VOLKL SUMO

looks like a mogul/pipe ski to me...

Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get the neat sneakers?!?!

hehehe giggle giggle giggle

 
Spats,prophets, kingswood fats,sumos,icelantics,priors new fats (not 120 wasit, but 154 tip so they fit the category),capital thrasher, capital g-funk,goode carbon spat clone (yu cant find them, but they do exist)

 
think they're over 1200 retail and they're more of an aspen yuppie ski then serious ski.

 
i only know of a few

prophet

sumo

sanuok

theres like 3 different skis by db in the 120+ range

and im shure theres more i jusd dont know of them

bitch!

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
I agree, I don't know of that many skis that are 120mm + in the waist. Maybe over 105mm waist there are more than a bunch to choose from, but not 120mm.

 
i would rather ride the sumo over the prophet volkl shit is indestructable and im not a fan of line

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
r u saying you like to ride fat skis and fat dudes?

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
The reverse camber/sidecut skis are just as capable freestlye-wise in the backcountry as a prophet/traditional style sidecut. My point in saying what i said was to show that prophets are not unique in anyway as many people believe them to be. Skis like them have been being produced by no name companies (most to order non mass market) for a couple of years now.

And the reason i said the trend with fat skis will stop, is because the current binding mounts are nearing their threshold for pressure to the screws, if you have ever mounted a snowboard with ski bindings you would know what i mean. There is a point where the skis become cumbersome and lose performance and feel.

 
^Which brings up a good question -- what binding would you use on the Prophets and/or the Sumo?

I ask cause the day I tried the Elizabeth at the Canyons, the lifties all gave me the dumbest looks about the brake not really being functional.

 
id like to know what the ski on theleft is. it looks like a gotama but fatter & different

-----------------------------------------

if I ever see Shane McConkey, I'm going to point at his skis and go 'Dude, they look like waterskis!' just to keep the trend going.

i want to ride some of the sumos see how they compare to the prophet

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
That ^ would be sick. I would be sweet to have all the big skis the same day to try them all and see which is the best for you personally.

 
^ hopefully sports den gets a pair of the sumos in so i can go stare at them! even though i fucking hate sports den but they have so much shit

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
the ski on the left is definitely not the gotama....its the mantra

Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get the neat sneakers?!?!

hehehe giggle giggle giggle

 
yeah, it's gotta be the Gotama.

I too hate the sports den, but they do have a ridiculus section of twins, so it's hard to beat.

damn them!

 
^ yes sean!

god i have to tel you everything!

sports den would rule if dicks there wouldnt try to convince me that the msp is a park ski and that the ar5s are a more all mountan ski and not good in the park

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
fook....mantras are in the back....my bad

Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get the neat sneakers?!?!

hehehe giggle giggle giggle

 
^^No joke....one of those tools once told me that the 4frnt MSP stood for a compilation between 4frnt and matchstick productions -- hence the MSP.

Isn't that the stupidest thing you've ever heard?

What a bunch of tools.

 
^ hahahaha did you slam it in their face that it's the 'matt sterbenz pro'? hahaha i would have liked to see the looks on their face.

 
the mantra looks pretty sexy. if its like a pistol but as stiff as gotamas, im getting it! (unless its way exxy!)

Mantra's

130-94-113

10mm wider in the shovel than the Explosiv it replaces, just slightly softer flex but stiffer than the Gotama

it addresses all the concerns of people who didn't ski the Explosiv because they thought it was too stiff

the wider shovel initiates turns much more easily and provides a true arc turn

the sidecut makes it much more enjoyable than the Explosiv on trips through hardpack, but the tail doesn't flair as much as many skis with sidecut so it doesn't hook up on steeps

unbelievably stable and damp....a straightliner's dream ski

slight upturn in the tail so you can ride switch but I wouldn't want to land too hard in the backseat (unlike the Gotama which has a much higher tail)

Seth Vicious would be a better true twin tip for the park, the Mantra is for people pointed straight and fast on big mountain environments

^^^ i basically told them the differences between the stl the msp and why they were designed for the purposed they are designed for and what makes them so good for those purposes and the dude was like "yeah that to so either way your getting good deal"

hahhaha what a fuck

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
haha lether doesent chip it tears it would be sick to have you topsheet be all raggity and shit

'skis are like girls , the more you have the better'
 
1410.13 united states dollars. holy fuck that is the most expensive ski i have seen. i could get 2.3 pairs of the seth vicious for that.

 
You have got to be kiddding me. ^ That is so ridiculous, if i see a pair of those i will just burn them. 1400 bucks for skis??!!!

Park City Water Ramps- July 10th-17th

What will you do with your summer?

Girls just don't understand boners...-skifiend

Fuck Stereotypes.

 
That's more than I even thought for the maximum price would be. I trully thought that they would not cost over $1100 USD, but that is absolutely retarded.

NOT worth it.

 
^ yeah volk has such good shit

plus it a 175 it will be a lot funner to ride all over the mountain
