Baller rq0013 Posted April 20, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 20, 2011 Has anyone heard any news about this ski that schnitz designed and now is riding, along with a big dawg skier?

Baller MattP Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 @Brent do you know what date he posted the video? ( you being the video master and everything) I checked his facebook and did not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 @Brent. gotcha. I looked last night but it may have been to late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 It's still there. As for history being made, not so sure about that. Schnitz has been looking for a soft ski for some time and Manfred built one for him to try and he liked it. Harold is also on a softer ski (than we think of as normal) and is liking it. I'm going to give one a try myself as I'm sure I've never skied on a truly soft ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 The Warp is very soft but rebounds very quickly. It is amazing to see how it flexes on the turn and instantly after it is straight to go to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rq0013 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 So the new idea is to make a softer flex ski so it flexes more creating a larger rebound which equals more speed? Any other new ideas on the ski. IMsure the ski would break down faster than a stiffer ski then. Maybe an rtm ski would be better for this type of ski.

Baller MattP Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 I think the article said Schintz likes skiing on really soft skis but can not get Goode to lay them up that soft anymore so he found someone that would do it for him. So he thinks the ski is the "Schnitz" and will change the industry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ral Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 The Warp has a very different construction. No skier on it has complained about it breaking down, and all skiers that I know are in one ski 300+ sets every year. Do not hit it with the handle, though...

Baller Roger Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 I agree that Horton should test one. Harold has been running consistently into 41 on his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCskiFreak Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Am I correct in thinking that the Warp is a coreless ski? If this is so and it is supported by internal bulkheads of sorts than it should take many years to break down, and this would only be caused by delamination between the interior structure and the walls of the ski.

Administrators Horton Posted April 21, 2011 Administrators Share Posted April 21, 2011 Tell me again... who is making this ski? I have a list of skis for the year but brand new stuff is always interesting.

Baller Roger Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 @Horton - Harold's brother makes the ski in Austria. MR (Manfred / Robert) are the company. I will get you contact information tonight when I ski with Manfred and Harold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted April 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2011 @Brent - I don't know if they have a website or not. I also have no knowledge about Schnitz selling them. I do know that Schnitz asked them to make a softer ski to try and they did (no specs for the layup were sent or used)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Roger Posted April 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2011 I skied on the MR last night. It is faster than any of the Fischer's I have (2 Orange, 1 Yellow). Whether it's the ski for me or not, I don't know yet. I'll ski a couple more sets on it Saturday. @Horton - I'll send you contact information via email shortly.

KM Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 @ral, I had a handle hit the top of my Warp. Left a slight depression in the ski, but structurally intact. Same thing happened when I pried my G-10 plate off. I even used wood under the pry bar. I think it is due to the ski being hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
