Trigger pulled on FL105s. 🤙Quote:

Unsure about which length of the BC 90 to go for. Planning on getting it as a volcano/big mission ski and am somewhat worried about the 184 being too much for tight spaces and the 177 being a bit under gunned. Will be pairing with Dalbello quantum asolo frees. I'm 6', 180ish and currently on some 175 Ova freebirds in that slot. Any recs?
If we are able to rustle up enough support to press longer FR110's I would love to swap for the bigger sticks!Quote:

No doubt the 185s could find a place in my quiver too with slightly different priorities (or more money;). Approaching 10 days on my 194 FL113s and they’re already in the conversation for fav ski of my time on earth; can’t imagine what a good skier could do with em. Will report back in the Fall if I don’t die.Quote:

4frnt Devastator is the only ski that you could call similar, and probably not easy to find a demo.Quote:

I thought they stopped making them a few years ago? Been trying to find a pair myself...Quote:

The closest I'm aware of shape-wise is the Folsom Primary 110 Shallow RC option. I know Folsom does a lot of demos, but I'm not sure they have the flat camber version in a demo these days.
It’s on their website for this season. But sold out.Quote:

Pretty much was a legend pro/1st cham107 guy before going reverse.
Like WRG said to me, it's like a cheat code. My devs w blast through chop rail groom etc. But when in Billy goat tight shit, can noodle around slide etc. Not hard to adapt to at all.
You'll be stoked on the fr110. It'll do a lot really really well.
^^^ Cool, thanks. This is what I’m expecting.
How does the shape and ride compare to the v werks katana.Quote:

Yes, the raceroom skis have a traditional flex pattern (softer tip and stiffer tail), much less rockered/progressive shapes, and metal laminate. They are also offered in AM (about 7.5 of 10 stiffness) and Comp (about 9 of 10). So they will be cleaner on edge and a bit more traditional feeling in bumps/trees - where the FL is more surfy and loose.
the AM is a precision tool and the Comp is for chargers who put a lot of energy into the ski. Both builds are the most directional skis in the range and definitely reward skiers who like to round out their turns.
In contrast, the FL skis are more progressively shaped (more taper, more rocker, etc) and have a very different flex pattern that is more designed to blow up cut up snow. They are for skiing down the fall line - even on edge and carving. You are carving down the fall line.
the Freeride skis are for being creative and making all sorts of turns: slashing, drifting, pivoting, carving. Way more modern (centered) mount.
all the skis in the HL range are designed to be very smooth, confidence inspiring, and encourage you to keep skiing faster and faster. They just go about it in different ways! I am more than happy to talk through the skis you have liked/not in the past, and could compare/contrast as well.
so the rocker profiles are fairly similar, but the mount point is very different. The VWK line is like -14 and most people ski them at like -12. The BC110 line is -6, and I personally plan to ski them at -8. The line on the C113 for reference is -11.5. While it does have a small amount of camber; it’s rocker is very long and low, and skis pretty similarly to the VWK. I ran out of time to type up thoughts on this, so I’ll get to it this weekend!Quote:

Of course that doesn’t cover the differences in sidecut, profile, and flex characteristics. It’s all on the site. Go read https://heritagelabskis.com
Thanks dude. Sounds like I might like the C113.Quote:

Maybe get the 192 105 if you "need" a bigger weapon?
^this. Buy the 194 Devastator if that’s what you think you need. I think I sold my pair to a mag in the Midwest for $100 shipped to his door. They’re basically free.
I’ve skied most of the offerings in this ~110 UF reverse camber category and what Marshal is describing sounds perfect for this ski IMHO.
ETA sorry the 194 Devs sold for $135 with bindings, shipped. OP:
Dynastar Protos w/ pivots and 4FRNT Devastators w/ mojos
https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...d.php?t=333235
Yup, Norse and Jup are spot on, I am also a big fan of this category and have owned and do still own a couple of these sticks. What Marshall is offering is pretty much exactly how/what I would want this ski built.
FR110s ordered. Very excited for these!
Yeah the BC110 look awesome. Should have my hands on some R87 AM mid week. Will be putting ATK’s on them and using them for after hours resort skin rips.
I'm just now discovering the RC world and definitely curious about the FR110 [emoji102]
Those of you who've had the skis shipped to Canada, did you get hit with any brokerage fees? It looks like UPS has changed their rules:

But that would mean that one would actually have to do the bare minimum of research before asking someone else to provide the answer to you. That takes effort.Quote:

Edit: I find the XTDs are ok for my old Faction Dictator 3, Kastle FX 95HP, and Noctas, but those are all lighter skis. I remember the boots not necessarily having quite enough beef for the old Salomon Rocker2 122 (I always attributed to ski weight), but maybe was skier error?

Haha; the FL113 is will be the stiffest ski in the line. The FL105 will be about 10% softer. The FR110 about 10% softer than that. still an 8 of 10 or so. But not a full gas ski
The FR110 should be just fine with the XTD imo. Especially
if they fit ;)
I see absolutely no problem using that setup. While the layup would be about the same between the FR110 and FL113, the flex, shape and camber profile are definitely not, the 110s are more forgiving (as we drew them), so no need for a plug or semi race boot there.Quote:

(1) the 177 will navigate switchbacks a little easier

(4) the 184 will have a little higher top end and naturally prefer larger turns
based on the 175 ova, I’d say go for the 177 as it will be both quicker and surfier for sure
