FruitBootProAnyone get a chance to ski these or talk to someone who has?
No idea what to expect from them. Are they most like Bdogs or Strangers or...?
Also come to think of it, I heard jack shit about the Short Pants Paradox last season, wish someone had reviewed it
Haven’t tried them but the design and shape look super interesting
Ordert a pair and can tell you more when ski Season starts in austria. And when they arrive.
talked to the armada rep and they should be like a stranger but more for park skier.
Thats the reason why they narrowed it down to 95mm . You got also a smaller tip to make it more versatile. Should carve like a dream with a radius of 15m.
Got different more rockert tails then the stranger. So they dont hook by landing switch.
Flex in the tails also a tat stiffer that u got a nice Plattform to land on. Tails also got a metal clip so they are more protected.
Flex shouldn’t be to stiff with (4-5-6) and the nose is pretty soft from the feel.
comparison is often taken with the bdog because of similar waist with and both got soft tapered noses.
thats my first impression, can tell you more when skis arrived.

Danke Bruedi fuers Informationen 🙏
Honestly might rather go with Bdogs because they're more rockered and have straight taper but a park-oriented Stranger still sounds fun as hell
The similarity to the Stranger is how good that ski turns and how aggressive it can be with the turning radius but it got a different flex profile and edge around the whole ski and its way lighter.
You could say its similar to the B-dog in the nose and Edollo in the tail.
Ive always found it harder to get into the noses so I wanted to have a softer nose to make that easier but a slightly stiffer tail to have some nice stability on landings and big jumps. Been riding it -2cm from true center all season for street and resort/park and its been great!
Hyped to hear what you think about it if you decide to get it!
Got my pair in!
Tried them completely at random at Freeride Testival at Stubai (AT) last season. Took no more than two turns to absolutely fall in love with them, I just had to have a pair. They will be replacing my 2020 Bacons. Just as that pair, I found the Kimbos to have a newschool-ish fun carving performance but much sharper, more nimble and with a shorter turn radius. An incredibly fun ski that really begs you to combine sharp, snappy turns with quick jumps and butters in between.
Can't wait for next season to start!
