jompcockTf the commentator smoking? Quad cork? That was a trip 18 with cork 7 cork 3 cork 7
ajbskiattacks arent so bad. you see cole richardson (@skier_cole) doing cork 7s with heavy as f head kores in deep snow. he is getting paid by them tho. im not sure cody is even sponsored by tyrolia...
i remember a video of aaron blunck pre releasing on tyrolias in a competition, then in the next run he is on pivots. i think something fishy is going on; many sponsorship contracts have performance clauses in them.

mnosbodHeavy Head Kore? They're literally one of the lightest freeride skis available on the market

idk they dont seem so light... they def didnt feel very light either.
I think for how stiff they are they incredibly light. Similar to the bonafide in terms of performance, but weigh as much as factions. so its a great ski. I still think its quite impressive someone can cork 7 on them, and that the bindings hold up.

mnosbodit's not impressive at all that they can easily flick around a sub 2000g ski mounted with 900g tyrolia 16 bindings.

ReturnToMonkeyStiffness is also completely unrelated to weight.
ajbskisome of this i agree with. some not.
swing weight for sure. like a centre mounted bonafide could feel lighter than a kore mounted at the very back. its a moment of intertia calculated from the centre of your boot to the centre of gravity on either the tip or tail.
id consider dampening/dampness of the ski to be a big factor of its performance too. any head graphene skis take the cake on that front. but it takes away from the "feel" of the ski. you cant really sense the snow.
ajbskiwhat happened to cody laplante is pretty unusual and i dont think the bindings themselves have too much to do with it.
ajbskiyes it is lol. they wouldnt get the exposure they do if it wasnt impressive.
head kore as a mogul busting, hard charging, stiff as hell ski is relatively light.
head kore as a ski in general, not light.
the list is of skis of a similar size and shape, not commenting on performance in different conditions.
the point being made was if attacks hold up doing hard tricks, in variable conditions on heavier "freeride" skis, they are a decent binding in my opinion. i would consider as a viable option for a park set up.

mnosbodYou really think Sam Kuch is famous because people are impressed he can do a cork 7 on Head Kore skis? Come on now that's laughable.. Half the NSers can cork 7 & 3 and throw shifty's outside the park on identical/heavier weight setups. Are they the next Cole or kuch? No. It's the actual lines they are skiing and terrain in which they are able to land these tricks which is impressive. Even guys riding actual heavy skis (2400+ grams) like Parker White and Kye Petersen. They aren't backcountry legends because their skis are heavy and people think their legs are strong lmao. It's cause they fucking rip. Dude none of the skis you listed except the Blizzard Bonafide are actually similar in shape/design to the Head Kore outside of the fact that they are all skis and not monoskis or snowboards. Head Kore is a lightweight ski series. Sam Kuch and Cole Richardson are still great skiers. These aren't mutually exclusive statements
ajbskiLet’s see your cork 7 on a heavy set up.

mnosbodI'll just refer you to my previous statement because this has literally nothing to do with what I said. You think 1800g skis are heavy and Cole is a beefcake and famous for being able to huck tricks on them. That's fine you think that, but it doesn't make it true. K2 poachers are over 2000gs per ski. Revolt 95s are over 1900. Even Line Blends are over 1900gs per ski.. People aren't impressed with riders because of the weight of skis. You're wrong dude and it's a stupid argument defending a stupid statement
ajbskiYou’re right.
i think head Kores are relatively heavy
im impressed with anyone who can spin those.
I don’t think that’s stupid.
