Bases and edges perfect, used 10-15 times, no rock or rail damage, binders used 3 or 4 times the red rossignol power 140's, possibly looking to sell if it would be worth it or trade, how much would you pay for'em? top sheet has a few nicks and has been colored on by me.

One question...why would you mount those true center?
I'll give you $200 shipped for just the sticks.

No AT binding will handle that well but the new naxos are (supposedly) a fair bit tougher than freeriders.
What a waste of a mount spot... but seriously, sell these skis to Vicious. If you have respect for what you're about to part with here, it should mean a good deal to you that he'll put them to excellent use.

I've taken my Freeriders upto 20 feet so far.
I've had no problems yet. Off course, hucking conditions were prime. I wouldn't want to be hucking 20 feet onto something kind of hard.
Other than flexing a little and being a tad bit fragile, I love them. Much better than using trekkers.
The new Naxo Nx21 is super tempting though.
I'm gonna wait and see how peoople like it, but if it is more durable than the FR than I'm gonna pick up a pair for sure.
If your looking for a pretty aggressive hucking ski, though, I wouldn't rely too much on touring bindings. I've seen them break on as small as 10 foot drops. As I've said, I have never had a problem with mine.
You are option is to use Alpine Trekkers, which in my opinion are tour wreckers. Mine broke after about 10 days. Ackward, heavy, overall I think they suck. But for short tours where you want a real binding going down, they are a decent option.
Because I'm on more fagile AT bindings I do ski a little less aggressively in the BC, which is fine with me. I don't huck as big as I would normally. I usually try and make sure the landings are good too. but your in the BC for pow, so they usually are fine.
So, if you really want to get in the BC and can sacrifice a little performance going down for much better performance going up, get the new Naxo Nx21 or FR. if not, look into trekkers.
What needs to happen is Fritsci or BCA needs to make a metal, heavy, 14 din beefy touring binding that can handle hucks and still tour. And they need to make it lower to the ski, too.

o, and I guess for reference.
Wild Snow.com did a flex comparision of the Naxos, FR, dynafit, and some alpine bindings.
The results were such:
Dynafit
-------------------- (20 units deflection from vertical)
Fritschi Freeride
--------------------------- (27 units deflection...)
Marker M1100 Titanium alpine binding
---------------------------- (28 units deflection...)
Naxo Nx21
----------------------------- (29 units deflection...)
Silvretta Pure
------------------------------------ (36 units deflection...)
Naxo NX01
------------------------------------------- (45 units deflection...)
So, the new Naxo Nx21 flexes about the same amount as the FR. Whether or not it will be better than the FR is yet to really be determined. The Naxo NX01 fell apart extremely easily, so the Nx21 may have only been made as strong as the FR. At this point it is really gonna be hard to tell until people start skiing them, though.
Luke - you quiver is gonna be SO sick.
193 San, 189 SV, 189 SP w/ AT, 189 AK, 179 PE.

^Wait wait what happened to his Mantras? And he still has PEs and Made'ns?? Where are his ANTs!? I can't keep track of Luke's quiver anymore!
... Anyway, I think it's obviously excessively Volk2 heavy, but relatively unimportant concerns like brand names aside it is a diverse and effective quiver, isn't it.

hahah wow. yeah, I guess I forgot his complete quiver.
With these...I think it is the following:
193 Sanouk
191 ANT (forgot about these...don't know how)
189 SV
189 SP
189 Made'n AK (Luke has been trying to sell these..think he still has them though)
179 PE (He just picked these up a few weeks ago)
Mantra were sold a long time ago. He current Made'ns also have the hippy stick topsheet.
Luke's quiver is just ridiculous.

Made'ns are gone, but I have the Rossi 140s that were on them for sale.
I'm down to 5 skis if I pick up these SP's for AT:
193 Sanouk
191 ANT
189 SV
179 PE
Maybe 189 SP (AT)
All times are Eastern (-5)
