I haven't been over here in a while so I'm not sure if there will be a ton of interest but what the hell. I've got a pair of Praxis Mtn. Freerides for sale, I just bought a pair of ON3P Viciks as my everyday/touring ski and I need to get rid of these as they won't see any action once I get the Viciks mounted up. Price is $325 shipped + paypal fee OBO.

Info:
size 187
127-102-118
Tip and Tail rocker
Mounted once, for P14's, 325bsl @101" from the tip - mounted with QK inserts.
Yellow/Tree topsheets, no core shots, just some light scratches a couple of which I filled.
Weight is roughly 9.5lbs (measured on bathroom scale)
Never been ground, only hand tuned by me every now and then.

They now have 14 days on them max, what I would say is standard Praxis chipping. Took a bunch of pictures this week after my 2 days I got on these in Colorado last weekend that show the chips and bases before I waxed them as well as I could, they are in my TGR profile here:


Pictures from when these were for sale back in October that show a bit of camber/rocker profile here:



I could also potentially sell with the P14's if someone someone is interested. Here they are next to 188 tahoes (the pivots on the Tahoes would be the ones with the Freerides).

For those who haven't heard of the ski, a couple reviews:

Shit. That is my BSL and all. Regular camber underfoot on these?

I shouldn't even be asking though. No way I can justify buying them ATM.

Yep, regular camber underfoot although it's slight, a mm or two (not like camber on Moment's skis), actual running length I think is around 110 but could measure again to make sure. Very fun ski, but I can't justify keeping them with the Viciks as my everyday/touring ski now and having praxis pows for the deep days.

Oh, and because I've been asked a bunch, flex is very even throughout the ski, very slightly stiffer underfoot. They are an original 6 on the praxis stiffness scale if that means anything to anyone, and are stiffer than my tahoes but softer than the viciks, I'd say they fall right in-between the two.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a great ski, and a great deal.

I'm in shop mode for a rocker/camber/rocker ski after my first experience with one. Actually, the Vicik is on my radar as well, haha.

Unfortunately, funds are just too tight at the moment though.

Yeah, I love these but I'm traveling with my wife to ski more often these days and it just isn't practical to bring 3 pairs of skis along. For those reasons something fat-ish that I can use on both coasts and in all conditions (ice to pow) with tip rocker only works a bit better as an everyday ski for me, especially when chasing her around the groomed stuff having the extra running length is nice.
