    A good all mtn. twin that's long but not too fat, does it exist?

    Looking for a ski that is 188-196 cm in length, 74-86 mm under foot, maybe 15-20 m turn radius, with a raised tail or full twin...... something like a long park ski that also rips in the bumps.....

    Does it exist? Past or present? what are your suggestions??

    I'm 6'2, 190 lbs.

    current skis:

    191 armada ANTs
    195 Praxis
    198 Solomon Super Force 9
    185 Norica Enforcers (these are going soon)
    188 Rossi Scratch BC (these are what I am looking to replace)
    some other long and straight skis

    Line's first ski, also known as the "Ostness Dragon". Black sparkly topsheet with gold dragons on the tail. Super soft white bases.

    They are good in the bumps.

    I actually have a pair. Never skied them yet. Didn't refresh and saw that it had already been suggested.

    Thanks for the history lesson, though.

    Outside the park, I always preferred the feel of the old 188 AK Enemy (2002 bird wing graphics, 2003 goblin graphics) to the old 188 Scratch BC, but not sure if you want its 30m radius.

    I like my 186 Mojo 90's, short radius, but skis short because mount point is pretty far forward, so I wish it were a bit longer, so 193 Mojo 90's should be a good pick for you (although 90mm is outside your stated 74-86 range).

    Hey, he said "past or present." I've seen some 190s kicking around swaps in the last couple years, too. Mostly, though, I just wanted to win this thread, and I totally did.

    these are not good skis, i really didn't like too many of lines first attempts at skis. the construction gave the skis a weird feel. Last line ski i skied were 2004 or 2005 line chronics, I borrowed a buddy's pair for the day; they still had that same feeling and these bad boys were heavy.

    If an old model could make you happy, look into the Völkl G41/G4/AX4 198. 83mm waist, I believe. I still have a pair in my garage.

    V-pro was my go to ski when demoing. Only the deepest days would get any other ski.

    I bought Head Mojo 90's 2 years ago. Similar feel. Twin tip. Decent in bumps, but not a bump ski. Floaty when you need it, and stable on everything. Mount them back a bit for best results.

    Edit- make that the 724 Pro. Still a great ski, but 78 or less under foot I think. Not sure what lengths they come in. For what it is worth, I loved this ski. But, it was during my transition from 210 Pre Slaloms, before I really got used to the idea of a wide ski being useful.

    Good luck with that width waist. A Mojo 90 in the 193 is the closest thing, and many have mentioned that already, but it has a 90-mm (or rather 89-mm) waist.
