Ggamel1Anybody know how a 191 rides compared to 186
PudgeMan that sucks about a 120ish freestyle shape, but change gone come. I think I am most excited about the C&D changes
Swandog7What did they change in the FR exactly? I guess its the Magnus now but were there any real changes?
Carl_the_LlamaBphilly had quite a bit to say on this in the 15/16 thread, might want to go take a read...
jmellberg800kinda bummed that they dropped the prester this year, gonna have to cop another pair of moment vices instead. Unless they still have a pair left this summer.
skier.chrisI am so hyped for the magnus. Been buying armadas for the past few seasons but next year on3p's rein will start

jmellberg800are they just expecting the magnus to be their jump specific ski? or do they mot really care about cambered/ jump skis? the prester seemed nice but it also dosent match the style of riding for most the guys on the team so i dont blame them
-wakes-Any demo days in southern/central Idaho this year?
StayAmphibiousHas anybody had any luck getting in contact with on3p lately? I've emailed them twice and called once within the last week and haven't gotten anything back regarding shipping dates on the skis I ordered 3 weeks ago.

iggyskierSorry for the delay. Our first real day back from SIA was Monday, and we showed up to around 450 emails, so we've been working through them as quickly as we can. If you call, please leave a message. Half our guys are on the road, the other half are on the floor in headphones using loud machines, and we don't have a secretary or office person, so yeah, please a message.
If you order was placed ~3 weeks ago, your skis should be ready to ship soon. Lead time on all custom and backordered skis has been 3-4 weeks.
I am assuming you still have an email for us to get back to in the inbox. You should hear from us soon. Or PM me directly and I can check things out for you. Thanks!
cobra_commanderNew Kartel 108 is a very very sexy ski.
One of my favorite new skis for this year. It is pretty awesome. Stable, edges as hard as any other 105+ ski!
Carl_the_LlamaCan you compare to the older kartels?
cobra_commanderWay more defined through the turn. Edges exceptionally well and the ski really locks into the turn. New rocker shape is largely to blame IMO. Didn't get to ski through any soft snow other than spring bumps but I have a feeling it will float really well too.
PownessAny pictures / videos from SIA?
JakeSmithDemoed the Magnus today at Bridger and had such a blast. Probably one of the most fun skies I have ever ridden.
RodiganCan you expand on your experience?
JakeSmithWell I only was able to ski 4 runs of groomers and bumps, so I really only got an initial feel of the ski. On groomers they edge very well, and were extremely fun and poppy. Swing weight was low, Demo was 181 mounted at center, and in bumps they are insanely nimble. The tips seemed to be a smidge softer than the tails, I'd say the tips and tails are medium-soft and increases in stiffness a bit underfoot. The rocker profile is pretty much the same as my Jeffrey 114 and now that I think about it, the Magnus is essentially a narrow iteration of on3p's fun ski shape. I was talking to the guy at the tent and he described the Magnus as a narrower kartel because a lot of their park riders abandoned the Filthy when the kartel 98 came out.

iggyskierDemo guys might have misspoken or maybe just didn't convey things correctly.
The Magnus is an update to the FR, rather than a skinny Kartel. The changes were made, though, because a large portion of the team thought some updates would make it a much better ski, and all but a few riders were skiing the Kartel 98 primarily for park the past year. The team was moving over to the Kartel for 2 reasons. 1) They prefered the width/stability of the Kartel 98 and 2) Most were not a fan of the way the full symmetrical skis ride switch.
It doesn't have tips as tapered as the Kartel, the mount is much more centered than the Kartel, and the flex is much rounder and more buttery than the Kartel.
It basically took the 5 years of team feedback on the Filthy Rich and updated it, with Magnus is the primary driving force for the direction of the ski.
If you liked the Filthy Rich, you are going to like the Magnus. But we believe it now functions much better as a ski, not just a park ski. Carves better both forward and switch, has a bit less tail rocker so more stable in landings, and a slightly rounder flex and tighter turn radius so it is even easier to carve in and out of features.
Hope that clears that up.
ForeverYungFuck this is gonna be a hard choice between the magnus and kartel 98
SurfboardIf you're skiing park all day, go Magnus. I have Kartel 98's and I've been considering picking up some Magnus or FR next year if I can find a deal bc the Kartlels are a pretty wide ski for lapping rope parks
Profahoben_212Yall have any demo dates around tahoe? I checked the website and didnt see any.
iggyskierSorry not this year. Normally we would have planned them around the WWSRA industry demos, but the dates flipped this year and we weren't able to make it down.
No rep in the area (yet) so looking like next year would be the soonest we would be down there. Sorry. We tried last year, and the days we had set all got rained out.
