supersonicus Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hey Gang, Looks like he is skiing on a rebadged XTW? Seems like this ski would be way to wide to ski at the level he skis at. Whats the concept behind the XTW? instagram.com/p/tFyJXYzYc7/ Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 3, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted October 3, 2014 You sure that's not his half n half ski with a different top sheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wtrskior Posted October 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2014 He has usually ridden a wide body Goode, Tgas edition. Doubt he's on an off the shelf model these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonicus Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 What are the principals behind a wide ride for an elite skier? Seems like a wide ride would have to much buoyancy for such high speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 3, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted October 3, 2014 It is half wide and half mid/traditional fused together. Unless he very recently changed. No idea to any advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller GOODESkier Posted October 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2014 Seems like it works fairly well. I would be OK with his scores........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SkiJay Posted October 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2014 @supersonicus I had this conversation with Thomas and if I recall correctly, his half and half has is a Wide-Ride on the off-side of his ski and something like a 9600 on his on-side. Then he mounts his bindings over on the standard side so there is extra ski on the off-side of his bindings. This all makes it easy for him to engage tip and turn on his off-side.

Baller JoeMac Posted October 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2014 I am on one of his skis. I think SkiJay is correct. It is a cool ski. Takes a bit to get used to. If you like a wide ride off side turn, but want something better for variable conditions, this is your ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator1 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 @supersonicus Check thread "holy grail of fin modification". You probably are stepping in something. @MattP I don't have permission to disclose that. But regardless of good or bad reports, I'll post them when I get them.
