i see on jibij the live life and live life 2 are listed still only in the 179 size, yet in your blog i see that there is definitely a 1, an 8, and a 9 printed in that order on the ski. Will these be available in a 189, or are those skis in the blog just teasing me?

For Fall o8 I planned on offering the Live Life in 179 & 189 lengths and the Live Life 2 in a 179.

The Live Life 2's this coming season, although not shown in the blog photos, will be a slight rocker. Nothing like a hellbent or anything but indeed a nice mellow rocker shape. Fun.

My question is this: How many of you would like to see a Live Life 2 come in a 189? I would appreciate any feedback.

If there is a 189 LL2 with a lot of rocker I won't have to ski 89 'Bents. Doesn't need to be the huge 40/40 rocker, but more is definitely better.

Keep the Live Life with smaller tip rocker and super stiff. Good ski to mount back and point it. Freeride comp ski f'sho.

Mine

I think it would be nice to make a pure park ski sometime in the future. Lots of camber, super narrow, and stiff. yumm

I know Malone will back us up too. We were talking about this exact thing today while trying to figure out how tail lights work.

i'm too wee to comment on the question posed but i'm stoked the LL2s will have a rocker, i wanna get pow skis for the first time next season and i really like the sound of this rocker business but i was always planning on getting LL2s anyway.
i agree with slandis too, although i don't know how skinny he is thinking cos i like something to land/grind on y'know. it'd be cool if they were symetrical too.

nah, 90mm is just fine for a tiny park ski, I ski my LL 2's all day everyday fat skis are dope on rails and more of a base to land on. 75mm  is baby stuff holmes. 189 2's!!!!

I ma plnanning on buying the Live Life 2 this year, and I love that they have rocker. But I would love them even more if they as the Live Life came in a 189. That would be sick.

Live Life 2's are coming in both a 179 and 189. Rockered in both the tip and tail, flat underfoot.

i wish surface offered something in a 184 or 5. though i guess a rockered 189 would probably ski about like a 185. hmmm..

The 179 would ski closer a 185 than the 189 would.
