Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 17, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2012 Maybe Scot can shed some light, how much difference is there between 9960 and Fire, I take it that the Fire can be skied up to 36MPH where as the 9960 is built for the speed you ski at, I,m at 55MPH, not sure about the assymetrical thing, does it make that much difference, Traditional or Mid, used to be on a Sixam 2, best ski I have skied on to date. Is it worth the extra bucks for the 9960, thinking the fire if you wanted to sell it on, can be skied by left or right skiers and can be skied at any speed. Would go for the inserts, but still unsure, the problem with goode, there is a choice which is goode but not goode if you know what I mean, should I stay or should I go, difficult to get it right, live in the UK shipping becomes expensive, as far as Demos go. P.S. if anybody requires some amusment, go to www.amazon.co.uk - search for mens hair removal - scroll down to VEET - select - and read the reviews, Priceless !

Baller ForrestGump Posted July 17, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2012 Late last summer I skied both a 9960 mid and Fire Mid. They felt exactly the same to me. I bought the Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 17, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted July 17, 2012 Link for the VEET thing, sry Horton not subject matter, but amusing http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000KKNQBK/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Thanks for your input ShaneH, you still liking the Fire or have you moved on.

Baller tfriess Posted July 17, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2012 The fire has the sickest ski designs on the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted July 17, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2012 Stevie Boy, I picked up 4 buoys on average within 2 weeks of getting on the Fire. Very easy to ski on consistently. I moved to an HO A2 recently because I personally like the way it turned, although it's not nearly as easy to ski on as the Fire was. Even though I'm no longer on it, I highly recommend someone try it. And honestly, I can't see paying $400 more after riding both of the Goodes when they feel that similar.

Baller ForrestGump Posted July 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 18, 2012 I was 1/4" back on the bindings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 18, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted July 18, 2012 Binding placement and number if you would be so kind and would that be with tips or the goode method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller scuppers Posted July 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 18, 2012 I read the reviews on Veet. THAT is funny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 18, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted July 18, 2012 Scuppers glad you liked it, I have been scuppered, I was up for the Fire Mid, credit card at the ready, only to receive an email saying that, Mid Fire with inserts is only recommended if you have a hard shell setup, Gutted !

Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 19, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ah what they meant was, the best results are with a hard shell setup, just thinking the vector or strada boot are pretty good as far as lateral stiffness goes, so we might have a go.

H20SkiGirl Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Stevie Boy, I am on the Fire and have been for almost a year and I love it... I had the opportunity to try a friends of mine's 9906 and it felt quite different... I was able to run all the same passes but it felt like i had to try harder to get it to turn... Just my 2 cents! Oh yea the 9906 was shorter than my fire, so that could have made the diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35 in the bag Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Stevie Boy, After 5 minutes of reading I started peeing my pants cause that Veet thing is so funny. I wonder though......could it get me through 39 if I applied it at exactly the right moment. Maybe Dave should get rights to the patent and then re-label it at Goode Power Gel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Stevie Boy Posted July 25, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ok Guy,s & Gals, there,s a lot of chit chat about the new goode nano 1, but it,s loads of dosh, it,s not the money, but I am never gonna get to 41 off, so whats the limit for the fire,what line length are we talking about for the Goode Fire, being skied on by a average skier.

Baller Chef23 Posted July 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2012 @Stevie Boy I watched a 13 year old run into 35 off on his this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted July 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2012 @Stevie Boy I don't think there are any limitations associated with the Fire. I believe David Miller skied one into 41 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2012 From looking at the website it looks like the Fire is the 9960 construction just without as many flexes or being foot specific. It doesn't seem like there should be any limitations on how deep you could ski it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
