    2011/12 gear rumor mill.... yup

    11/12 black diamond ski spotted about halfway through this video (the orange ones). looks really similar to the megawatt protos i saw kicking around the bird late last season. tapered tip, new cnc construction.

    Legend Pro "replacement" = fatter Sultan 94. Same construction but 105mm waist, maybe a tad more early rise in the tip and a tad less sidecut.

      I heard a rumor from a reputable source about the Gigawatt, a longer, stiffer, less rocker in the tail Megawatt..? I think its a mid-season release.

        megawatt had no tail rocker. it was a big floppy donkey dick though.
        Perhaps you'd be more comfortable on epicski or Paula's Ski Lovers, AltaNancy.

          I was kind of drunk when I heard it...

          The story I heard was about a few requests by BD telemark athletes for a bigger/longer/stiffer version of the Megawatt. Apparently the brass at BD listened after a few years of hounding.

            true, but the flex is almost identical to an f2 lotus 120

                prototypes of the 4Frnt YLE






                No word on sizes yet that I have heard of, but I think a 185 is in the mix somewhere.

                          Heard about the Armada VJJ. Say it with me...vee-jay-jay. It's for chicks, not dicks.
