it was a kick in the nuts when i found out pj online wasn't going to get them in and i had them pre ordered from them.
