Sounds like you would die if you hit any snow less than a foot deep on those.

Oh and is the convex base revolutionary? How old are these skis. The DPS spoon was the first ski I've ever heard of using a convex base, and that was awhile ago?

Yeah sorry i fucked my info up. I guess the DPS spoons big deal was the cleats to assist the ski with its convex base in harder snow conditions. Whats the first ski to be using this, you know?

Revolutionary Convex Base....

Is it too soon to rename the Sonny Bono Pro Model?

^lol

I think they're a lot less convex than the spoon, just barely, so you can edge them if you try on hard pack, but they're just super slarvey in the powder. Sounds fun, but I wouldn't take them anywhere lift accessed.

There's a few edits on the site. One of them shows them playing around on groomers. Actually looked fun going sideways down the mountain. Pretty sure it's not impossible to get up on edge. Imagine what some tweaks to a convex base would do for park progression.

their park skis would blow even more if they did that. imagine the lack of stability on rails, and how hard it would be to stomp tricks
