dude le skibum gets a pro model

**dude_le_skibum** · 10-26-2003, 05:43 PM

so i've been working with atomic and i've been develloping a special ski. this is my very first pro-model. i've been working on it secretly for the past 2 years or so. the first one has finally stepped out of the press. fresh hot i present you my ski.
so for the graphics i went with the old retro look from atomic. a-r-c is where its at. full on sidewall, low profile tip, no sidecut. its an almost spatula-esque ski. like 94-96-92. stiff. i wanted a cool but stupid name for it... i called them the team jumping. it gives them super rad name in a retro-gaper kinda way.

you know how i like long boards and i'm always dissing on short stoopid boards, well this one is a 245. yeah, 245. common if you are goin to make a pro-model you want it to be epic. epic it is. i took all the unnessery out. you don't really need edges on a pow board...so there's none. i also added an old retro 5 grooves in the base, killer for extra speed in straight lines. thats where this one will perform....

Very nice. Two questions though. Why and how much?

FK'N A! Too bad it ain't a twin tip. How you gonna land a 540 off the 90 meter ramp?

thank you

i will answer your 2 questions

why not ?

not for sale.

what, if you had to design a ski, would you build the same as everybody else, this is going to be THE straightlinning tool.

i have a spare set of binders here. this is going to be fun/dumb

Dude_le_skibum is shorter than I am.

Them skis ain't big.

PS. Keoni, dudelay doesn't have the balls to hit even the smallest nordic jump, especially on Gotamas, especially in flat light, especially if he tried to spin a 360.

**dude_le_skibum** · 10-26-2003, 06:24 PM

dude i couldn't do nothing on that session, the fuckin gotamas were catching wind, any offset like a grab would of fucked me up.

**CantDog** · 10-26-2003, 06:42 PM

Good answers, those are going to be sweet. Gotta get some 14-20 DIN bindings for those suckers

**Anxious Mo-Fo** · 10-26-2003, 06:48 PM

N'importe quoi, ces machins...

**dude_le_skibum** · 10-26-2003, 06:55 PM

n-i-m-p-o-r-t-e quoi vers le bas, tant que c'est pointer vers le bas, je crois que si tu essaies de les tourner, c'est la que les problèmes arrivent

Get yourself a spare ACL to go with 'em.

I saw some dudes with boards like that once before. They were hucking off this mad kicker, but they were all wearing these faggy suits that kind of looked like baggy DH suits. And they all had Tele bindings, but no poles. And while they caught a hell of a lot of air, they didn't seem to be able to pull off any tricks. They just seemed to huck, and while in the air position their skis into some kind of reverse snowplow.

yeah, this is the research team at atomic. they are super keen at their work, they tested how my ski would react in different "air" situations. you know they're euro, that explains the faggy suits.

Perfect for a busy evening at BROMONT!

No grab == no style.
