Awesome :D
No plans to rerelease a Cy graphic. In the summer months you can special order one.Quote:

Yeah boys. So freaking stoked on all of this: Great graphics, "damper" Wildcat 108, a 194 length in the Commander 118! Amazing.Quote:

Hey melee congrats to you and all the guys involved. You've been making some of the best skis in the world here in northern nevada, and I'm glad to hear / see that's finally paying dividends.
Next year's line looks coherent in a new way. No more 3x 108 touring skis, for one. Cool to see two new fat commanders, too. Simple and covers all of the bases. Glad to see the deathwish tour is an actual deathwish tour, too.
Also those dw graphics are indeed sick.
hm, going from strength to strength I see - well done!
how about a Wildcat special order with any one of shawn knight's 2015-2018 bibby series graphics? such a killer graphic run on the Fable of the Moment Bibby.Quote:

We can do anything in the summer months. Just too slammed to do any custom skis this time of year.Quote:

A good problem to have been we are working on upping capacity so we dont run into this issue next Fall. We have already hired two employees in the last week...
Definitely on board the excitement train for the wildcat 108.
And yeah, the deathwish tour. I toured on the original deathwish for years. Didn't want the old deathwish tour because of the changes, but the new revisions might make me sell off the bibby tours to sub in the new deathwish tour.
Yeah I miss the Fable of the Bibby, but I get the rebrand and I'm stoked to see where this new Space-themed storyline goes.
Here's the link to the Fable of the Bibby imgur album I put together a couple years ago.

The Commanders are freakishly light! We like that about them though, they are still very damp.Quote:

The 124 was made to "replace" the Comi. This design is kind of unique to the rest of the Commander line since its the brain child of Third Edge Heli and a lot of there clients who have been Comi fanatics for the last decade. The 124 does not use Titanal
For 19/20 the Commanders do get new molds. Instead of the tip gradually following the rocker profile it has a second radius to create a more pronounced tip and a bit more slay. The tail rocker gets reduced just a tad bringing the contact point just a few mm back and slightly less splay.
Let me know if you guys have any other questions!
Tip slay! The latest crud busting innovation?

Another one curious about Wildcat 108 changes to make more damp and approximate weights.
Wildcat 108 looks awesome... gonna have a tough time choosing between that and whatever ON3P comes out with between the Kartel and Wren for a DD. May just come down to length and graphics when deciding

Harms and Clark got me on the Comi a long time ago while skiing in Alaska. Still a favorite of mine for deep days. Looking forward to checking out the Commander 124.
Very cool. Thanks for putting that together.Quote:

Maybe this is an un-TGR question, but has anyone skied the Meridian close to center mounted? I bought tpacent's 187s and I think the furthest back I can go between center and recommended (-5cm) is +3.5cm (-1.5cm from true center). This is in line with my Rossi Scimitars that I have at -1cm from center, but I'm worried that I'll be in the back seat all the time in deeper snow.
FWIW Cody Townsend mounts all his skis dead center.Quote:

One of Moments athletes mounted his Commander 118 pretty close to center as well.

Dialing in the final version of the ski this month but we are really happy with it already.Quote:

Main changes are the core material although some composite tweaks have been tested.
The goal is to make a slightly damper ride while still feeling like a Wildcat.
Tyler Curle runs his forward of recommended but he isn't at dead center.Quote:

Melee - is the camber profile the same across the commander line? Wondering if the 118 and 124 have less camber given their purpose.
So freaking stoked on this. Nice job boys!Quote:

nice skiing - looks fun! Music was... interesting? ;)
Any changes from the current ski? I am intrigued by these now that they have stiffened them up a bit. Also interested in a comparison between the newest Deathwish and your time on the commander 108. Thanks.Quote:

Maybe! Though I think it's a different story entirely, Melee would have to confirm.Quote:
