So i just picked em up yesterday from jibij and i cant even tell you guys how stoked i am on em right now, fuckin gorgeous, the flex feels just right and sitting next to my AK enemies they make em look skiiny as fuck. Unfortunately i forgot the thing i use to load pics to my computer back in vt but i'll be able to post some pics shortly for those interested

Those will most likely be the next ski I get.  I'm trying to gather lots of info on skis so I can save people the trouble of replying to a thread I don't want to have to make.  Any info about them would be great.

Jibij is already sold out, josh said their might be one pair left but it sounded as if someone was planning on picking them up. I don't think moment was going to make many so if you want them get on it fast. Sorry i cant put up pics yet but they have a medium stiff flex, a good deal stiffer then my ak enemies but they still have reasonable give to them. The rocker in the tips is pretty substantial but not soo much in the tail. Obviously its gonna take quite a while until i can say how the ride but their are several kids on this site who rode them end of last year that can provide info on them and i'll give pics as soon as i can. One last detail is i tend to get wood when i walk into my room and see them, but thats just me.

Praxis is SICK!!

What are the Dim's of those right there? Also, how much rocker is in those?

I kinda want a pair of Praxis', but i am not sure that is too practical to have in Ohio with just a few trips elsewhere a year

they're like 125-135-12(?)2.  not alot of rocker, initally i was so pissed, i thought they were going to blow, but they fucking killed everything. 

they blow on the east coast (and i'm sure in the midwest)....out west you can edge once it gets "hard" (chalky) but the EC ice gets scraped out on the non-tree trails pretty quickly on pow days and it suuuuuuuuucks   .  you'd be better off with a ski that has some regular sidecut.

Ya, i figured anything but a traditional sidecut would blow on the EC. I just kinda wanted some Praxis' cause they are sick as fuck

They were just looking for a way to stand out from other ski companies, which the square tips accomplish perfectly

Glad to hear they have a medium-stiff flex. And godDAMN they look good, especially mounted with those jesters.
