Those skis aren't bent.....

[Fashion_Geek]

Look at the picture close. Those are AK enemy's (Maiden AK), with an early rise tip and tail. K2 was doing that for Pep as well. But Line was the first to do it for Pollard.

 

[Fashion_Geek]

my bad my work computer just added that pick for fun......

Let me see if I can get the right pick up.

 

[-benedetto]

wtf?

 

[Fashion_Geek]

[mattwalker]

yo man... thats a helmet... just because the FUJATIVES have a shadown under them doenst mean they are pre bent for pep...

 

[Fashion_Geek]

Look at the link and tell me those are early rise tips...

 

[skiierman]

They kind of look like skis to me man, but whatever floats your boat.

 

[telestar6]

THose are 06-07 Maidens which have reverse camber just like the volant spatulas use to have.

 

[Mr.Bishop]

 

[DannyMac]

yup

 

[DeSena]

wait so is it bent or made like that

 

[Fashion_Geek]

Nope....

http://k2skis.com/k2factoryteam/ski.asp?ProductID=19

Nothing here about reverse camber. And look at what they are calling them....

 

[Ski^^bum]

its made like that

 

[Fashion_Geek]

No it is not... They only did it for some of there pro's...

 

[Ski^^bum]

ya, but there not bent from hitting something. k2 made them like that.

 

[freeskier53]

have you ever hear of barrel distortion? on a camera the madens are early tipped but not the fujatives

 

[[~_~]]

^barrel distortion.....telephoto? what are you saying boi?

 

[DannyMac]

it is made like that

but like you said only for some pro's

there is a pic with seth with a pair

 

[TWoods]

No, that's not true.

I was told by Benchetler that they were made reverse camber for Pros only.

 

[timmi]

looks to me like he may just be holding the skis crooked

 

[TWoods]

No, like I just said, I talked to Benchetler, the person in that picture, with the same pair of skis he is holding in that pic strapped to his feet. They are a limited run, reverse camber, for Pros only.

 

[creighton]

i think hes not holding them directly next to eachother  like this  \/ but less intense and it makes it appear that they are bent... look at the edges. they kinda look like they are going at an angle 

 

[creighton]

hm.. after further investigation i take back everytthing i said

 

[TWoods]

GAAGGGGG everyone read my post above. I have seen that exact pair of skis from the picture less than 5 feet away from me. They are reverse camber, issued only to pros.

 

[TWoods]

Didn't see this.

 

[FUUUCK]

REVERSE CAMBER YOU FOOLS! and only the pros got to use them, though a lot of people want k2 to relese them to the public

 

[garettnorthey]

tjis is from pep on chrises myspaceude! Are you going to come to New Zealand? Get your ass in gear and come shred the

reverse maidens!!!

notice this part ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Goddamn those would be fun to ride...

 

[poofartpee]

ok so it makes it easy to ride powder thanks for that

 

[Ski^^bum]

arnt the pontoons reverse camber

 

[TWoods]

Yes, but this thread is about Made'ns.

 

[a.beezy]

k2 makes any/most of the skis reverse camber for the team

wooooohoo

 

[[~_~]]

Does anyone else think Benchetler looks like Sean Penn?

 

[mavric1298]

haha not really, funny though....its his Myspace picture

 

[CHARLES.BRONSON]

yeah cause reverse camber pe's and fujatives would just kill it.................................................................................................

................................

 

[Mossko]

On the K2 formus Seth said he has some expeimental madens which are reverse camber. Not all the team have them only seth according to him. There not for sale as the are not versatile as they make edge grip minimal. However seth said he had them instead of Pontoons.

 

[manuel87]

zag did that before line

 

[a.beezy]

i didn't say all, i said most

 

[TheStamos]

Word.

 

[Mahre]

not only seth has then.

 

[poofartpee]

i never said those skis were bent

 

[C.J.]

The real question is, why did you post my pic of my helmet? WTF?

 

[CooksCorner]

Could someone explain to me what the benefit of reverse camber is?

 

[C.J.]

^a skis shaped like the spatula is revers camber. Shaped like a water ski.

 

[m1garand]

what's the point of having the tips bent up like that? seems like they would just chatter like shit at high speeds.

 

[nothanks]

Reverse camber. Made for team riders of K2. That ski is the AK. Period.

 

[m1garand]

i thought reverse camber had to do with the sidecut of the ski and not the tips...

 

[C.J.]

^it does.

 

[MNS]

thats a steezy toque and goggles, i have the same ones in neon green with mirror lenses

 

[Nivrittam]

bent for sure

 

[Tha_Grouch]

one is at a slight angle. I think thats pretty obvious.
