Keith’s communication and service is top notch. I hope he can continue to succeed.

I’m out west and the oldest was on a Carson last year with an 84mm waist and he spent most of the year in the white room. He specifically asked for wider skis so he can float more.Quote:

Last day of the sale today!
... And trigger pulled!
I've been eyeing these for a few years, but have been (and still am bloated at this waist width).
But these look like fun!
Be interesting to see how they compare to the FR110s.
I can't wait to ski them. Small camber underfoot (hard to believe it's the 4mm Keith advertises). Loooong rocker lines front and rear. Honestly very similar to the Hotshot's that I daily.Quote:

Mounted mine on the line with STH2's that were kicking around. I think I would have done Pivot's if I had some on the loose.
I just got the last 187 GPO's from the discount page. I'm stoked to try these, and for the record, I think the skull/octo graphic is killer.
Finally got on my 190 Mind Sticks. Freakin' bad ass ski. I think I might daily them. Only thing they don't do is rail tight turns, but I didn't expect a 115 wide ski to do that. They point down hill amazingly. Smash chop, pivot and smear. I'm in love. Today will be day three on them. Thanks for such a rad ski, Keith!!
My Skinny Quixote's just arrived!
188cm
108mm underfoot
burled maple veneer

The biggest problem with praxis skis is that they last for ever. Picked up some MVP 94's to go with the rest of the praxis quiver. I do need another pair of protests...
Can't wait to hear about that one. Love my full sized Q so much, talked to Keith about at skinny Q vs MVP 108 but never pulled the trigger.Quote:

It finally snowed, so I got to take the FRS's out for their maiden voyage. Good snow all day, so not a particularly good test for the skis, but I had a lot of fun. Christened them with a healthy core shot, as is the theme in this low snow year. But entirely fixable, so no big deal. Multiple lift lines agree: they're very pretty.

Mounted the Skinny Quixote's up yesterday. Excited to take them out in the Tahoe snow for a test drive this coming weekend, will let yall know how they do

Post pics! It’s rare thing to hear “core shot” in context of Praxis and ON3P bases. Both use fantastically strong PE that must be some kind of high molecular weight formulation.Quote:

I've smoked more rocks than Tyrone Biggums on those skis, and they have only superficial scars with no real damage to speak of. I guess a tune will make sense sooner or later.

I need to stop looking on these forums. I have been loving my MVP 108s, but have been told by a few the Jedi Mind Stick is even better. Love the description of them "these skis are big enough to float on powder days but still perform well on hardpack and chop. A true one ski quiver that you can carve on groomers, hit a backcountry jump, or float through deep snow. No more need to decide which ski is right for the day. "Quote:

I have the MVP 108 and am thinking about snagging the Jedi Mind Stick and MVP 94 at some point.
I haven't been on a MVP, but I have 190 Mind Sticks that I'd let go of for a song. DM me if you're interested.Quote:

Just popping in to say how much of a blast the Praxis MVP 108 is. They just fucking do it all. Chopped up snow. Grab the MVP. 2ft powder day. Grab the MVP. Want to just pop off side hits and chill. Grab the MVP. Dropping cliffs and larger airs. Grab the MVP.
Only condition I want a heavier, more damp ski is that really hard pack/icy stuff no one wants to ski in anyways.
Really hoping for a sale soon to grab some Jedi Mind Sticks, which I assume might be an even better for the PNW.
I really wish Blister would re-review the MVP, I don’t think they adequately detuned the pair they were given and I’m convinced the review killed some of the sales of that ski.
I have the 187 OGs and if I stand up a little taller and ski them with a more parallel style they’ll wiggle through tight spots at slower speeds. And at 5’7’’ ~163lb I can’t find the speed limit when I get the chance to open them up.

I think they just strike a good balance with stiffness, tip and tail rocker, camber, etc. Not trying to claim they are the best one ski quiver, but certainly feel close.
Best (west coast) one ski quiver that I’ve found for my size and ski style. But I usually find space in my roller bag to bring Chipotle Bananas along for the trip.
agreed, it’s been a long time and the ski has been redesigned / refined since then anyway.
