What are you wanting in a "proggressive ski"?

With all these new shape skis such as the Armada ARG, K2 Hellbent, Lib Tech NAS with magnatraction, Line EP Pro, Moment Reno Rocker etc, with wavy sidecuts, reverse camber, rockered tips and tails there are a lot of new shapes evolving in skis these day.

What do you want in a "proggressive ski"? What kind of skis do you think would really progress skiing? Such as things like magnatraction for better hold in icy pipes, rockered skis in the park for more proggressive butters being combined into tricks etc?
 
ep pro in all different sizes (diff length and maybe dif sidecut)... its a perfect ski... i also heard that the banana board will offer 3 different rocker levels.. kind of a cool concept
 
magni-traction on every ski made pretty much

such a nice feature....specially on a park ski....idk how it does on rails

but sidewalls are super durrable
 
100mm underfoot, symmetrical, buttery as baked bread but still with some pop, rockered, and with a picture of me on it
 
87 waist, tons of camber, are stiffer park ski. symetrical would be nice too. basically a slightly wider addict with less sidecut and a little stiffer.
 
narrowish underfoot, like 75-80.

not too much side cut, i don't need to lay out slalom carves on these fuckers

super light

tons of pop (fairly stiff but keep in mind i way 130 so mid stiff)

symmetrical (mounted true centre).

strong edges and fast bases

killer graphics
 
A progressive ski for me would have

-fat waist and dimensions

-rockered

-twin

-and a decent turning radius

so im going for the rossignol S7, 145-115-123

the turning radius is 18 metres believe it or not, the thing is rockered, and the tail isnt that different from the wiast besides the fact that its rockered.

I talked to Dan treadway about the ski, he says that they made it so it can still hold an edge on grooomers and what not
 
-Built in Altimeter, GPS, and LCD touchscreen
-Grenade launcher
-Klister wax slick function (to slow down pursuers)
-graphics should change color as the temp changes, kind of like those old "hypercolor" t-shirts
-hollow bindings that also function as canteens
-pop-out hang glider wings for clearing really big gaps

 
115 waist

182 length

symetrical

like a 50mm up/ 50 cm inwards rocker

eliptical side cut

basically a bacon that's really rockered...
 
ummmm super rocor'd snowblades or 210 strait k2's that have blinking lights when you hop or hit some turbulence
 
I think a good progressive ski should be pretty fat so you have something to land under when learning new tricks and buttery as fuck at the same time to get the feel of nose butters and shit. Then just give it the same exact graphics as the THALL pro so hella kids buy it. Damn i should start a business, golden
 
115 wide

172 length

rockered shit

hellbent stiffness

poppy

indistructable

nice sidecut

racer base

this ski would be for fooling around in pow .

then i would want a charging ski and park ski
 
PARK

-butterzone tech

-edge armour

-stiff underfoot

-flexy tips

-75mm underfoot

-race bases

-wood core

-sandwich con.

BIG MTN./ POW

- stiff as tnk

- mini rocker

- 120 mm underfoot

-wood core

-twin tip

-built in light weight avi beacon

 
Might want to reconsider that one.....

Unless of course you want the rescuers to spend 20 minutes digging for your ski that ripped off, while you lay buried 100 feet away....
 
i agree. i break so many fucking skis, i was wondering the other day: if someone made a like super-titanium edge indestructible park ski that couldnt ever snap or lose edge or anything, but was just like a regular park ski, like an ar6 or something, how much would you pay for it? a grand? 1500? more?

i mean, i've spent so much money on skis that break...
 
I think the next step is in the durability of park skis for people who hit rails and boxes. Edges are cracking and derailing way to easily. I wonder if ski companies really even want to make more durable skis, since they would sell less. They need much thicker Stronger edges underfoot or something.
 
Park ski would be something like this....

173 length

90-95 waist

ollieband (lots of pop)

butterzone

strong edges

Pow ski.....

178 length

120 waist

ligthweight

Lots of pop again

mini rocker
 
the piezoelectric fibers also helped dampen vibrations.

Head Intelligence skis and tennis racquets have the same stuff just without the gimmicky blinking lights (Which would be awesome).
 
twin tip

flexy

symmetrical sidecut

light

good edges

fatty base and edge

narrow

thats why im getting invaders
 
park -

super stiff everywhere untill about a foot in front of the nose piece where it should get a little buttery

178

118-80-118

pow -

softer in the tips and tail but really stuff under foot

178

135 - 110 - 135
 
sidecut desinged to be mounted forward

super light bindings possibly ski blade wire bindings

elliptical side cut

butter zones
