The Better Freeride/Comp Ski

[soul_skier]

igneous? ffl, fat, in a 190, flexed at around a 260?

[Z]

Aware of that. But hoping that if I spend a bit more for a better made ski (XXL or a pair of Capitals) that they will last longer despite the fact that Ill be beating them senseless. Still leaning and have my hands on the XXLs, but still considering getting some Capitals despite the extra $$.

yeah. But then yer gonna stomp the piss out of a 25 footer to a rock and yer expensive skis are gonna break.


just sayin.

and that is exactly why with only 1 exception( praxis) i don't buy new skis, you are going to destroy them, 10-20 days on any good pair of skis doesn't do that much damage, one set of holes isn't that detrimental, and I don't feel that bad when I put a 6" long coreshot in them

naww, I'm pumped on em. I'll be skiing XXLs.

Really, I keep this banter going because I'm bored as fuck while I wait for the snow to fly.

Living at your parents house, even for a short time post college is like a long shitty hangover to a great party.

192 brohemouths, because they'll put the spank down on the XXL's as far as ease of turning and stability.

That's seriously what splat should do as marketing. Here test the XXL side by side with my 192 bro...I bet I already know which one you'll like better...with that goofy frin of his.

El Dude, how come you dont go Bsquad ? stiffer than XXL and cheaper. You cant slarve a turn on squads like you can XXL and they arnt a pow ski (both because of the narrow waist an big taper) but if you wanna shred........@ least try a pair

[Professor Chaos]

I find the Squads too stiff. I like the fact that the XXL has a softer tail. Z your right. Ive beaten skis to death in no time before so considering Ill be getting a bigger charging ski and charging that much harder on them theyll should be disposable.

Soul Skier, Ive thought about both FAT and FFGS Ingeous, but add tax, shipping, and any possible duties on the cost and it makes sense to stay local (Capital) if I even decide to go that route.

Im leaning on sticking with my XXLs. Stiff, wide, its what I want. I just wish they had a bit more taper, but whatever, I aint gonna get pick over them.
