RMU Wisco?

So, I've been watching/jacking off to edits all summer, wishing it was winter. Don't lie, I know you've been doing it too. Anyways, in a couple different clips I saw Maks Gorham riding these pretty wide looking, rockered, tapered skis. I checked out RMU's site out of curiosity and saw this ski, the Wisco, which from what I've been able to dig up from a couple of old threads seems to fit the bill. While the RMU site doesn't actually say anything about the skis, the threads told me that the skis are 5 point (similar to the apostle, d'riddim, and halo), 102 underfoot, symmetrical, and rocker/flat/rocker.

Does anybody know anything else about these skis? What's their sidewall situation? Edge thickness? How long is the flat section of the ski? How much does a pair weigh? Have they changed at all since wwatkins made those threads in early 2012? Will they ever come in a size bigger than 172 (I'm 6' so that sounds a little short for me)? I'm checking them out, because I'm looking to get some all mtn freestyle skis and these seem like what I want spec-wise, but I'm not gonna throw down $650 on skis unless I know everything I need to know about them.

Also, why's RMU so secretive about the Wisco? Why wouldn't they just put the tech specs and features on the site? I don't quite understand their marketing strategy with this.

I own a pair, absolute best all around ski I have ever used. Super durable, beefy sidewall and edge, stiff underfoot and flexy in tip and tail. The pair I have is actually cambered underfoot as oposed to flat, but I dont know if they changed the profile in the past few years. Dont hesitate to buy it, I cannot speak highly enough.

I think you can buy it off RMU's site...? Idk, I mean I haven't tried buying it, I just know it'll let you add them to your cart.

And yeah, the apostles seem great and all, but just a liiiiiitle bit pricey... kinda out of my current range.
