Dynastar Legend Pro Rider changes since 2006 version

Well, that was more of a response than I thought I’d receive.. thanks y’all. Think I’m straight on this now.

2Funky, it’s my take from the comments above that the skis in the right of my pic are a pre neutered version. Are you talking about skiing the 08-09 version that went to 100 underfoot?

Yes, sorry. Yours are a better build, still not the same as the dreamsicles.

Got my pair up and running again before the season ended and even on the least busy day of the whole season I had to bring these back in by 11am because the speed they like to run at is just not safe for the general skiing public.

It doesn't take long to forget rocker and sidecut ever were invented

Resurrecting this thread from the dead...

I have two different LPRs in 186, one I believe to be an 05-06 and the other 07-08 (hopefully I'm able to upload the pic).



I bent the tip on one of the 05-06 skis and found the 07-08 skis at a local swap the next fall. At the time I didn't really know what the vintage on the 07-08 skis were as they appeared quite different visually, but still felt pretty beefy (especially with PX18s).

Wondering if anyone can summarize the differences between the two other than what I already know, and believe me, I've looked through every damn thread with "legend" in the title.

05-06 - OG race room construction, these are the bench mark. Have a backup pair that is unmounted and another pair of 194s that get brought out when conditions permit.

07-08 - Clearly the top sheet graphic changed. I know they went to a production assembly rather than hand made race room. Read that top sheet corners/edges were rounded/beveled to address chipping issues, and it seems like these have that feature as well as a resin like finish near the edges of the top sheet that seems pretty durable. Width and camber/rocker profile seem to be the same as the 05-06. I'm not able to see evidence of a metal layer like in the 05-06 which is easily visible from the sidewall. However hand flexing both skis side by side would lead me to believe that it's still there in all its glory. So, did anything change performance/construction wise on these?

Uh, you have unmounted 186 OG LPs?

When Dynastar changed the LP from 97mm to 100mm it ruined the ski.
I immediately switched to the Kastle MX98.

Yup, I know, I know. Good chance they get mounted next season as the other pair with a bent tip skis pretty weird.

The bent tip one is the one we traded, yes?

Tell us more about how you bent it. That's a job...
