What's on3p cooking up?

Gilson has a raised base on their skis and they ride like garbage imo. Maybe these wont be as bad since its only directly underfoot.

I don't see it helping that much. As soon as you go to grip the rail the edge is going to touch. Also straight base on rails is really sticky sometimes, metal on metal usually slides better but i guess once you lose your edge you are down to base anyway.

Burton did this on the Whammy Bar years ago. Dunno why they don't do it now.

IsitWinterYet17Assuming this is purely for park and rail durability?- which totally makes sense. I can't see this being very beneficial for hold on hard pack or ice for all mountain skiing though.

I really don't want to say too much right now, but it won't go to market unless it can do both.

RyhanIf ON3P ever gets bought out by k2 or whoever, I'm going to buy like 20 pairs of K108's and stockpile them before the quality goes to shit.

Haha yeah, I don't think you have to worry about K2 buying us...

why would you even think this?
(however, a little known secret is that the kartel 98 was designed off the old seth pistol... and the 108 is just the next size up)

Oh I'm sorry. Was my situational humor too offensive? The k108 is by far the best overall ski ever made.. and I don't ski an ounce of park.

I really hope this concept works well bc my magnuses didn’t hold up at all and I’ve only had them for 3 months (30 days).

Interesting to see how this slides on rails relative to normal skis with edges. After my edge blew out on my natural front inside edge the base wore away fairly quickly and the core got exposed, so then the wood kept getting stuck on rails that were slightly sticky, which at my home mountain is all of them lol. Ended up replacing the edge and sealing the core and filling the base back in and it’s going strong. I believe Nordica was doing something similar to this, not sure how it worked out but I could be totally wrong. Props to On3p for trying this out and testing for a long period of time to test the durability!
