I mounted my pair of 192s at -1. They were super pivoty and loose in pow. I think -1.5 or -2 would be fine. I ended up selling the 192s because I wanted to bump up to the 196s.Quote:

I never felt pitched forward on them. I just couldn't drive the tips. Whenever I got forward on they'd submarine and get buried. It's such an easy ski to ski, I figured that the 196 would be no problem to take meadow skipping.
Who else is getting Skinny Quixotes??
I cant remember whos in the squad

Will put up a review in November

But will they be stiff enough? Red enough???
I went #4 flex with the Heavy Core, it should be a "playful charger" for me.
And they're wicked Red!

Got a line on these stiff 193 mvps, thinking of mounting for touring, wondering how they might feel on hardpack/mountaineering? I've used dynastar xxls and cochise for a while, end up skiing alot of big mountain runs

The new MVPs showed up today. Very happy with how the veneer/artwork combo turned out. This is the birch veneer. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...81d4e76683.jpg
Wow! Was leaving the clouds out a special ($$$) request, or is this how the standard silkscreen renders on veneer?

Oh my goodness are those pretty. I'd have like to have seen your face when you opened the package. O face much? Giggity
Im definitely going woodgrain for my next Praxis.
I don't blame you for being concerned. Digitaldeath could track you down and try and sell you a timeshare in the Poconos.Quote:

Super psyched on these skis, #3 flex was exactly what I wanted. Slightly softer than my Gunsmokes, lighter, and a snappier flex. These are my 3rd pair of Praxis and I was still blown away at the quality of the finish. Keith is da man, bow down.
Here they are right side up https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e7e6794fb.jpg
9D8 with birdseye - the camera brightened them a bit, they are a little more understated in person.

Those are beautiful. I would feel bad about beating up such pretty skis.
Thats what the pics are for. Actually based upon my older hard-ridden praxis, I am not worried about damaging them while skiing, its actually drilling for the bindings that defaces them more!
