    Those BG protos and the Jeff 118s would look refreshingly blue with the new pivots that are starting to pop up for preorder

    How far the other way on camber could you go with BG protos? Would flat camber BGs be too greasy for all but deep snow?

    It will be very interesting to try them - they are more different to BlackOps118 than I anticipated. They are a couple of hundred grams lighter, has less tail splay with very similar tail rocker depth, and where the tips have more splay that rises more sooner. They also have very limited camber (a fair bit less than BO118s) as well as more aggressive tapering in front of / aft of the widest points of the tips/tails. Their flex pattern is nice and round, if not terribly stiff - seems supportive though. These should absolutely slay fresh snow. It will be interesting to see if the differences in taper and splay together with a slightly softer flex and less camber makes up for the BO118s weight and very nice suspension (layup, camber, flex pattern) in variable.

    High expectations for sure - they seem extremely dialed imho.
    Wow those look so good! I would buy the ones in factory finds if I didn't have Blackops 118s. If I skied more dry powder I could easily see having both in the quiver.

    I bet the Jeff 118s will float a lot better and be more surfy in spring slush.

    More camber on a BG seems like a terrible idea to me...unless of course you want them to ski dramatically different than past iterations.

    Since the cambered was lowered for this year I wonder if the the higher camber is just the previous generations camber profile.

    Don't get me going, I'll get in trouble again lol. The high camber BGs are for the Rockies shredders and for Kid Kapow's experimentation. Of all people, I cannot complain about people wanting to mess with the BGs.

    I want an AEV Soupeygoat now, that's a slightly softer 189 2017 BG with flat camber. I've come full circle... Can't use my ARG IIs as much as I want to, and they are a bit heavy (close to 2750g/ski) and stiff like Monster 108s. They're gonna need 30 more pow days at least before broken in. BGs when done right are the next best thing to R/R, and so much more versatile. I'd buy something like the older designs (2015 or 2017) in a heartbeat. I can't wait to hear more reviews of the updated version.

    186 Jeffery 100 ripper vs 186 Jeffery 110

    Findings and Initial thoughts.

    Pulls about 187.1 and the mount is about 4.65 back from center and flexes ever so slightly stiffer.

    The profile feels like it will for sure be better on firm as well as a bit more drivable for a freestyle ski.

    I’m very excited to get on this thing early season at Alta to get a feel for this mount and profile. I think they will be killer for how I like to Ski.

    Very interested to hear thoughts. A Jeff 110 Ripper could be an MFree competitor if it can handle firm well.

    My custom ripper 110 will arrive next week. So will have a comparison this season.

    Maybe on paper, the metal+rubber in the Mfree has way different energy transfer over bamboo.

    sure, but imagine a bamboo + (partial) metal + ripper jeff108. Titanal to add torsional precision, bamboo + glass + extra thick bases/edges to provide a smooth ride, further enhanced by said metal. I think it could be something special.

    I made a pretty half ass attempt at trying to convince Iggy to build me a pair of such a ski, but alas - I can't afford to go custom this summer so sized up on a pair j108s instead. To be fair, I never heard back from Iggy if that was something they were willing to do and at what cost, and I know that their stock of titanal is running low - so it could've been a non-starter. The idea gets me all kinds of excited though - especially with the goat graphic I made for the NS worst top sheet ever contest (that everybody else hates and that I love).

    Is the only way to get a Jeff 100 with a non yellow TS by doing customs? I’d grab a Jeff 100 with ripper rocker and thr blue ts all day. Just don’t like yellow.

    Go custom - it'll cost you the same as the stock ripper j100s on sale on the site right now with the code CUSTOM25

    Rippers will be custom only for the 100 and up skis going forward, stock on the narrower skis. That is what I seem to recall.

    So to answer your previous post, if you do not want j100s in the concept camo on offer on the site right now, going custom is the only option. They are not offered as with a ripper rocker with the yellow 24 J100 graphic outside of two protos that were sold through the factory finds or if you choose that graphic when ordering as a custom (as you won't do hating yellow ).
