One for the pivot lovers to fret or rejoice over until trade show season starts in earnest: Look is running an all-metal, geze style toe with rollers in the toe wings on Rossi’s WC speed skis this year. Basically a metal pivot 12/14 toe with a big spring . Seen on the left next to an spx 15. Attachment 220363
New Richard Permin ski from Dynastar looking sweet. ~25m radius, tip and tail rocker.
This is the ski I have been dieing to see and hopefully ski... I use to be such a huge Dynastar fanboy and hope this ski can make me one again...Quote:

Surprising we made it this far without talk of the new Mantra. Mantra M5: 96 underfoot, metal is more sparse but still there, tighter turn radius, camber returns underfoot—- word is they want more mass market appeal. GROSS. But I love the current mantras and know not everyone does.

That ski needs to die. The mantra has been in production almost as long as the explosiv it replaced; don’t know why they keep making worse versions of it. I like the idea of getting some camber back in to it, but I’m not holding out much hope for a return to its original versatility or power.Quote:

Volkl has a gap in their range there, Actually V-Werx Katana with 10mm~ of width taken off allround would also be awesome.
Guess I’m one of the few who loves the gen 4? Find it stiff enough for all my needs and like the full rocker to be able to break out the tails when needed. Never skied the gen 3 but loveddddd the last full rocker metal katanasQuote:

yes two versions of a lighter tech binding from marker i've heard.
What about Rossignol buying Felt Bicycles and releasing a line of Rossi branded bicycles specifically designed for lift service downhill riding?
Anybody heard that?
Edit: yeah a google search tells me it is old news. This continues the adrenaline without activity trend in the US
Newer news...Rossignol Group just bought Dale of Norway.Quote:

Rossi DH bikes? Designed by Felt who do not have a reputation for aggressive descending bikes? Bizarre, I don't think the DH crowd will like the Rossignol brand, at all.Quote:

They are always stodgy, but I kinda like those, look retro dynastar.Quote:

It's just the "team" skis, like they do with their race skis. Richard Permin ski is the one in the middle. The consumer skis have unique top sheets.
^new Pro Rider 105 or is that this years ski (in the first picture)
