Probly 84 im guessing bc the pocket rockets were only 90 underfoot. Its crazy to think how pocket rockets used to be looked at as fat powder skis back in their day. Nowadays 90 underfoot is pretty narrow.

I think the foils were 86 so the OG 1080s might have been narrower.

OG 1080s are 80 underfoot tops, probably more like 78

I used to ride troublemakers which were 78 mm under foot. I remember looking at them and thinking they were pretty wide compared to my previous skis. How times have changed...

The Vinnie D pro model was 75mm and I think this was the same as the other non pro models. Skis used to be narrow. I remember having the scratch BC which as 84mm and thinking it was huge haha.
