 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I tried out a pair (or two pairs) of these in Wengen on a recent weeks skiing. I was really disappointed in them....they were only happy if I was intensely carving down a slope but in areas where I had to Chuss (spelling?) they just flapped around merrily and were basically wavering around from side to side....it took all my years experience not to cause a nasty accident...anyway I took these back and tried some longer ones but same problem..
...now i know what NOT to buy!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ah, but Wear The Fox Hat, she didn't know whose opinion to trust at the beginning of the season. Of course, we see your worth instantly.

Ian Hopkinson, I think Ian Hopkinson is a perfectly fine name, sir.

ah... mybe that's what happened then, he skied over a small peice of harder snow, the ski flapped up and broke his arm ...
Actually, I aquired a test pair for Mrs Ise who tried them for a couple of hours and hated them as well, something like the 8W I think.

ise, I would be interested to hear of Mrs Ise's full demo list and detailed opinions.
bolide's 9'18s are worn out entirely, she liked the *series, the Laser SC would suit, Volant Genesis Gold is a heavy option, she can get a good price on Dynastar (SC09?). Has Mrs Ise tried Metrons or Nordicas?
PS Strictly considering fast carver/skicross/detuned GS.

Thanks for that link Wear The Fox Hat, they certainly didn't send me to sleep because I was constantly on my guard - I am a competent skier but these made me feel like I'd gone back 20 years

ise, have you tried the '06 stockli lasers? I think I saw them somewhere and they looked worryingly like they've moved to monocoque construction...
