My Rx arent a lot of ski when I dont need them to be though. I can slow down whenever I want, and just mess around at 15mph riding with my family.

When it’s time to rage, just point and shoot

I assume these will be similar

That’s what these should do esp since the tips are a 4 flex. Keith said the tip stiffness will be identical to my 4 flex ProTest, which is money, but the break point is closer to the binding on the Lhasa. His 4/5 will be a little stiffer over all than my old stock Lhasa, which will be perfect in my eyes and what I was going for. The slight tail rocker will make them more manageable at slower speed and allow you to shut them down at a moments notice.
God I can’t wait to get them and especially ski them, though that may be a ways off.

Funny enough, thats exactly how Katanas flex. Tip is noticeably softer than tail with a hinge point. Blister gear used to rag on this type of flex profile a lot, but I like it. Makes the tip easy to force into a tighter turn, and helps it float.

I cant wait to trade off my Rx for someones pair of these for a few laps and compare!

And of course the curly figure in the Tineo is da sex. But I worry about that one being quite dark on finishing. Thought about asking for it with a bright yellow ink, but ultimately I'd rather have a lighter overall color for shedding snow, since I'll use these for touring once in a while.

So I asked for birdseye maple with dark green ink if possible (black otherwise). I think the dark line art will pop out of the light veneer and look dope.

DOPE!

**2FUNKY** · 10-18-2018, 09:06 AM

Dope!

**mall walker** · 10-18-2018, 09:33 AM

hope someone will bring a pair of these to BBIU19 as I'd like to oogle them in the flesh. and this thread is gonna need a lot of pics...

**Muggydude** · 10-18-2018, 10:18 AM

Keith did say the Tineo would be pretty dark FYI

I think the green on Birdseye will look dope for sure

**DJSapp** · 10-18-2018, 11:55 AM

Am I crazy to think the GPO galaxy scheme on the left could work? On maple or birch? Too much going on?

It would work, but I don't think Keith is offering other graphic options for these skis. Not sure though.

Personally I think the Lhasa graphics are awesome, and simple/unicolor designs that leave a lot of wood showing look best IMO

**Norseman** · 10-18-2018, 10:30 PM

Dope!

The suspense is thick...

**2FUNKY** · 10-19-2018, 12:49 PM

Sure would be nice if we could get a pic of the ski to see the rocker lines, esp the new tail rocker.......

If they show up to BBI19 at Alpy, I'll need some time in the forest with them. Wish I could have jumped in on this.

Pat, really great that you were able to do this with Praxis. The Lhasa is still my all-time favorite ski and this thread has put a fire under my ass to attempt the repair on the pair I own since new ones were out of my budget.

I want to show up to the Utah version. I will bring mine. 316 bsl allows a little adjustment either way.
