187 cenitmicmeters
I'm guessing that's with the stock flex. What's the stiffness like?
Just got a mail from Keith. The graphics change was done after they where done pressing the production run. My med/stiff taxicab wootwos are shipping on monday wohoo!
It's a 'medium +'Quote:

HTF do a pair of 187 WooTests with 113mm waist end up LIGHTER than my 192 Yetis with a 94mm waist?Quote:

4 lb 7 oz each for my woo 1.0 @ 187cm.
As you mentioned in the praxis thread, their weights are exactly even as well.
My Woo 1.0 are 4 lb 8 oz per ski at 187 cm/stiff/ultralight topsheet
Im super stoked for this ski, got a pair coming. Lets post some pics. I have powder boards, protests, and replacing my ehp touring rig with the woo 2.0. Praxis skis are bomber.. USA
Interlesting.Quote:

You guys usually get snow before us so you and anyone in CO who gets a pair............we're countin on ya :DQuote:

Just an update on weights. swapped some bindings tonight and reweighed the skis on my postal scale. Bare 187 wootests with binding freemdom inserts are 2022g and 2033g respectively per ski. or ~4lb 7.3oz. stiff/ultralight topsheet
That's not too shabby, especially considering the size of the ski.Quote:

For their differences, are these skis about the same type of skiing?
Hohes, I should get time on both this winter, but can't say anything until the snow flies.
New Woo 2.0s arrived yesterday. Damn they're sexy.
I don't have a scale but they feel pretty light for the size (187s). I wouldn't doubt the shade under 9 lbs others are touting above. Mine are medium flex and still pretty damn stout. The stiffer layups must be f'in stiff.
The tips/tails are rounded and very low profile. Minimal camber, 1 mm max. My protests have more camber. Compared to my protests from last year the Woos have more tail splay (but about the same amount of tail rise). Widest point in the tip is definitely a few inches further forward on the woos compared to the protests.

Protests on the right, Woos on the left:

I was looking at those and kind of thinking the same thing. The Hoji is continuous reverse camber so I imagine it wouldn't skin as well but maybe feel a little more loose in the deep. It'll probably be heavier than the wootest. But it looks like a lot of the same goals for sure.Quote:

wow those look hot. Looking forward to reading reviews and maybe adding to my herd.:biggrin:
One of the 2.0 changes is more tail rocker than the original...Quote:

I was just fondling the Hoji and was struck with how appealing the stick was, especially the tail. Don't know why I got a boner over the tail, but I did. Would prefer a longer contact area like the Woo for skinning, agreed. Pointless romance, can't afford either, let alone the bindings to go on them.Quote:

It's hard to tell much in really light snow since pretty much all skis work in that stuff but they're definitely a different ski than version 1.0. Moving the sidecut forward underfoot was the right call for sure. I deliberately went down some churned up shit from the machines driving around the mountain and could tell right away some of the feeling of the entire ski and sidecut being behind you is gone. Pretty stoked so far with nothing to really bitch about.
Just incredibly pleased that these are made by praxis because I fucking nailed some pointy volcanic rock more than once. :D
Just a few scratches.
Anybody else get some time on 'em yet?
Awesome! Sounds like a step in the right direction.
