I can't find the Praxis superthread?
I'm looking for something used between my skinny Qs and Powder Boards. WP gets tracked out quick these days. I need something with a bit of suspension. GPOs, FRS, Qs...what else? Who's holding?

Rad...I'm interested. The GPOs will be too long. Either put the details here or link the Gear Swap thread.
Praxis Nerd...talk me though the basic differences between the others. I Q would be an easy sell but interested in the others.
I have a pair of 187 Veneer Enduro GPOs (1 mount) I’m probably going to be selling too. They have some base damage that’s been professionally repaired, but I will let go cheap because of it.
On the topic of mount points, I definitely preferred my GPOs -1 to -1.5 behind the line. In the line I experienced a bit of tip dive, behind they’re perfect

The more I fuck with mount points and bindings the more I'm realizing how much both boot forward lean, boot ramp angle, and binding ramp delta can play a role in mount points. But yeah as N1CK mentioned, if you go into the GPO thread or Praxis 18-19 Superthread then you'll see a pretty big range of mount points on the GPO from +1 to -3 I think, and very few complaints. I think I had my 182 GPOs at -1.2, I liked them there but I had suspension issues with them and sold the skis to N1CK thinking they were too stiff for me before I realized the problem stemmed from my worn boots running out of flex and hitting a wall.
N1CK, do you still have those or did you move them along?

I've got some 184 Freerides that I'll throw in the mix as well
I agree, and I think it's why I struggle with forward mount points. I should calculate what my exact number is (fwd lean + boot ramp + binding delta). I had actually bought a pair of Atomic Hawx Ultra to play around with forward lean, but didn't like them out of the box so returned them.
Just reached out to Keith to talk skis and maybe some customs.
He mentioned no custom sale this year and that the struggle to stay in business continues
Current focus is he as a one-man show is using his in stock materials to make skis and needs to sell them at full price to stay afloat
Just thought I’d share this here
He did a say he’d be making some wood veneer stock GPO options, which I what i am interested in, possibly got the wife and I.
Thought I’d share here as the maggots have been staunch and supporters of Praxis

My GPOs with the Abominable Snowman graphic are such a great ad for Praxis! I get so many callouts and questions. Love to talk up Praxis

Anyone on the slugger? I need a new western daily driver- aiming for heavy ish, damp, 100 ish waist. A nice middle ground of something that can edge well enough on firm/hard pack days but not totally locked in tail, semi chargy. Love my GPOs so thought the slugger looks like a good complement.
Yup. I’ve been on the Sluuger 175 cm version and have posted a little about it in the various praxis threads.
Very capable all rounder
New version has veneer top sheet stick and no carbon
I bought a new version as a backup for my older pair
Same dimensions, only difference is carbon taken out and veneer top sheet

Thx hoarhey, I'll dig around. Yeah, this are interesting and would like to support Keith
I skied a friend's 185 Slugger for one run and was very impressed. It engaged well but broke free nicely. Ripped groomers and bumps equally well. It did feel like it was mounted a bit forward for my taste (true for every Praxis ski I've tried: GPO, Rx, SND), so personally I'd consider mounting -1 to -2. The big difference with those other skis is that I didn't feel like I'd love them even if I messed with the mount point, but I'm pretty sure I'd have a blast with the Slugger as a DD.
^^^ helpful, thx
I’ve skied mine at -1 cm and they felt a hair forward there for groomers, but just right for technical steeps.

PSA for the group. I was talking to Keith yesterday. Seems like he still needs more pre-season sales to keep things afloat for another year. Time is of the essence sounds like. I ended up snagging a new pair of MVPs.
If you are contemplating getting another pair, now is the time.
Why is there so much hype about Heritage Lab Skis and hardly and buzz about Praxis Skis? Beside this thread the brand it appears to be non existent. New Models? Any new tests?
Over the years many good product companies folded due to a lack of sales numbers (as well as for other reasons). A new website would probably help. The website and the topsheets look pretty retro 80s style (not in a good way). The Skis are supposed to be very good, but I am not buying. To much other „hot shit“ out there.
Okay, tell we why I am wrong here?
