It's just strange that the moment and jskis blades sell out in minutes/have tons of hype and on3p gets barely a nod. Maybe they did better over at ns
I've got Chipotle blades are they're a ton of fun to bust out in the spring.
ON3P release schedule has been whack this season and has hurt their hype around here for sure.
BGs not coming out till late March and Blades in late April? Bump the release schedule back 2 months and it would have been a different story.
Marketing and hype is a hell of a drug. J would sell his grandmother’s teeth to his barber’s dog if he could make a buck on it.Quote:

It could just be the timing or something - too close to / after the end of the season. I dunno - I do not possess a cell in my body that wants a pair of ski blades - I've always fucking hated ski blades (they are prob fun and might actually be very beneficial iot develop ones balance) :)Quote:

Moment is also close in proximity to the Mothership / Pain McSchlonkey Classic. I have no idea if similar tomfoolery happens in Vermont ... I guess I also don't have much of an idea of that kind of tomfoolery happens in the PNW near ON3P HQ.

Lol. This is the best idea I've heard in a while.Quote:

Minicorn Blades are hot.
I have J Skis Saucerboy Blades, they’re a riot. Great for messing around on spring days. Expect to see me in Pain McShlonkey next year [emoji41]
I learned to spin on the Saloman Ski Blades back in the day. Also great for intermediates to find their balance point - lean too far forward or back, and you fall. The last day I remember using them I felt a little bored and grabbed my skis, and that was the day I started to appreciate the power and energy that skis give back.Quote:

I took my 50/50 wood110s with ATK R12 w/Freeride spacers out for tour this afternoon, and man - the previous woodman shape works incredibly well in slush. The relatively short cambered section together with lots of splay in the rockered sections make them really loose and easy to pivot.
I would imagine that the harder snow prowess of the new shape is even better - but still, I thoroughly enjoyed the WD110s today. I would love to try the new 100s - they must be fantastic spring mission skis.
The J118 Tour has been a great spring touring rig too. I never skied wide skis in spring, but they are so much better than my 96 waist skis when things start to get sloppy and the slush gets deep. They handle firm conditions okay for their width, and they are damp enough that they remain pretty composed through runnels and tracks and boot holes which I was surprised to see in a 1900g ski.
Do the BGs have the same/similar core profile and flex pattern of the WDs?
Mostly curious because with the WD change from the original to current core, I was able to step up from 177 to 182 (now 181). I’m wondering if that is the case with the BG as well.
A whole bunch of good stuff just hit the factory finds on sale
1 pair of 191 BGs, a few pairs of 186 BGS
Some Wren 110 Pros, other goodies
Ooooooo Ripper Rocker!
Someone already snagged the 186 Woodsman 108 Black Bombers. Those were ridiculously rad, I kinda wanted not gonna lie.
The plane looked different than the plane on the 108s I have. Super cool.Quote:

Any reason to buy Wren110s with a quiver already bloated with midfat chargers? I had plans to scoop up one of the last pairs to serve as my travel ski, but got HLS fl105s instead
any reasons not to buy it other than it not being sensible, overlap and so on? These are the last on offer before they are gone forever #fomoQuote:

What length FL105s did you get?
