All I know is they were orange. Or at least I think they were orange, it could have been a pinkish hue with a dash of peach.

I think they are pretty much the same as the inspired nobis model, with the 89 waist and all. I saw a pair at daniel lachance in tremblant, pretty neat and hyper stiff. They had all the fun skis I wanted.
That's hyper rad! And since we know that Tremblant is the capital of Eastern pow-pow, especially this year, I could see how having a bunch of fat skis would make sense. Silly French Canadians.Quote:

Spyder calls their orange papaya ... would you say the skis you saw CantDog were papaya?
fully half my days have been pow days this year, so I'm not complaining. Plus its neat to see pow skis for once, since the closest thing the shops around me have are old jerry launchers they're trying to pawn of for 650 bucks. You guys don't have to hog ALL of the good stuff ;)Quote:

Lachance does have some sweet sticks...the new Legends, Spatulas, Explosivs, Gotamas, and even a pair of the Sanouks kickin around. Definately a beast shop.

it does make sense, its my ski locker.
the 186 AKpro should with a 97mm waist should be in this week. i will probably ride them for a couple weeks and then sell them for food beer and gas money before the end of the season. not for public. it took hell fo me to have a pair. the have the same orangy- color as the legends 8000 witch a in and the pro witch is a s-nobis. legends 8000 (alt of arnapruna) are in and look just like a fuckin surfboard. i don't get it.
i know i should make a new thread about this but its way more fun here. and i don't really feel like reading all the posts see if someone wrote about this somewhere else i've been away for too long. i will look less dumb if so tanbien
the k2 apache Chief will replace their xp-ak whatever
kahuna will turn into the sick AK MADEN, graphics slitghly different then the ones we saw earlier somewhere, pair already ordered this will be my chile ski !
eh.....rumors of b4 in last shipment of rossi skis will be confirmed this week....i can't even sleep because of this one
b3 stays same for next year. scratch bc gets a cosmetic facelift. will ride them on wednesday will try to catch pics of em.
eh ? what else. oh. sanouks for everybody as the ski will make an official market entry with sick new graphics.....by the way we have a pair on the wall at the shop if ya'd like to make an offer. exxxpensive ass ski.
So after my 6th day sking these I noticed a small bump on the ith edge of the top sheet behind the ski. Couple more days on the Skis and I notice the bump is biger and now there are two bumps. I am able to get my fingernail under the topsheet. Fuck it I just keep sking!!.
Today when I get done I look them over and I have 4 ripples down the edge of the ski.
The good news it that Bobo's will send them in for warrenty Repair? Replacment, even though I bought the skis off the internet. Dave figures I might have them back by NewYears. So I will ski them tommorw and then off they go too?? If I had bought from them from Bobo's I think they would have pulled a pair off the wall and that would have been that.
BTW I am not a big deal Pro Skier, just a middle aged Recreational skier. these skis have not been beaten by most peoples standard. I guess this falls into the (Shit Happens) catigory.
shit I hope so, I just picked a slightly used pair.Quote:

I always assumed it was caused by the other ski edge, but maybe the delam happened first, and the other ski then ripped it off/open. Either way, there is definitely a weak gue bond there.
I have glued down several such bubbles with epoxy. (and sealed some open chips with epoxy also to keep them from spreading and from letting water into the core)
But, I have never bought a pair new, so I didn't do any warranty.
Maybe their presses are squeezing out too much epoxy at the edges?
