Just bought a pair of Dynastar Proriders that are 196 long and measures 130-105-120. Supposedly one of the two pairs that exists with the Dragon/InBig design topsheet.
I`m stoked and looking forward to skiing them, but I`m also somewhat intimidated by their size. If anyone is asking for me I`ll be in the weightroom doing knee-bends....
Pictures and TR to follow.
Guess what showed up on my door today....

The ultimate LP.
Congrats!
Yeah, two pairs. You and Nobis. ;)
g-damn!
i kinda feel in your boat, i just pulled trig on some sanouks and haven't skied anything over 182 in 7 years. i know they're wussy soft, but i'm still worried and was doing leg exercises in my apartment instead of lying on the couch and recovering from the death illness i've had for the past 10 days. :D
Hot damn! Enjoy them and let us know whether you get pwned or not first time on them.
Just let them run and get up to speed and them turn them.
just pm me when they are too big for you. consider them as good as sold
rip that shit
this thread is pointless without photos;)

Hell yeah, it's picture time, JONG.
Schweeeet!
Hell Yeah! Get 'em up to speed and hang on for the ride!
Nice! No turning for you I guess!
That is huge, you are going to go very fast.
want me to soften em up for you?
where are the pics?
So ehh, any chance of getting to fondle them at some point? Where and when do you plan on skiing them? Considering what you prolly paid I guess the snow in Oslo this morning isn't really enough...Quote:

They finally arrived, and boy am I stoked. They are BIG and burly:fm:
Compared to my LP 186 they are significantly larger...

In intial livingroom-flex testing they seem somewhat stiffer than my LP186, but this with the raised tail, when I flex them from the rearward contact point they seem to be more alike. Other observations include a lower profile tip on the 105`s giving them even more running lenght, and there is a number on the tails is similar to those found on true race stock Dynastar skis. All in all they are big ,fat, heavy and burly. The original plan was to put some Hammerheads on them, but I might reconsider putting telebindings on them for the time beeing and try them out with the alpine bindings first.
TR to follow when we get some more snow here. Currently we have a superb base of at least 3 cm.....
Thats it, I`m off to the weightroom again.
Edit:My spelling is piss poor...
wow. very sick. i would give anything to own those. good score.
good luck
and congrats cool skis
:eek:

Tele Binders???!!!
Beware the curse of the dragon.
Ahh, the return of the Nobis white topsheet.
I guess Orange ain't what it used to be.
They make your LP 186 look like toothpicks.
Holy guacamole Batman! You've been snowlerblading all these years? ;)Quote:

That's a whole lot of ski for tele. I ski the 186 LPs tele, and they keep me busy.Quote:

I know, I also ski the 186 LPs tele. They are by far the best skis I have ever been on, even if they are a bit demanding with free heels. I wanted these new ones for the really deep days where I find the 186 a bit on the narrow side, but as I said I might reconsider seeing as they seem to be a bit stiffer then my LPs...Quote:

Considering what kind of "snow" I used them on last season, flying off the car at 80km/h, getting dropped from the tram etc. I think they can handle some urban bigmountain too.Quote:
