Bigger Bro Model

At the moment this is just theoretical. But there is a good chance of a prototype being made in early fall and if there is interest the powers at be may even make a few. More than one person has asked for a Bigger Bro. Longer? Wider? Stiffer? Well what would you like to see?. Here is my first sketch. I am thinking not too wide as this is a Monster Mountain charger not a floaty powder board. Stiffness wise I'd say 10-20% more than a squad - A realy balls to the wall only ski! Tell me what you would like to see different.

a little less sidecut, and a version that isn't stiffer than iron for sub 150lb skiers
Better yet, add 2 mm to the old nordica w105 and make it 200cm long and a bit stiffer, i would buy that!
Oh, and can we roll with the flat squared off tail this time, on a ski like this there is no need for a twin tip, AT ALL!
And please make it at least 195, in a perfect world 196-199 cm long.
Or better yet, 197 cm long, flat squared tail, 130-108-119.

Thats super sick. i love the idea and id definetly get myself a pair!
:yourock: :yourock:

too much sidecut IMVHO

edit- "way too much" is too strong a phrase in a 205.

same tip/tail but with a 110mm+ waist

I'm bored so I will comment. What you are proposing I do not see (For me)

I have been sking on 194 LP's That size ski is Big burly but managable.
I think this is all the ski I will need and do not see myself going bigger.

I think I might like a Bigger BRO. at 5,10 and 190lbs I would like to see somthing between 195 and 200 in length, same under foot same tail as the 188 Bro but I would like to see a slightly wider Tip and a tip that is turned up more.

I see myself maching the steeps on that ski! But still able to play on the rest of the mountain.

140-115-132 is the shape I want.

Medium-stiff progressive flex (starts easy but ramps up fast). Semi-twinned. Wood core. 187 length.

that design is a truely sack up ski. jebus, 205 and 10-20% MORE then a Squad. I probably would still get one, but would absofuckingloutly love to see a pure wide poweder ski. Like the same stiffness as the regular bro stiff and 195cm total and 115+ at the waist, with little sidecut.

IMO, 205 is way long. If you have to have a monster, how about two sizes? 185/195? And how about you have two flexes? Medium/Stiff? Also, widen up the waist an extra 5 mm. That is alot of sidecut. I would love for you guys to make this ski, and if it is short enough (185-190), semi twinned, atleast 110 waist, and a medium flex available, you WILL have my bussines. I'm already have my everyday ski figured out, but for my charging/pow board is still up in the air. I would love to rock some bros.

Waist to 115
Length should be about 193 and probably a 187 or so as well

shut up you short ski pussies.

I would have to say go with the 110-15 waist, or if you stay with the 105 have a 130 tip and 120 tail. I think you should do 110 or more since that the current bro has a 99 mm waist so that would not be much of an increase. Definitly I'm down just a slight sidecut.

I think adam has it right.
Offer 185 / 195.
Medium Sploder stiffness
Stiff Squad +10% stiffness
115mm wait and give it a Pow+ sidecut with Bro Construction = SEX
oh yea, maybe a longer shovel, slightly longer tail, and 0 camber

should come in a 185/195 :confused:

Who doesn’t want to ski a double-wide Super-G board in challenging terrain. Its summer, so its time to dream (and wildly exaggerate one’s abilities).

short ski pussies that's who.

I love the 205!
I would also like less side cut, 110 - 115 waist, same tip, maybe 5mm wider in the tail.

when i first saw this thread i thought 'sounds great, but how does it fit with the current quiver of 193 m103s, big daddies, and old 198 G-41s?'

but screw it, put me down for a pair!

its sad that nobody has the sack to ski square and flat tails these days either. make that fucking thing a true 205.

yeah, in a ski like this you aren't gonna be going backwards anywhere.
