    I'm curious what folks have to say about woo 2.0 as well. I'm on a pair of 1.0? and love em, but I'm confused about all this tail rocker/stability talk. My understanding is that woo 1.0 has less tail splay than than the protest, however when I compare my woo to my protests there is definitely more tail splay on the woo, its plainly obvious. Anyone else actually have current protests and woos to verify?

    So I to answer your question...no I haven't skied it. My guess is that it is very similar to the 1.0, which is VERY similar to the protest minus whatever percent float and whatever percent better for walking.

      Whoa. Talk about timing.

      Keith just got in touch with me yesterday and it sounds like he was getting a few pairs pressed. They might be ready today. But no, I haven't skied them. It's still dirt season.

      But I'm pretty much vibrating with anticipation. I don't want to quote any numbers before he gets the pdf up. The rough idea is:

      1) more tapered tip, IE: less squared off

      2) tip contact point/wide point slightly more forward

      3) more tail splay/rocker

        It sure does look sweet. I like the look of the new tip, kind of like the ehp.

          Yeah, those are looking good. What's the beta on getting them lighter. I remember some people in the Woo thread saying they were getting ones in the sub 9 pound range, with light top sheets and such. Can he go full carbon?

                I think mine from last year were about a cunt hair shy of 9lbs with the glass topsheet. Nothing special or particularly 'weight savings' about the layup.

                    I'll weigh them as soon as I can. A 'lighter than advertised' praxis ski isn't unheard of.....

                    4lbs may be pushing it but everyone involved in this project wants a bomber ski before a rando racer.

                    I'll post up the finished weight when I get them.

                      I just looked at the updated pic on the praxis site. New tip shape & top sheet look awesome!

                        yeah well.... I didn't want to be part of your gang anyway. So there.

                        [8.5 a pair would be ok].

                          So how would the woo be different than my ON3P Billy Goats?

                            Have you looked at the dims? Really a completely different concept.

                              Are you getting some big ones, or little ones? I'd be interested in both weights.
