Two questions about bdogs.

As the bdog is a softer ski how do they handle jumps and do they have much swingweight?

They handle jumps well, they have a pretty fun balance of playfulness and stiffness. I could only see it being an issue if you’re routinely throwing doubles.

As far as the swing weight, the skis are not light, but it’s not really that noticeable while riding them. If you’re worried about it just ride true to size and it’ll be chill.

But I wouldn’t buy them unless they were discounted, definitely not worth 700$

Mango 100 is pretty much just a better version of the bdog, and it’s only 100$ more than the bdog retails for, so if you have the money look into it

you kids are on crack, I just bought pair of bdogs for $400 which is literally half the price of a pair of mango 100s ($800). you’ll be lucky to find a pair of mangos on sale in your size whereas bdogs have been pretty easy to get on sale since they released. anyone paying full price for them probably has never even heard of this website. shits apples to oranges, if you want to spend TWICE the amount of money on some skis you’re gonna slam into metal be my guest

I switched from the bdogs to the magnus (basically the same ski as the mango) and never looked back. It is indeed better in every way. I am disgusted by the heaviness of my old bdogs now after getting used to the lightness of the magnuses

Yes but didn’t he use them so he can do the butter more easily?
