Mad respect for Mr. Wong, but really, just go ahead and build camber into the ski to start with.

You would be dead wrong.

I rode up the chair with a dude riding them. I ride scott p4's(metal in them) as my everyday ski in a 191. The dude riding up said they are stiffer than my skis and more stable.

It really is a good idea but the weight, cost and floatation of the ski just isn't for me, but for someone who wants a race ski in short length they would be pretty rad.

did anyone else notice how high the brakes sit when the boot isnt in the binding? ie. if you came out the brake is so high that it wouldn't dig into the snow.

Come on, its amazing technology and a great idea its just not for newschoolers. the binding is mounted to high, probably too heavy, and I'm wondering how stable it as far as twisting, like for butters spins n' all that tomfoolery

the ski "teaches you?" o rly? ....

and " it prevents lag from lifting the tip and tail so they both come up at the same time" ...if your ski has "lag" when on edge your skis have no torsional stiffness. therefore sucking ass.

so they made a ski, it sucked and they decided to build a mouse trap trap to fix it haha.

I could see the technology being used in racing in the future. But it doesn't really seem practical for anything else.

I'm no genius, but wouldn't making skis with a huge amount of camber do the same thing?

yes, but then when a forty year old business man decides he wants the latest and the greatest skis for his spring vacation, he only pays 500 dollars for them and doesnt get to look like a complete prick.

props to him for trying, but for anyhing other then groomers this ski would SUCK!

i can imagine it would be mad unstable and bounce around like a bitch. ur foot is so high off the ski it seems like it would be hard to coltrol. i would not even think of ever hitting trees, pow, drops, rails or even small jumps on these, there strctly for hardpack groomers
