Seth Pistols - app. 192cm

in running lenth yes. not not in height. i measured my k2's and height was 179 but if u put a tapemeasure down it its about 183Quote:

I will put my 79 SPs and 83 Goats back to back and let you know. This assuming the SP and SV have the same length.
If I line up my 185 race stock GS skis where the green side wall material ends{twin begins} on my 189 Vicious. The GS boards are aprox 2/3 cm longer! Id say at the absolute longest pushing it, the Vicious's are comparable to a 185 minus the twin.
For a reference on total length my 190 Nordica FFs are about 1cm maybe 2cm shorter than the Vicious tip to tail.
looks like the vicious lengths are neither running length nor total length, so the 189s are running length 184-5 and total length 192. interesting. i imagine that the 179s are 182 ish and 175ish running length, dallas i wonder if the 179 pistols still have a longer running length than the 183 gots?
Me 6' 2" and aboug 192 lbs
I posted on the 179 SV elsewhere. I love it for a one quiver ski. I took it and my 180 Explosiv to Mammoth in July and Chile in August and skied the Vicious most of the time.
Crud, heli powder, bumps, tight chutes..heck, I even ran gates and placed.
I am gettting the 189 too. Why? I'm a pig and for super high speed and straight lining I can't hurt. But for everday go with the 179.
That's my humble opinion.
Just putting them base to base and eyeballing them, I would say definitely not. Although the difference in length (height) is clearly less than the claimed 4 cms, the shovel and twin of the SP have a longer upsweep than that of the Goats. This is especially true in the tail, where the Volkl is much more sharply flared. Which I guess argues for a more centered mount on the SP/Vs... I'll post pics when I find my upload cord (if you want).Quote:
