Kind of thread drift, but might be interesting, These are the real deal, not sold to anybody, real WC issue, from three seasons ago. See this pic pre-mounting. Tremendous ski, built for one purpose.....racing WC skiercross. It's loaded with metal and rubber. Incredibly damp, but still quick. It makes beautiful turns, but sure doesn't like to be bent into short SL skis radius turns. It will respond to seriously standing on the outside ski, which is understandable give the nature of SX: needing occasionally to get out of trouble, fast. Our son is a brute, and former sub 25 point GS skier, and he had no fun trying to work this into a consistent small shape. Doesn't really want to do it. However, if you have some buffed and open spaces, even more fun with some rollovers and breakers and rolling terrain, with no friends, these are just an incredible ride. If you want to just ski a ski that literally eats up terrain, this works. A lot like a really nice real deal GS ski, but more fun in many respects. Seeing the right pilot ski this at real GS speed and turn shapes, through a mogul field is pretty eye popping. Wow.
Don't be swayed by the topsheet's size and radius. Yes a bit bigger than 27M, and a bit longer than 193cm. Not a 195cm, though. BTW, not my tuning room, so not my other skis, HaHa. I was just there for the mounting. And to witness some skiing a few days later. Still hoping to steal these. Maybe a Christmas gift??
