Baller_ RichardDoane Posted August 6, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted August 6, 2012 I did in 2010, the Strada is a much easier ski to ride, and my scores reflect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Rup Posted August 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 I did too. I liked the Strada straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddF Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Did you stay on the same size? What does easier to ride mean? finishes turns better, gets wider? Thanks for any input Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller slalomboy96 Posted August 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 I went from a 67.5" A1 to a 68" 2012 strada, I went 3 bouys better on my first ski on it, I was really impressed with how much faster it was and how hard it turned while still being stable forgiving, it allowed me to be late and jump all over it to get it turned and across course, my consistancy went through the roof, it just felt easier to ski on and less physically demanding.

Baller auskier Posted August 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2012 I went from a 65" A1 to a 66" 12 strada this past southern summer. Best ski change ive ever made. Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredH20 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 who as gone from a strada to A2? sold my Strada (2011 Model) Looking at either the A2, AM or the new ski HO is releasing now in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've gone from a 2010 Strada to an A2, with a Goode Mid in between. The Strada, to me, was too tip loose. I could never feel like the tip would engage. On the A2, the tip engages and the ski turns horizontal to the water. Some people, I'm sure, like that tip attitude on the strada. I just wasn't one of them. That said, Rossi looks more tip down on the 2012 Strada than he did on the previous ones. So maybe they've made some minor changes to it. Or maybe his skiing has changed a bit. As far as the AM goes, I'd want to try it before buying it. I know two 39 off capable skiers who have tried the 67 AM recently and couldn't run their openers. They said the ski was ridiculously big and felt like they were skiing on a Connelly Big Daddy or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footloose42 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I could be wrong, but wouldn't the difference in ski length account for a greater change in performance than the difference in ski brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller auskier Posted August 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2012 I also tested a 66 A2... Still had nothing on the strada for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skiboat38 Posted August 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 8, 2012 Wasted 2 years on a Strada, went to a Nano Twist mid-ride and picked up a full pass the first day, have been on it for 3 weeks now and running 35 easier than I ever have.

ToddF Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Where I live at I don't have an easy way to demo skis so this input is great. Thanks Killer what did you notice different when you went to the A-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member wski1831 Posted August 8, 2012 Supporting Member Share Posted August 8, 2012 I went from A1 to Strada. I liked both skis, but the Strada was more forgiving when I got on the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
