Warp 14 unboxing

[Horton]

[Ed_Johnson]

@Horton...Of all the skis you have tested, or as @Wish would say, "Skies," this is the one I've been waiting for.

[ozski]

Your in for a good time on the Warp @Horton do you know the flex numbers on that ski?

[Wish]

Come on @Ed_Johnson‌ i correct that at least 1.11232112% of the time. Show some love...

 

Just can't get over the fact the Warp is a hollow ski. Also, I miss the ocational cameo by the pets in the videos. Is the new office a pet free zone?

[Chef23]

What s the rack on the wall? I could use one of those.

[Horton]

@Chef23‌ Google Cor Surf.

[Horton]

@ozski I do not know what flex they sent me. I have asked for the spec.

 

I have to finish another review before I get to try the Warp but I am pretty pumped to ride it.

[E_T]

@Horton‌ dibs when you get done

[GOODESkier]

@horton with all your gear testing, do you ever feel like you are chasing a different ski every review? Do you have a "fall back" ski you always go to to get your baseline back? Maybe give us a thread on what it is like to be on a different ski ever X number of sets?????

[Horton]

If there as a ski designed for an extraterrestrial trouble maker it is the Warp

[The_MS]

@GOODEskier Very few people know what his fall back ski is. That is one of those trade secrets you will probably never here.

[MattP]

@MS at least it is not the Monza

[Horton]

@rico‌ that story sounds familiar but I do not know.

[MattP]

@rico‌ I believe Reflex bought the warp 13 stock and sold them as a joint effort. Reflex has more marketing contact with skiers than Blue Sky.

[ForrestGump]

Warp and reflex no longer have anything to do with each other.

[Horton]

@ShaneH‌ I believe the two companies do some business together. I'm also under the impression that Warp does their own manufacturing again. I'll get the full story and report it at the end of the review

[Skoot1123]

More importantly - what can I run with the Warp?

[ForrestGump]

@Horton Somehwere I have an email I thought saying their distribution agreement had ended with reflex and Warp was again handling their own production and marketing. I could certainly be wrong.

[ozski]

@ShaneH - You are 100% correct. Warp is now back in house in Germany and there is no tie up with Reflex. Thierry Malhomme skiing the Warp below.

 

 

[Horton]

@GOODESkier I wrote a long response to your question but lost it so the answer is 42

[Wish]

Thierry has that fin dialed in...It whistles. Best season I ever had was on a whistlen fin box. My daughters is dialed and sings like a bird.

[GOODESkier]

@Horton got it, increase speed to 42 when calculating a baseline on any ski.

[Horton]

@GOODESkier‌ you must also calculate the coefficient of big spray

[Than_Bogan]

Horton's Constant? Iirc, it's 1.5/pi.

 

Unrelated fact: ShaneH's Constant: 2pi. In the same night.
