Just not up on the site. We're still in discussion as to whether we'll be making the ski strictly for David or if we'll make another public batch.
UPDATE: We're going to make some for public sale.

We're currently working on new shirt / hoodie designs, but hats / beanies / headbands are finalized and should be up on the website in the coming weeks.

I daily commander 98s on the east coast. They absolutely rail everything on the mountain, with exception of pow. Not great float but thats what fat skis are for. They seem way too light for having metal but it works. The best way I can describe them is split personality. Flat on bases you can pivot and smear and swerve all you want but get em on edge and you will be able to go SCARY fast. I have em -5 from center and they do everything well. I had a buddy detune them underfoot and they slide rails like a dream. My only gripe is you have to literally throw your body into almost a front flip motion to butter them but aren’t butters all about attention anyway?
cozzeyDamn a commander 98 sounds like it would be a sick little ripper. Might have to cop that ski for my Colorado quiver. How would it hold up as a one ski quiver?
Can anybody tell me the best place to mount new ghost trains? Recommended is -5. I like to jib, spin, occasional moguls when they’re soft, get in the air. I have been told they still ride ok at -3. How much pow performance is lost (if any)if I mount at -3? Or should I just mount at recommended and run em.
Personal rule: If I'm torn about mounting at recommended or a cm or two in front of it, I always split the difference. I really don't think most folks would be able to tell the difference between 2cm of mount point, on most skis. I also haven't found any Moment's I've ridden (Bibby, Bibby Tour, Deathwish, Deathwish Tour, Bibby Tour 108, Meridian 107, Meridian 117) to be super affected by mount point. So I'd go -4 cm if I were you.

Thanks for the feedback cy. I imagine -4 would be good.
@hot.pocket and @tcurle any suggestions? Yall are the moment experts.

hey mate
did you already buy the skis, If so can you post a pic of them ? Sometimes the website doesn't do the graphics justice....
Rodiganoh mate they look amazing, you will have to let me know what you think of the ride when the madness is over.
which binding are you going for?
Pivot 18s are getting mounted tonight. Then will be taking a hike with them tomorrow. It will only be one run down the hill (obviously lifts are closed) but I could share my first impressions.
Itching to see what we can get on top of for next season! Saw @tcurle on some of the wildcats at revy and they’re looking fire, volcanos? Maybe an earth themed vibe for next years.
Once again, props for pointing me in the right direction for the diving board!

Took a run on em today.
Skin loops didn’t fit, so had to use some bailing twine to make some bigger loops.
conditions: 4 inches of fesh on some old hard crust.
first impressions: my billy goats may not be getting much use anymore
as mentioned, I mounted em at +1 from recommended and didn’t manage to de tune the contact points. These things SURF, which I was super pleased with. Pretty stiff and felt like they could charge. Seems
like they WANTED to go fast but obviously wasn’t able to get them out in the open. Super pivoty in the trees and felt very maneuverable. Edges gripped pretty well in
the crust. Almost too much for what I’m used to? I’m usually on caylors with super dull/blunt edges so was surprised to have some grip. Loved the long turn radius. It was hard to tell how hard I could
drive the tips, but seemed like I could have a good forward stance and not go over
the handle bars. Pretty poppy and stompy too. Hit a few small drops to fresh and it was a dream.
could be my new fav ski but only time will tell.

Nice little review of your first impressions, thanks mate. I am now torn between these and the Banana's for Japan next season ....
OCoffeyIdk if this years frankenski graphic is toppable, but I’m excited to see
That graphic was the Michael Jordan of ski graphics. The new graphic is very different from scooter fires unfortunately, but it's still better than any 2021 park graphic I've seen...

Just thinking out loud but it would be awesome to have a Asian themed graphic. Basically a bunch of Chinese or Japanese words on a graphic in a sick font/layout

That’s sounds like crap old tattoo my brother got after Iraq
How soft is the flex of the frankenski compared to other skis in that class? Also would you describe the ski as more damp or more poppy? Sorry, I think someone already asked this but I'm a lazy mf.
Any more info on the new 101 and some details about what to expect?
SoggyOatmeal420Is the moment wildcat 101 basically like a newer pb&j? It looks sick
OCoffeyNo more pbj
The Wildcat 101 is here to replaced the discontinued PB&J. It'll serve the same purpose as the PB&J, with some updated sidecut geometry, slightly longer lengths and a larger size run.
If you liked the PB&J, or have always wanted a PB&J, you will be very happy with the Wildcat 101. Our team / employees will be using the 101 for everything from park laps to low tide days to spring time shreddin.

What's the flex like on those? Also are they more damp or poopy would you say?
SoggyOatmeal420What's the flex like on those? Also are they more damp or poopy would you say?
Definitely more poopy :)
The flex will be very similar to the PB&J, and almost identical to the Wildcat 108. With the addition of ash stringers, the ski will be more damp and composed at higher speeds without stiffening it up too much.
Compared to most park skis on the market (Blend, Wet, etc...) it will be fairly stiff. Much more inline with the Magnus 102. Stiffer core for stomping landings and charging chop, heavy rocker for maneuverability and butters.
