Baller Stevie Boy Posted August 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2013 So what ski are the Big Dawgs, that ski @ 34mph liking, is there a particular one that stands out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2013 @scotchipman...it is a compelling argument, though, eh? If I was GOODE I'd be pretty pleased with my results ,which are fairly staggering if you think about it. I have yet to ride one but will probably give GOODE a try when next I switch.

Baller_ Wish Posted August 31, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted August 31, 2013 Most all the skiers at the Atlanta Pro-Am ... the Am 34 skiers ... were on Goode skis. All but 2 of the Elite 8 were on Goodes. All but one in the final 4. Pretty sure that non-Goode skier guy won. ;) just sayn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller GregDavis Posted August 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2013 Who won Big Dawg finals on ski other than Goode, what year, and what brand of ski? I know, just seeing if anyone out there remembers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted August 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2013 I love my Quest but the numbers don't lie - I still wonder if its the left vs right option that gives the Goode the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mylemsky Posted August 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2013 Of the Goode's are they Nano's/mids/9800s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JC McCavit Posted August 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted August 31, 2013 I know the Big Dawgs are 34 mph skiers and the Goode skis seem to perform well for the women at 34 mph, but when it comes to open men's division, the picture is nearly the complete opposite. I just can't help thinking it is the skier and not the ski. I am pretty sure guys like Mapple, Bedal and others are capable of winning Big Dawg tournaments on brands other than Goode.

Baller KcSwerver Posted September 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 1, 2013 I agree skis are so subjective. And all skis made this year have the "ability" to win everything, but I think it is the skiers who truly do the work. I could be wrong, but I bet you with a week or so of practice, nate Smith could equal his practice Average on almost any flagship ski made this year. Maybe I'm justifying the fact that I just switched from goode to HO ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted September 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 1, 2013 I switched from Goode to Mapple this year and I have been very pleased. Despite missing the first two months due to a broken ankle, I tied my tournament PB twice and tied my practice PB as well. My every day skiing has been far more consistent too.

Baller schafer Posted September 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm a 36 mph skier. -22 all the way up to running -32 once in a blue moon. My ski buddy just demoed a nano one. And I tried it. I'm on a strada right now(waiting for a vapor) and my buddy is a 32 and 34 mph skier on an S1. He couldn't turn the Goode. And described it as a lot of work to ski on. I tried it out of coureosity. I skied pretty well on it. But I also found it was much more effort to turn it than my strada. But I got much better results out of it at 36 than he did at 32 or 34.

Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 3, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 3, 2013 @OB -- Scott Thompson in Iowa used to run a tournament that way. He did groupings by line length regardless of age or sex. After two rounds, the top two skiers went head to head. It was a really fun format. There was at least once where a final group was a guy against a girl, both of whom hadn't run "x" line length. For grouping purposes he just had you send in your best tournament score of the season with your entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcityskier Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 @schafer Not being all about the Goode gets a dislike? Anyway, any idea if binding and fin setup were good? I've been on more than one ski that someone goofed up, and it can make all the difference in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller schafer Posted December 21, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2013 @madcityskier I'm pretty sure it was set up properly. My ski buddy had been in contact with Dave himself. I think they make great skis. But I know that some skis suit others better. Good thing we don't all want the same ski. The ski world would be boring Or same style(although it'd be cool to ski like Nate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
