Administrators Horton Posted July 31, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2011 Before I took these two rides I changed the settings the stock numbers.

Baller Dirt Posted July 31, 2011 Baller Share Posted July 31, 2011 He finally looks like he is getting tall and going slowly. It looks effortless. I usually ask him if it is 38 mph, very disappointing. They do make a ski for Horton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 1, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 1, 2011 looks like you have an awful lot of time at 35 off. Ski looks like it really runs fast and turns easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 1, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2011 I am not 100% sure about the settings but it is easy to ride. I was worried that this ski was going to be a mess and I was going to hate it... Why do I have to love all these skis so much?!? The guys at SkiWest that have purchased Elites and Razors are looking at me like "What? No Stop!"

Baller ForrestGump Posted August 1, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 1, 2011 Seriously, from the video.......that ski looks better under you than any of the others have. You just look comfortable on it. I know you really liked the fusion but the videos I saw of you on it, you had a lot of body movement. On this thing you're locked in.

stone88 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The test centre in France is a couple of hours drive for me. Do I really want to drive up there and risk blowing a months salery.......? You look really really smooth on that ski! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironman Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 What happened to test 3,4,& 5. I rode an Elite before I got my Sans, It is an SR1 but it is supposed to be a soft version. Could be a pre SR2. The Elite is very fast but has a very small sweet spot at the ball. The Sans is a great ski, very fast, very stable, large sweet spot, and predictable at the ball. It seems to make smooth turns or radical turns if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 1, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2011 I had bad settings for rides 3-5. Not much to say. I have good settings now. I am on track to understand the ski and round some balls.

Baller skibug Posted August 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2011 I should have thought before I asked you that questions as I know you are trying to be unbias and not necessarily compare one ski to another. I do have a fair question for you though; and it is sort of a highjack of this thread. In all seriousness, do you think you will ever land on one solitary ski that you will ride for better than 1 year? I think we all wind up with a favorite ski, eventually.

Baller ForrestGump Posted August 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2011 I've got a line on a 68 SR2 for a really good price. I just have a hard time buying it since I weigh 172lbs, even though it's cheap enough that I could get my money out of it if I didn't like it. It's one of the two skis I wanted to try after Regionals. I tried the MidRide Sunday and kind of liked the way it came back under me at the finish of the turn. But it was more effort to ski than the Elite. Grrrrr. I like the effortless ride of the elite, but would like a bigger sweet spot to stand in.

ironman Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have found that binding postion on the Sans is critical, more so then fin position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted August 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2011 @ Ed Johnson; I have tried the pre production quattro. I can see the potential, but I am told the production ride is mucho different. I have not had the chance to get ahold of one (since adam is gone). I would like to giver a go.

Baller jdarwin Posted August 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2011 @Ed Johnson - you need to send the Nano back and have the "twist" taken out of it! Non-twist Nano = perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted August 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted August 2, 2011 Joe, I wish they could take the Twist out, since I believe that is what is giving me fits. Seems to catch, "Tip Bite," coming off the apex on the offside turns and causes the ski to porpoise up and down on it's edge. Game over. Happens at least once per set, especially as the rope gets shorter. Have not run one 38 on it yet. More than frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
