hi guys I wrote two threads about an ar7 that I was going to get which didnt happen due to the cost. At the moment I have enough money for the k2 revival. However the lack of pop it seems due to the zero camber scares me a bit since this ski is going to be ripping for 5 years.

So to get to the point... should I go for this or save up an extra 200 euros and go for the ar7 ? Is it true about the lack of pop? and lastly can any binding be mounted onto it or is it only the schizo? (due to the schizo inserts)

cheers

if it has schizo inserts you can only mount the schizo binding on it.

I have obSETHed with Schizo inserts and I mounted other bindings on it. The good thing about the placement of the inserts is that they are set back slightly and you would adjust to move the binding to core center. If you want to mount a different pair around core center the holes usually don't line up. BUT, you NEED to make sure the holes wouldn't line up before you buy bindings.

Pop comes from you legs and flat doesn't been lack of pop. Think of it this way, with camber you flex against the shape of the ski, with zero camber JIB ROCKER, you flex into what has been molded as a flat ski, the ski naturally wants to rebound back to it's normal position. You get the added bonus of the rocker and it's all around shredding capabilities.

What type of skiing are you going to be doing? stickly park? then center, and even if your going to be skiing some groomers you will be able to get away with center as well.
