I think they look perfect as is for a wide daily charger. The 189 may be a tad short for bigger guys, but not by that much, and that will probably increase the fun factor.
All in the family... It is really starting to get to me seeing these every day just sitting... I usually am not jonesing this bad this early for the season to start...
Def looking forward to seeing the pics of all the new boards being delievered...

^^^ superb quiver! (looks a little bit like mine) and nice clean storage setup too.
Yes, very nice looking quiver. You've set the bar high for those of us still sneaking packages into the basement.
But I'm in the Rx is perfect as-is club -- 40cm of tip rocker, 5mm of camber, and all the rest of its finely tuned features.
Thanks boyz... And to funny as last year I was not buying any Praxis and than Keith dropped the Q... I had already picked up 2 new boards for the year... Thanks to a killer buzz I talked myself into the Q and hid them from my wife until we were on vaca... I do not recommend this as she did some revenge spending while on our ski trip...

What are each of those skis? Thats a good shot for a comparison.
Also whats the rack you are using? Looks like it works well?
Wonder what a ccr rx would ski like?

wish I''d gone for OG screaming bear rather than veneer.
For appearance sake or is the veneer not withstanding the same degree of abuse that nylon can endure?Quote:

My experience with hardwood veneers has been nothing but good. Light, great feel, and so far quite durable. My hardwood GPOs have seen moderate use over a season and a half & look great.Quote:

I prefer the appearance of the non-veneer.
192 Enduro protest with birds eye Veneer - vice versa graphic (on the left). Turned out amazing. Now I'm reconsidering my choice of Jamaican lion for Quixote over Wall graphic.

I love the looks of my bamboo Qs, but less than impressed with the durability... They scratch and nick very easily and are seen very easily compared to the std topsheet... If and when I buy another pair of Praxis I am going non wood veneer...Quote:

I cant wait for my skinny Q's!
Or you could stop banging your skis together like a gaper. Just sayin'.

I yanked the blue tape after a minute or three - before curing/setting got too far along - so it just peeled off with no hassle. Worked like a champ. Cured down nice and tight and sealed everything up. You'd never know unless you knew.
Keith and I talked about this afterward and he said he'd been thinking about some kind of oil to water seal that kind of stuff on the bamboo. Not sure if it ever went anywhere or if he ever settled on anything.
As previously noted, I am not a fan of the bamboo. But the hardwood is great - I would not hesitate to get it again.
Holy heck!Quote:

It's stoopid hard to tell first timers to chill, but it really is that. I have some in my family that every preseason order they act like someone is tryin to fuck em when they don't get em way before due date. It is what it is and it's always worth the wait. Never understood why it's so important to get them before the snow starts to fly???Quote:

Monochrome definitely looks the best with veneer. However some whites don't "print" as true clear on the veneers.Quote:

I'd bet most skis people ordered before the original deadline will ship this month.
Depending on the graphic's design and the type of original artwork file Keith has for it, you can pick and choose to some degree which sections are and aren't printed, as well as possibly changing the color of sections that are very clearly defined (like the word Praxis on some of the designs).
Like on the viceversa, I asked Keith to not print any of the tan or light grey sections. If he had printed those it would look different/darker in those sections. The Praxis logo on mine was printed though
