Made in Usabased in Beckenbridge (CO). 1, 80cm and 172-140-158 mm. Wood core ans 48 steel edges ABS sidewall. Double spats. "New lengths and new models will be available sometime this year" they said. Check the "Soft goods" link, cool pict! :biggrin:
Sumo was not enough then fat-ypus came... :FIREdevil
Volkl Sumo-esque... but they got beaten with one hell of an ugly stick!
I know these skis are sick, but has anyone actually skied them?
I skied them last year at alta for one run during the late march storm. Pretty big, i personally like 100-105 (squad) under foot so these where huge. Pretty limited useQuote:

I can get in touch with the two designers fairly easily if anyone has some more questions.
The Ogre has been around since last year and is $200 cheaper. 165-123-145
Both of those skis look :rolleyes2 .
That ad looks awful. BTW I think this is spam and not an actual inquiry.
Are you trying to badmouth me?? I was just trying to get some info.
And I think that ad looks aweswome. What kind of a person has a problem with scantly clad hot chicks and super fat skis???
BIG HUCK is a straight up guy - I bought some skis from him this season, and they weren't Fat-ypuses.
Can't say I dig the Fat-ypus name though - when I see it, I don't think of a hottie playing Doctor, I just get unpleasant visions of an obese chick with a huge, hairy, well... http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/puke.gif
That chick isn't hot.Quote:

You guys heard of a little Australian mammal called a platypus? Furry little river-dweller with a duck's bill and webbed feet, about 8" long. Like an Australian version of a beaver. I don't get the link to a ski though.Quote:

In fact, those guys shoulda named the skis Platypus, since they're kinda platypus shaped - instead, you get Fat-ypus and an image of a huge gaping stanky skank.
... and whazzup with A-lotta? That just makes me think of the character from Austin Powers.
