    Why no love for the Big Dumps?

    It's been hard to find much information on the Dynastar Big Dumps, and what little I've come across makes them sound not all that great. Something about to stiff or not enough rocker blah, blah, blah.

    You have just probably answered your own question.

          They just havn't dumped enough of them on SAC yet. Once they flood the market at SAC blow out pricing you'll see tons of talk on here.

            I haven't seen them below $900 retail anywhere online and have never seen them in a shop. A fat XXL with rocker would be money though.

              A hand flex in the shop (sierra ski and snowboard in sacramento) shows these to be considerably stiffer than the XXL.

                    Big Dumps

                    Skied mine today in boot to knee deep up on Teton Pass. They fucking rip!!!!!!!!! Couldn't get them to dive. Just blasted through everything. Me 5'10" 200#. Mounted with Axl's Floats great. Stable at high speeds. Smears small turns as well. Will build large legs and lungs as a touring ski. Going to ski them somemore tomorrow and maybe this weekend at Jackson. After a few more days I will write a longer, more thorough report

                      I skied them today at Squaw- waist deep. They are stiff, burly, and like to float. Did West Face in 4 turns. Never did that on any other ski. VERY FAST!

                          i think they dont get talked about in part because they are tough to find. Canada only got 200 pairs and even those were difficult to track down. whoever said they are soft, they are not.

                            Nothing wrong with a big dump. Sometimes they just feel natural.

                              200? more like 60 altogether after pillaging some from the USA after xmas...
                              one problem with race room skis is they don't make a lot....
                              if anyone in Alberta/East kootenays needs some PM me and will send you your closest dealer with inventory.....
