I'm totally getting them. I saw them today and they're so ill. They're going to replace my '07 VCT's this spring. Has anyone else seen them yet? I'll post pics tomorrow.

totally, I'm scheming on some 183 '07 Gotamas to replace my 181 '07 Supermojo 105s as we speak... not to mention my '07 190 EHP's that should complete the quiver... after I get the SFB's in the fall of course.

David my regular brakes worked for my elizabeths, they were just bent, but they still close and touch the snow perfectly

the bacon is the longest out of the 3. i dont see why every one is fretting that the bacon is softer than the invader. the elizabeth is softer then the invader too and its sick as hell. if the bacon was stiff it would kick everyones ass anyways

yea but if ur savage enough to ride something like a 130 prophet ur savage enough to forget the brake and get a leash but bewhere of the ski bounching up at ur balls after its released!

anyway whats the deal with the softness of the sir francis bacon... i would think you would want a stiffer ski for big mountian... something that would hold up better when it gets extreme?

you do want a stiff ski for big mountain skiing. and i know for a fact line didnt make this ski for big mountain. that would be fairly stupid. the prophets do that job. the bacons are made for everything. perform amazingly in pow obviously, turn like a motherfucker because of the sidecut, and rock all mountain because of their shape, width and length. a very good all arounder, but definitly not a good big mountain.

exactly. the prophets are big mountain. bacon is bc freestyle.

if you dont charge and only ski untouched pow, they would work fine for "big mountain"

salomon makes a brake for the 130s as well. or somebody makes one that is compatible for salmons and looks exactly lieka salomon brake

He came up with the idea of Pangea and since the skis have animals all over them, they knew that the name Pangea was taken (k2) and found out that he also worked under queen elizabeth (the ski too) so it worked perfectly. straight outa pollard's mouth.
