Man that was fast, 10 days from order to at my door! Thanks Guys :biggrin:
They look great and feel burly.
Calgary mags, where to get binders mounted?
Anyone know of a good deal on Mojo 15's?

mojos. coulier in canmore?
mounting. where you buy the bindings should do it for free?
Hey Mtnlion your not there (in Banff) anymore? You were my first thought.
These Bros don't have a boot center mark. I was hoping to find someone who has worked on them before.
You can base them on last years boot center (search for the thread here), or wait a bit for Splat and the gang to do on-snow testing to verify the new boot center.Quote:

Keep us updated on your thoughts on mounting point etc. I got this year's supers too but I won't have a chance to ride them until Feb so I'd love to hear your feedback. FWIW I'd personally wait until pmgear advises on a mount point, or if you can't wait I'd move back 2cm from last year's point. Ask splat etc - I'm sure they've got some thoughts.Quote:

The geometry of the ski changed slightly this year, so we wanted to test them out before we committed to endorsing a particular mounting spot.
I just tested the BROs out today for the first time this season on packed, groomed, and icy runs. I mounted demo bindings on last year's boot center mounting mark. In my opinion, and the opinion of two other skiers who skied them today, this spot was perfect. (Those skiers - feel free to chime in if you like).
Boot center was 40 and 5/8" from the center of the tip. Keep the tape straight to measure--don't bend the tape to conform to the profile of the ski.
If you're at all worried about tip-dive, you may want to go back 1cm or so from that spot. Others have always preferred a bit farther back mounting. But IMHO, the skis feel perrrrrfect at 40 and 5/8".
If you can wait, and want to be particularly cautious, I encourage you to wait until after Splat gets them on snow and to give his opinion.
I can wait a week or 2. I have to find some binders first anyway.
I will definatley post my opinion once I start skiing them.
I can't wait! :cool:
Pray for snow!
BTW, although I am completely biased, the BROs are so much fun to ski, even in the current conditions. It's amazing that a fat ski can be so fun to rail on hardpack groomers. T
I think SkiingBear said it best "they're like Cadillacs".
waiting oh so patiently.........
Six weeks on the road. Home now. Got in at 5 am.
Bros start arriving right behind me this next week.
Testing for optimum boot center at mammy on Sunday.
Welcome home Splat! Can't wait to get my grubby little hands on my BROs
splat, i will be at Mammoth on sunday, so mebbe I can pickup my bro's from you there if it's not inconvenient? or will you not have any unmounted Stiffs with you ?
i'll PM you.
it's dumping rain hard at 6300 feet in tahoe right now. however things are supposed to cool off and turn to snow.
Welcome home.
Great job!!
I gots 500 emails to read. A shitload of snailmail behind that. And the first batch of Bros just arrived. I'll start dealing with orders and correspondence Monday. 4 hours sleep in two days, so I need to chill a 'lil.
Thanks to MD9 for the JetBlue tix. Got anymore, MD?
hmmmmm. I am so jazzed for the day these arrive at my door. Get some sleep, Splat, then crank those planks out the door.
