I don't think "hype" won the muricas cup perhaps a bit of the properties that make carbon fiber special played a part
keiths not that big into carbon and only just started offering that option much like on3p now makes a "tour lay up" goodes were and prob still are noodly pos but helped spawn db which would be the d in the dps. which are killer sticks that have been evolving since 05
my bro splat keenareno @ pm gear been working with various cf layups since 06 too. I try and road trip out every year and help lay up and finish in xchange for skis
made the mrs. a super sexy 178 lhasa pow w/ the special she jumps cool rippin skier chix givin back to skiing top sheets.
Even though she skis a 174 cm 120-99-110 bro model , is a decent skier who has skied as many if not more wasatch classic peaks/lines than most brahs at the trailheads these days
She women logiced that it was to much ski for her and wasn't gonna try. So I started searching for a ski she would be happy with. so i sees a kitty banner ad and click, which i rarely intentially do
Was impressed that they decided to throw some ad duckets at the tgr community instead of just bringing more than a jongy spam intro or the kickstarter speil, stopped by the factory and continued to be impressed by both the equipment/layout , knowledge philosophies of the crew and general vibe of the shop.
brought the mrs.down to let her check it out flex the hybrid vrs. the lighter but stiffer cf layup and decide if she dug em and she to was impressed.
far as the graphics a couple hundy possibly less any most any indy skimaker will let you put what ever you want on your ski
i personally think the graphics on this ski nailed it
a classic wastch view
the picture hangs in the kf office
the cold smoke trenchin skinner on the tail speaks volumes to those who know the pleasures ,pain ,group comradery involved in breakin those in and knowin the second laps gonna ski as fkna stellar as the first lap with less pain and energy
fuck focul groups i hope you cats are as stoked to have the fruitation of a lot time and energy on a hot skier chix feet who crushes ups harder than downs
as i am having married/created one ;)
if ya wanna b more stoked about the +25 demgraphic or ya sold skis to dog peeps who don't like cats or a skibum who knows a thing or 2 bout skis and whats involved w/ creating them or any other goofy hocus focus group shizz feel free
but i know why my bro keeps makin em and it aint to take input from cough e-experts
kir and continue to impress people passionate about the gear they use to pursue those passions and i think you'll do fine
