^Nice! I have the FRS and looking forward to my new skinny Quixotes which should arrive in the next few weeks
The last thing I want to do is bug Keith as to when the custom BCs from the Spring order are shipping.
If he delays until late November 'coz he's seeing demand for new stock orders that he needs to press (and pay the rent), I'm more than fine with that. I wish I was more flush. I'd order another pair for "inventory".
Having said that, does anyone know if any of the customs have started to ship (and/or the model sequence)?

Thom, I ordered my custom MVPs in early April and they showed up last month. Not sure if that helps, but depending on when you ordered mine took about 4 months.Quote:

He asked about my hoodie size since I was one of the first 100 to order this Spring.
I told him that if he's seeing a demand for hoodies, to feel free to sell mine and add it to the "rent kitty". It's the least I can do.

That makes sense, I think he probably pressed yours while he was pressing a bunch of the MVPs in prep for the winter, since it's the same mold.Quote:

Custom ordered 3 pairs of MVPs last spring for the little dschane's in my house - can't wait for them and snow to arrive. And my enduro/carbon BCs have become over the last 3 years my favorite all-time, do everything ski.
I am looking to sell my wildcat 108s (available with shifts and skins if anyone is interested) and get some wider skis in that slot. I have my eyes on the Jedi Mind Sticks. I’ve been looking everywhere for some bets on these and haven’t found much. Anyone have some common skis to compare them to or just more info?
I grabbed them on a whim. I wish there were some reviews out there. After I get some days on them I’ll put my thoughts down. They look like my style ski: stiff enough UF to have some backbone. Long rocker lines, nose and tail. Camber, but not a ton (~4mm). EE and running length looks short for a 190, so I think they’ll be versatile (long when you want it, short when you don’t).Quote:

That’s what I’m thinking. I had some Black Crows Animas that were my all time favorite skis.Quote:

Kinda similar looking on paper. The BO is a bit heavier (192 compared to 190), with a mount point -2cm from the Jedi's. They also have some metal.Quote:

Again, super excited to ski the Jedi's. Another couple of months, maybe less.
Anyone heard more news from Keith/Praxis? Could do with some good news after the last few days of shit.
Sitting here in NZ about to go into summer, and talking myself out of ordering some 189 RX.
Just buy them. You'll not see a deal this good again. And you will be doing your part to help the guy out.Quote:

RX vs GPO
I've scrolled through a fair few Praxis threads, but it would be great to hear from those of you with experience of both. Guessing that RX is more of a charger, and GPO more playful, but is there a big difference in speed limit, hold and composure?
Cheers.
The Satinwood Veneer on the FRDs is incredible

Having skied neither, all I can say is wish I had both. 😁Quote:

Just took delivery of some MVP 108's. Very stoked
Stoked indeed!
Those are do-it-all skis. Rail groomers (if not icy), powder, tour, go fast. I'm used to traditional mounts and surprisingly I found that these (-6cm) respond very nicely to classic shin pressure and big turns.
Enjoy.
Woot!Quote:

Beautiful
I have a pair of GPOs waiting for me to pick up in almost the same setup except white birch but same maple leaves. Will post a pic as well and yours turned out amazing!
Throwing a pic up in this thread too. Just arrived. Kinda the opposite graphics of the classy veneers above, but pretty fun/happy! Planning on putting inserts in for both alpine and tech binders. Excited!

What were your thoughts on them? I’m on the hunt for a fun carver that doesn’t mind some off piste skiing.Quote:
