The Dynastar Thread

I skied the 188 Legend x106 courtesy of LVS all day today. Skied everything from variable windblown/bulletproof refrozen groomers to knee deep bomb-hole pow. The only time I wished for another ski was in wind-crust and it wasn't THAT bad. So far this season I've been skiing 186 OG-LP exclusively in any conditions other than the WROD. It's been great in the low-tide conditions we've had at Mission, but really a letdown in deep snow. The x106 today did everything ea better, quicker, more preciesly and floated significantly better in deep snow. x106 might be my ideal DD. It is super mellow when you want, skiing with the wife, etc, but you can open it up and possibly more importantly shut it down instantly.

tl:dr Great skis, I'm buying a pair. METAL :yourock:

After an unfortunate mounting mistake (self inflicted) I need to decide +1 or +.5 for the new mount.

Any suggestions?

So I get a text from a buddy, and I’ll let him chime in if he wants to, that he found a pair of minty Pro Riders for sale at the local used gear store for $319. He let me have them! His beers are on me for this January.

I got me a pair of Pro Riders! Watch out, hide your kids, hide your wife, once get some better coverage, Hell will be unleashed!!!

Better throw some p18 on those bad boys and buckle up.

Damn that’s a deal. Everybody knows it!

There is a rumor they were previously skied by a very famous American Downhiller, which makes them even more badass.

Going to mount them at +1 once we get more snow. It’s just a little too thin out there right now to risk any damage to them.

No, mount them on the line as God himself intended.

They are drilled for 315 and my BSL is 305. I can go +1 or -1, unless you have a magical way to remove a previous mount.

Use a different binder.

You can thank me with a good whisky.

Go get some look px15 bindings then.

Wrong color? I’m going to be vane and attempt to insist on Orange or White P18s. I have a pair of Orange P18s waiting to go on a pair of 203 Shiros, but I may mount them on the Pro Riders if I can find a pair of 105 brakes

I've seen px15 and 18s in black, orange and white. I think you should make an effort to mount these skis on the line.

That’s a good thought, but the toe piece of the PX15/18 is the same as the P18, so I’ll still be forward at +1

Dynalook plates may be a thought to consider if you don't mind a little more stack. Spray paint them.

You should be able to fit another set of holes in there no problem, these skis have a ton of metal

I may just plug the holes with JB Weld and wood dowels, then mount on the line.

If they're drilled for 315 and yours are 305 then you'd only be 0.5 cm forward of the line with the toepiece in original holes. I'd say get Pivots, install toes in existing holes and redrill the heels.

That’s the plan

For slc mags. Level9 has a pair of 187 xxl pro riders in pretty good shape with 1 mount for $99.

If I had known the PR I let Big Bird buy would have generated so much chatter I would have bought them just for the street cred.

But a month worth of Whiskey/Sevens and getting them in the right hands (feet) brings Karma points that I needed.

Let it be know this man earned every Wiskey/Seven I buy him this month.

Just need two working MCLs to get out on them now. Soon enough, soon enough...

Can finally join in this discussion...picked up my first set of Dynastar's earlier this season, 186 Legend X88's for our bony, low tide start to winter. Having a blast on them and should've picked up something like this a long time ago.

Pm sent on the OG 192 LP105s

Sweet Jesus.... want 192s

Finally upgraded the Twisters after 8 years. Exact same ski/dimensions, but for some reason they increased the radius from 24 to 25 (not that it matters)??

I was having some trouble enjoying my Pro Riders, then I finally got into some untouched pow, and damn, so easy and smooth. I also finally trusted myself and the ski enough (and could see) to let them run in the bowl and they smoothed everything out. I’m still not a fan of them in bumps, but maybe I need more time on them. They definitely are a fun ski in the right conditions.

Push the tips harder, ski faster

Got on them again today. The softer boots made life more fun. I’ll drive the tips harder and ski faster.

What do you like about the x106?

80% the power that the lp105 is but more floaty, easier going, less tiring in tight terrain

Too lazy to read through this entire thread......Anyone have any experience on the Legend x96?

It's essentially a better version of the Cham 97 2.0.

Also this,

Legend 96 (despite being in the cm of mediocracy) is a fun fucking ski but might be a bit turny for your tastes. One of the few skis over 90 I’d recommend. Excelles in variable spring snow in a variety of terrain. Rips quick to medium turns on firm.
