HO Test Ski

[Dirt]

This looks like an Eric Lee experiment.

 

[Not_The_Pug]

The tail is too wide and it doesn't look like a "Canoe Paddle". Plus Eric doesn't like color on his skis. :)

That must be KLPs? That thing was wiiiiide. Like way wide. I never saw the bottom of it, though.

No. I do not think so. They are not playing with tenths. More like hundredths or less. That could be the first A4 prototype.

 

Darn R&D looks like fun.

[MattP]

@Horton it is. You remember seeing what I am riding..

[Ilivetoski]

This is like what Taylor Woosley had. She had a large cut down the middle with some black something on the bottom like on that ski. Never asked her about it but it was an A2

[MattP]

@livetoski "but it was an A2 " I would say it had A2 graphic sheets on it..

It kinda surprises me that none (?) of the HO skiers are using the EXO's. I've never used them, but they look intriguing! I see pics like this and it makes me wonder why these guys aren't using them.

[webbdawg99]

No one uses them bc there are much better systems on the market. There have been lots of durability issues with the Exos as well.

[Steven_Haines]

Didn't they fix that problem with the main bar?

[ntx]

My son is on them and has been for two years and loves them. They release when they should.

@Steven Haines, I am of the opinion that products need to be proven through tournaments. If a product works, you will see it at tournaments. I also put weight on what pros or Big Dawgs use as far as equipment. I don't see the exo's, that speaks volumes to me.

[Steven_Haines]

Boody, I'd have to agree with your statement. You just don't see them anywhere!

[andjules]

Isn't it funny, that as we're speculating on top secret, cutting edge prototypes of tomorrow's technology, we're staring at the ski in the hands of a guy who's almost 60?!?

You could call it laughable, but I actually think it's one of the greatest things about slalom. It's got to be one of the only exciting, athletic, cool sports where you can be right at cutting edge @ 60.

[ForrestGump]

Kris turned 60 3 weeks ago I believe. Not almost. He's there! And he still ran multiple 39s at the Big Dawg in Cypress. No wonder he's considered a legend. He and Jenifer were sitting with all of the Ballers under @Boody's tents all weekend. They were awesome to talk to. Except when he was making fun of my Exo liners which had faded to pink. Hmmmm, maybe Doane should mount them to his fruity pink strada! lol
