Just saw this on Torin's facebook. Click for larger image

Next years Pipe Cleaner or I was thinking a TYW Pro as he has been basically only been using prototypes this summer from what I've seen.

I have no idea. I guess its because the magnum opuses sports a balsa wood core. Balsa is a incredibly light wood, but it is hard to construct skis with it because its very brittle. Maybe if Line figured out how to do it, it will drip down to other skis?

Candide's line with faction uses a balsa hybrid core.The key is hybrid, if it was 100% balsa there would be no binding retention/strength.

Looks like Sage is rocking the new Automatic, and Cody has the new Rocker2 122.
The neon green STH2 binding looks sick.

maybe when it's mounted on neon skis but i doubt it'll look good on much else. I'm still not a fan of the orange fks's.

A tech savy individual could cross reference his pictures with Interpol's international ski binding registry database and have a hit squad at his doorstep withing 5-7 business days.

Aha, I love how those bindings would look great with the Full Tilt Olympic boots you just posted. But yeah, beyond that, it would look like you're using a pair of tennis balls as bindings.

And this shot is interesting. I feel like the skis arent wide enough to be Bent Chetlers, but they have the spooning in the tips.

Like others, I can definitely see convex bases slowly trickling into entire lines of skis over the next few years.

Maaybe I spoke too soon. They aren't that bad and since I would prefer that colorway over any of the current, I may get them. Sorry for lashing out earlier...

However, Sally needs to cut the shit with this sparkles/metallic crap like on the Guardian's/STH2's. As long as these are more of a matte neon yellow, I won't mind.

It does say 'proto' on the ski, maybe an upgraded bentchetler or a entirely new ski.

Agreed, saw him post this on his facebook. Don't really love either. I do HATE Tanner's suit though, so at least Dudemont has that consolation.

However, Tim is now in Les Arcs for the cancelled Line Catcher. On Instagram he keeps tagging everything Bentchetler, so who knows. It may still be the Bents

stoked on the new Smith I/O7, smith's new easy-change lens goggle. You just pull and twist a little tab/pulley on the top to make the lens pop out, almost seems too easy but they look sick at least.
